Supreme Court opens along partisan lines, says McConnell Center Fellow
April 7, 2026Dr. Barbara Perry, a senior fellow at the University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs and a non-resident Fellow at the McConnell Center, comments on the new make-up of the U.S. Supreme Court.
"I think rarely in the 20th century was there so obviously a partisan and ideological split on the court," said Barbara Perry, senior fellow at the University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs and a scholar who has studied the court. "There will be five appointees by Republicans who are very conservative or at least moderately conservative and four Democratic appointees who are liberal or moderate liberals."
