  2. It’s time for the court to close the “shadow docket” and return to its historic reliance on step-by-step judicial processes that ensure full deliberation and the kind of principled, transparent reasoning the public needs to see if it is going to trust the court going forward.

  6. In the #Trump era, #JohnRoberts & the other conservative justices have repeatedly empowered the president through their #ShadowDocket rulings. By contrast, the papers reveal a court wielding those same powers to block #Obama. Justice Samuel A. #Alito Jr. warned that if the court failed to stop the president, its own “institutional legitimacy” would be threatened.

  7. At the time, the ruling seemed like a curious one-off. But that single paragraph turned out to be a sharp & lasting break. That night marks the birth, many legal experts believe, of the court’s modern “#ShadowDocket,” the secretive track that #SCOTUS6 has since used to make many major decisions, including granting #Trump more than 20 key victories on issues from immigration to agency power.

  8. Check this guy's credits, he's the real deal. "We’re not just in a constitutional crisis. We’re in a corruption crisis. And the Supreme Court isn’t the solution. It’s the heart of the problem."
    Gives steps, how to fight: 1) Stop calling SCOTUS neutral, or thinking they'll save us. 2) Stop calling Tr^mp judges conservative. 3) Tell #Congress to fight.

  9. That emergency docket [aka #ShadowDocket], a growing part of #SCOTUS’ work in recent years, has taken on greater importance amid the flood of litigation challenging #Trump’s efforts to *expand* [consolidate] #ExecutivePower.

    While the orders are technically temporary, they have had broad practical effects, allowing the admin to #deport tens of thousands of people, discharge #transgender #military service members, fire thousands of #FederalWorkers & slash federal #funding.
