Justicesâ Values
There is considerable room for disagreement about the impact of the law on decision making in the Supreme Court, but it is clear that legal considerations do not fully explain the Courtâs decisions. The positions of individual justices and of the Court as a whole have other bases as well.
Of those other bases for choice, the one that appears to have the greatest impact is the justicesâ own values. And of those values, justicesâ policy preferences are the most powerful, because justices typically hold strong views about most of the policy issues that are bound up in cases. The impact of policy preferences on decisions is widely recognized. That recognition is reflected in the attention that participants in the selection of justices give to the policy views of potential and actual nominees to the Court. It is also reflected in commentaries on the Court, which regularly emphasize the justicesâ policy preferences as a basis for their votes and opinions.
Justices might act consciously to reach decisions that accord with their policy preferences.
