Join us for an exclusive opportunity to hear from Ilya Shapiro, director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, for a discussion on the politicization of the Supreme Court and the battles over nominations and confirmations to the court. This will be an extremely timely discussion from a longtime professor and advisor to TFAS’s Summer Law Fellowship.  Shapiro will share with us the ideas from his just released book, “Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America’s Highest Court” which are certain to offer us all great insight into the ongoing battle over the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett.  He will take us inside the unknown history of fiercely partisan judicial nominations and explores reform proposals that could return the Supreme Court to its proper constitutional role. Confirmation battles over justices will only become more toxic and unhinged as long as the Court continues to ratify the excesses of the other two branches of government and the parties that control them.
