Supremely Partisan by James D. Zirin

In Supremely Partisan, attorney James D. Zirin’s argues that the Supreme Court has become overly partisan and is currently unfairly making decisions for each case they consider. These rulings, to Zirin, are unfounded, for they’re not based on the Constitution or laws already put in place. Taking it one step further than just arguing for a better system, Zirin provides insight into how we got to this flawed system in the first place. Zirin looks at the Supreme Court divide through the study of Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, on the left, and Clarence Thomas and the recently deceased Antonin Scalia on the right. To provide a comprehensive case for his argument, Zirin pays close attention to four monumental Supreme Court decisions that have forever changed history: Hobby Lobby, Obamacare, gay marriage, and capital punishment. Ultimately, Zirin advocates for a Supreme Court that makes justified decisions and puts an end to the groundless rulings that have made so many Americans lose faith in the judicial system.

A graduate of Princeton University, James D. Zirin is a well-known attorney in both federal and state courts around the country. When he’s not in the courtroom, Zirin can be found hosting his television talk show Conversations in the Digital Age.
