In 2010, Professor Jason Mazzone co-authored a paper published in the Hastings Law Journal, titled "The Case for Returning Politicians to the Supreme Court." Mazzone and his co-author wrote, "The nation has lost one kind of Justice who was very nearly a constant on the Court for 170 years: the politician who joins the Court after distinguished and prominent service in public life."
The paper was recently referenced in an article in the Washington Monthly, where the author advocates for President Joe Biden to nominate a Black female politician to the Supreme Court.
