In Courthouse Democracy and Minority Rights: Same-Sex Marriage in
the States, Robert J. Hume examines how the democratization of
state courts and state constitutional systems has influenced the
capacity of judges to protect minority rights. Through an intensive
examination of same-sex marriage policy, Hume shows that democratic
innovations like judicial elections and initiative amendment
procedures have conditioned the impact of judges on state marriage
laws. Using a combination of original and publicly available data,
Hume demonstrates that "courthouse democracy" has influenced the
behavior of state judges, the reactions of the public to state
court decisions, and the long-term policy consequences of these
decisions, including the passage of state constitutional
amendments. Hume concludes that judges will be capable of producing
meaningful social change-and protecting minority rights-only when
they have the institutional resources that they need to stand
against popular opinion.
