But although the Framers would recognize the way justices are nominated and confirmed today, something is different. Why have appointments to the high court become one of the most explosive features of our system of government? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Ilya Shapiro makes clear in \u003ci\u003eSupreme Disorder\u003c\/i\u003e, this problem is part of a larger phenomenon. As government has grown, its laws reaching even further into our lives, the courts that interpret those laws have become enormously powerful. If we fight over each new appointment as though everything were at stake, it's because it is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When decades of constitutional corruption have left us subject to an all-powerful tribunal, passions are sure to flare on the infrequent occasions when the political system has an opportunity to shape it. And so we find the process of judicial appointments verging on dysfunction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shapiro weighs the many proposals for reform, from the modest (term limits) to the radical (court-packing), but shows that there can be no quick fix for a judicial system suffering a crisis of legitimacy. And in the end, the only measure of the Court's legitimacy that matters is the extent to which it maintains, or rebalances, our constitutional order.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlya Shapiro is a senior fellow and director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute.
