Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court - Season 1 Episode 3 The Rule of Five ()

Gore divides the nation and challenges the perception that the Court operates independently from partisan politics. With George W. Bush’s nominees and his chance to dramatically shift the balance, the Supreme Court enters a new era of ideological polarization.
