More about the book

Focusing on the retirement decisions of Supreme Court justices, this book examines how these choices have become more partisan over time. Since 1954, justices have strategically retired when aligned with the sitting president, often remaining in their roles longer than their effectiveness allows. The author discusses the implications of various reform proposals, ultimately advocating for mandatory retirement as a means to reduce partisanship and safeguard the integrity of the Court.
