Replication data for: Issue Fluidity on the U.S. Supreme Court

What accounts for these forms of issue fluidity? Analyzing data from the 1988 term of the Court, we find that issue transformation is quite common, occurring in roughly half of the cases on the plenary agenda.

We propose models of both issue discovery and issue suppression that, while successful in explaining how the justices select issues, suggests that these two forms of fluidity result from largely different influences.
