Supreme Disorder
Book • 2022
In 'Supreme Disorder,' Ilya Shapiro explores the contentious history of Supreme Court nominations, highlighting how the process has become increasingly politicized.
Shapiro argues that the federal judiciary's deviation from the Constitution's original public meaning has contributed to the politicization of the courts, making judicial review less legitimate.
He discusses various proposals for reform, from term limits to court-packing, but concludes that no quick fix exists for the judicial system's crisis of legitimacy.
The book emphasizes the need to restore the Supreme Court’s legitimacy by ensuring it operates more in line with the original constitutional order.
