  • Depictions of Partisan Bias at Oral Argument and Public Evaluations of the U.S. Supreme Court

    Open AccessJoshua Boston, Christopher Krewson et al.ARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly2026

    The Supreme Court relies on public goodwill for its authority, yet its decision-making processes are often hidden from the public eye. Media coverage of oral arguments in prominent cases provides an opportunity for Americans to assess how the Court carries out its procedures. Using a survey experiment conducted around the oral arguments in Trump v. Anderson , we show that depictions of partisan bias by the justices in their oral argument question…

  • Communicating the Politics of the Law: Legal and Legislative Rhetoric About High Court Decisions

    Open AccessAlbert H Rivero, Andrew Stones et al.ARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly2026References: 35

    Existing work documents how senators use their official communications to explain their Washington activities and build support in the district. However, relatively little remains known about how senators communicate about one of their most important constitutional duties—providing advice and consent on Supreme Court nominees. In this paper, we investigate how senators discuss Supreme Court nominations with their constituents, focusing on one com…
