The Era of Political Partisanship on the U.S. Supreme Court
challenges conventional notions of consensus-building and neutral
decision-making on the U.S. Supreme Court and argues that the
justices vote their partisan preferences on election law cases. By
focusing specifically on election law, Rebe reveals a consistent
pattern of partisanship on the Court. The findings controvert
popular perceptions of non-biased decision-making and fundamental
fairness. The aggregate analysis shows that the justices vote along
party-lines in a majority of election law cases, and
consensus-building is rare when there is a contentious electoral
issue at stake. Moreover, these decisions often conflict with
principles of stare decisis, originalism, or judicial restraint.
The topics covered include: gerrymandering, campaign finance, voter
ID laws, and mail-in voting, among others. Rebe also conducts a
content analysis of the most controversial election law cases of
the past twenty years, such as: Vieth v. Jubelirer, Crawford v.
Marion County, Citizens United v. FEC, and Shelby County v. Holder.
This book provides a thorough overview of two decades of election
law cases and sheds light on the impact these decisions have had on
remaking America's electoral institutions.
