Judging the judges: Scandals have the potential to affect the legitimacy of judges – and possibly the federal judiciary, too

In 1991, during his confirmation hearings in the Senate, Thomas faced accusations of sexual harassment from a former colleague and law school professor, Anita Hill.

Key Points:

In 1991, during his confirmation hearings in the Senate, Thomas faced accusations of sexual harassment from a former colleague and law school professor, Anita Hill.
More recently, Thomas’ personal relationship with a real estate billionaire, Republican donor Harlan Crow, has come under scrutiny.
As political science professors, we study how scandals and other phenomena affect public support for the Supreme Court.
And as legitimacy diminishes, judges are likely to face increased public scrutiny for their policy decisions.

Judicial scandals different from political scandals

These range from Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual assault to a controversial real estate sale involving Justice Neil Gorsuch.
In fact, Congress has moved to impeach lower court federal judges in only the most extreme circumstances.
To date, no Supreme Court justice has been impeached and removed from office, although Samuel Chase was impeached in 1801 but ultimately acquitted in the Senate.

Public opinion and federal court legitimacy

The Supreme Court historically has a deep reservoir of goodwill among the public.
Yet the federal judiciary faces threats to its legitimacy across all levels, from the Supreme Court to district courts.
Studies also suggest that the public views the Supreme Court less favorably when the court is perceived as politically distant from one’s own partisan preferences.

Punishment for scandals

Our research, which predates the recent media reports on Thomas, looks at whether scandals meaningfully diminish citizen support for members of the judiciary, and the court as an institution.
Relying on multiple survey experiments, we examined the effect of varying scandals – ethical, financial and sexual – among hypothetical Supreme Court nominees and hypothetical sitting lower court judges.
Notably, however, scandals did not harm the public’s perceptions of the federal courts’ legitimacy.
This suggests that while the public holds judges associated with scandal in low regard, the negative effects of individual scandals do not permeate the institution of the courts.

“Dear Mama,” the documentary series, narrates the ins and outs of the relationship he had with his mother.
“Dear Mama,” the song, was released in 1995, the year before the rapper was murdered in Las Vegas.

Sounds across generations

Tupac’s autobiographic ode to his mother showcases the rapper’s storytelling ability with vivid and vulnerable details of their shared struggles and battles.
He intones to his “Black Queen, Mama,” and offers variations of “There’s no way I can pay you back / but my plan is to show you that I understand.
Below are some of my other favorite rap songs with lyrics devoted to mothers, grandmothers, aunts and other mother figures who raised the artists through the struggles they faced.
In most cases, they narrate their activities as a way to achieve a version of the American Dream, which in many cases includes securing a better standard of living for their mothers.
Tupac himself did this in “Dear Mama” when he wrote: “I ain’t guilty, ‘cause even though I sell rocks / it feels good putting money in your mailbox.
/ Exaggerating a little bit so she’d get the point / Trying to get her to stop smoking.
/ See her in the kitchen cooking fish or chicken depending / on what day it is.
