Supreme Court nominations may start with a presumption of success (Krutz et al., 1998), but that does not stop confirmation hearings from being contentious affairs, especially in recent years (Caldeira & Smith, 1996; Maltese, 1995). With potentially long time horizons on the Court ahead of the nominees, senators grill them about their approach to jurisprudence and their stances on the most controversial issues of the day. Since C-SPAN coverage of these hearings began in 1981, they also offer senators the opportunity to score political points with their base (Farganis & Wedeking, 2014), potentially positioning themselves for reelection success or television coverage.
