Supremely Partisan: How Raw Politics Tips the Scales in the United States Supreme Court is a non-fiction book by James D. Zirin published by Rowman & Littlefield on September 15, 2016.[1] In the book, Zirin argues that the Supreme Court has become dangerously partisan.[2]
Thesis
According to Supreme Court correspondent Dahlia Lithwick, Zirin argues persuasively that "the current (2016) court is as dangerously partisan as it can be, asserting that it is “a court of law in many cases, and a political court in many others, with 5–4 decisions laced with ideology, a partisan divide, and diminished public confidence in the court’s legitimacy as the final interpreter of the law of the land.'"[2]
Reviews
- Dominic Sandbrook at The Times said, "Every day that the nine Justices take the bench, notes James D Zirin at the beginning of his brisk and spirited book, each shakes hands with his or her eight colleagues, a traditional gesture designed to show the “shared purpose” of American justice."[3]
- Michael Beloff with The Spectator wrote, "In this provocative polemic he uses skills developed both from behind the bar and in front of the camera to mount the charge that the US Supreme Court is a political court."[4]
- Liane Jackson from the ABA Journal made clear that her opinion was, "Zirin’s book is particularly timely and thought-provoking, whether or not you agree with his premise."[5]
