Answer 1

Political scientists have generally found that justices' decisions are most closely tied to their political ideologies.

It is a frequent misconception that Supreme Court justices' voting decisions primarily reflect their beliefs, principles, or personal policy preferences.

However, this supposition has never been sufficiently verified using objective assessments of the ideological beliefs of the justices, that is, assessments that are not based on their votes on the Court.

We derive independent and trustworthy measures of the values of every Supreme Court justice from Earl Warren to Anthony Kennedy using content analytic approaches.

The attitudinal paradigm is firmly supported by the close correlation between these values and the justices' votes.
