The Political Ideologies of Law Clerks and their Judges Adam Bonica, Adam Chilton, Jacob Goldin, Kyle Rozema, & Maya Sen∗ February 29, 2016 We study the political ideology of judicial law clerks using a novel dataset that combines the most comprehensive data sources on political ideology and the identity of U.S. federal law clerks. First, we examine the distribu- tion of clerks' ideology and find that clerks tend to be disproportionately liberal, with clerks on lower courts being more liberal on average than clerks for higher courts. Second, we find that judges tend to consistently hire clerks with similar ideologies and that those ideologies track available measures of the judge's own ideology. -

[*2] Introduction Immediately following President Obama's nomination of then-Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court, critics branded her a "judicial activist" n1 who would work without regard to the "rule of law." n2 Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay contended that President Obama "couldn't have appointed a more activist judge" and that Sotomayor's activism made her unqualified for a seat on the Court. n3 Karl Rove said the Republicans could win the bat- tle against Sotomayor by "making a clear case against the judicial activism she represents." n4 On the first day of Sotomayor's confirmation hearings, Senator Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, proclaimed her to be an "activist judge that threatens the traditional foundation of the U.S. -

Southwick* INTRODUCTION Where are we, and how did we get here? Those are not bad questions for seeking a way out of any troubled situa- tion, or for that matter, remaining in a good one. Over recent decades, fed- eral judicial selection controversies are worsening in their frequency and intensity. They distort all three branches of government. My particular con- cern is with federal judicial selection for judgeships below the Olympian heights of those on the United States Supreme Court, namely, the judges on the twelve regional circuit courts of appeals and the ninety-four district courts. The depth of partisan acrimony over judicial confirmations has placed us in the infernal regions, and we seem to be continuing our descent. -
