Whether engаging their cоlleаgues in cоnference оr thinking in their privаte chambers, justices to the Supreme Court are influenced by a range of factors when deciding winners and losers in cases. Such factors include how they view the role of the Supreme Court (i.e., judicial activism or restraint), their political ideology and political preferences (i.e., conservative or liberal), their personal background (i.e., race, gender, ethnicity, religion, parenthood, education, etc.), and the “court of public opinion.” Both Republicans (2017) and Democrats (2013) altered Senate rules to ban the use of the filibuster on nominations to the federal courts, meaning senators can no longer delay the confirmation process of federal judges to the bench. Fifty votes of support, with the Vice President casting the tie-breaking vote, are now enough.
