Abstract

Identity politics leads to individuals making political decisions to help those most similar to them. This leads to underlying bias towards those in your racial and socioeconomic group. The Supreme Court has been notorious for a lack of diversity on the bench. I will explore the consequences of this and how it has resulted in withdrawing civil rights away from certain groups.
