Ilya Shapiro: Should Supreme Court Justices Rule Along Party Lines?

Ilya Shapiro joined host Ben Domenech to discuss the meaning and impact of recent Supreme Court decisions. Shapiro serves as the Director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, and he recently wrote a new book, "Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America's Highest Court."

Shapiro observed that Chief Justice John Roberts is trying to push back against the idea that all Supreme Court justices must vote along their own party lines. Roberts thinks that by acting strategically, he is legitimizing the court in many people's eyes. Shapiro argued, however, this tactic has garnered little respect for Roberts.
