Abstract:

From 1980 to 2000, the Supreme Court made a number of key rulings that touched on matters of race, including employment law, affirmative action, racial redistricting, and discrimination within the criminal justice system. In most of these cases, the Court took a more conservative tack towards racial matters, reflecting the increasingly conservative bent of the Court. The change in the Court, from the most liberal national institution on race from 1954-1976 (with the possible exception of 1963-68 when LBJ was in the White House), to the most conservative from 1992-2000 (with the possible exception of Congress during the 1994 Republican Revolution) , was quite dramatic. This paper examines whether support among whites for the Court was affected by the shift. In the deepest sense, does the American public follow broad changes in the Court's fundamental outlook on one of the most enduring issues in American politics?
