We like to think that the Supreme Court is non-political in its decision-making, but the numbers say otherwise. Lee Epstein joins us to explain how data can illustrate where a Supreme Court nominee falls on the ideological scale.
We like to think that the Supreme Court is non-political in its decision-making, but the numbers say otherwise. Lee Epstein joins us to explain how data can illustrate where a Supreme Court nominee falls on the ideological scale.

Just how political are Supreme Court justices, and what can we learn from data? In this episode, the latest installment of our "Good Behaviour" series, we talk with Professor Lee Epstein of Washington University in St. Louis, the leading expert on the empirical analysis of the Supreme Court. She helps us think through Justice Kennedy's legacy, what his retirement means for Chief Justice Roberts, and how his replacement might change the law.
