Appointment of federal judges has become highly politicized over the past 25 years as presidents and political parties have become more intent on appointing judges who agree with their political ideology and perhaps even specific policy goals. This study of 3700 opinions assesses the extent to which Presidents Carter and Reagan succeeded in influencing the policy decisions of their appointees in labor and economic regulation cases. Analysis shows that Reagan judges are similar to judges appointed by other Republican presidents and that Carter judges are similar to judges appointed by other Democratic presidents
