The U.S. Supreme Court is as important as ever in the lives of
Americans. Contrary to the image-enhancing claims of independence
that many of its members claim, however, the Court's current
supermajority has transformed it into a powerful political
institution that wages ideological war meant to return the nation
to a previous period, at the same time denying rights to millions.
The "Stench" of Politics: Polarization and Worldview on the Supreme
Court opens a window into the Supreme Court that helps us to
understand the institution and its rulings. At the heart of this
analysis is worldview, a phenomenon that every person, including
Supreme Court justices, possesses. Whether someone's worldview is
"fixed" or "fluid" affects who they are, what they believe and what
they do. In addition, interpreting the Constitution as an
"originalist" or "living constitutionalist" often dictates case
outcomes. By applying these and other constructs to the Supreme
Court, the book reveals how the once-revered institution has
evolved into one whose majority not only has neglected its
commitment to the inscription on its own building, "Equal Justice
Under Law," but is also determined to remake both the law and the
nation.
