Abstract:

This paper looks to expand Supreme Court confidence literature by looking at the effect Supreme Court nominees have on confidence in the Court. Previous confidence literature has looked at the impact of Court decisions, approval of other branches, and political events on confidence. Taking this research further, this paper investigates Supreme Court nominations and what effect they have on confidence in the Court. Furthermore, this analysis looks at the individual nominees, and what characteristics of these nominees propel the changes in confidence. The findings show that controversial nominees have a negative impact on confidence in the Court and consistent with previous literature, ideology of the nominee and ideological change in the Court plays a large role in confidence in the Court as a whole.
