Schools, Education Policy, and the Future of the First Amendment
A democracy requires broad public support for freedom of expression. Individuals form persistent views about civil liberties and other political issues during adolescence. Many factors influence adolescents' opinions and beliefs, including what they learn and experience in schools. Therefore, schools' treatment of the Constitution and the press is important for the future of the First Amendment. In turn, state policies influence what schools teac…

The "Swing Voter" Revisited
The “Swing Voter” Revisited
The prevailing definition of a “swing voter” on the Supreme Court, set out in a landmark 1990 article in The Journal of Politics and unchallenged ever since, establishes an unreasonably high standard for determining whether a Justice truly fits that critical role.

By considering public opinion data from two original surveys (in 1997 and 1999) on free press rights against the backdrop of modern First Amendment jurisprudence, we offer new and original insights into the nature of popular suppor…

The Impact of Presidential Appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court
Previous research by Robert Dahl and others has argued that the predominant pattern of Supreme Court decisionmaking reflects the appointments Presidents make to the Court. But each President's impact on the Court's decisions may be limited if that President appoints multiple justices who fail to vote cohesively. In this article we evaluate the relative impact of five Presidents' appointments by focusing on the group behavior of blocs of president…
