New work with Chris Krewson and Miles Armaly! We show that (1) nominee support (via shared presidential partisanship) has significant downstream effects on SCOTUS approval, and (2) it is enduring, lasting long after the confirmation process journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

SLAY!!!! We love this piece! "280 Characters of Contention: Analyzing Partisan Behavior on Twitter During Supreme Court Confirmation Processes" by Maron W. Sorenson, @rachaelhouston.bsky.social & Amanda Savage. Now out at Journal of Law and Courts. t.co/bmbLle1qfY #polisky
Abstract
We analyze a cache of tweets from partisan users concerning the confirmation hearings of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Using these original data, we investigate how Twitter users with partisan leanings interact with judicial nominations and confirmations. We find that these users tend to exhibit behavior consistent with offline partisan dynamics. Our analysis reveals that Democrats and Republicans express distinct emotional responses based on the alignment of nominees with their respective parties. Additionally, our study highlights the active participation of partisans in promoting politically charged topics throughout the confirmation process, starting from the vacancy stage.
