Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: A thorough examination of Justice Anthony Kennedy's judicial behavior should provoke more systematic thinking about a key concept that pervades many discussions of Court-namely, the concept of a "swing voter". In this paper we argue that past understandings of the "swing voter" concept miss essential aspects of certain justices' decisionmaking philosophies, usually because they tend to examine voting behavior at too high a level of generality. By examining a more focused areas of legal policymaking (e.g. free speech cases) for Anthony Kennedy, we find that the justice's more "normal" predilections (i.e. conservatism) give way to other driving forces, producing outcomes at odds with expectations of how Justice Kennedy normally votes.
