- W329387652 abstract "The impressive article by Lee Epstein, Andrew Martin, Kevin Quinn, and Jeffrey Segal tells us something illuminating about the behavior of Supreme Court Justices. But I do not believe that the article tells us what it seems to tell us. Professor Epstein and her co-authors seem to say that Justices routinely change their views, so that a President should not be too concerned about the ideology of prospective appointees, and the people who might oppose those appointees should not be too concerned, either. As Professor Farnsworth demonstrates in his excellent commentary, the Epstein et al. paper does not justify such a conclusion, and the authors’ explicit claim is more modest than the tone of the article perhaps suggests. In any event, I do not think that the Epstein et al. paper refutes, or— again contrary perhaps to appearances—even purports to refute the most plausible version of the “conventional wisdom” that the authors say they are challenging. I actually think the conventional wisdom is much closer to the view that Epstein et al. embrace—that Justices are systematically unpredictable—than it is to the view they reject. But whatever the conventional wisdom is, the most accurate account is more complex than either “they all change” or “they never change.” I think the best description is this: When a President has an agenda— when he appoints a Justice because he wants to influence the way the Court will decide a specific issue, or set of related issues—the President is hardly ever disappointed. Many of the Justices who supposedly disappointed the President who put them on the Court were not appointed primarily because of their views; they were appointed to pay off a political debt, or for electoral reasons of the kind Epstein et al. mention. But other examples of Justices who “changed” involve something more interesting. These are instances in which the Justices’ opinions did not change in any discernable" @default.
