Dear Senator / Representative -
I am very upset about the speed with which the Supreme Court ruled on the Alabama case, and I want you to draft legislation to reform the shadow docket process. The shadow docket should not exist.
At 5:38 p.m. on Monday of last week, the Supreme Court issued a shadow docket ruling allowing Alabama to redraw its congressional maps in a way that dilutes Black voting power. That was 38 minutes after the opposing parties filed their response briefs.
So the nine Supreme Court Justices sat with 107 pages of briefs, read every sentence attentively, weighed the arguments of each against Alabama's motion, reached a consensus among six of the nine justices, issued an order and a dissent all in 38 minutes?
The ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct instructs judges to "accord to every person who has a legal interest in a proceeding, or that person's lawyer, the right to be heard according to law." Note that this is not merely the right to speak at a hearing — it is the right to be heard.The judicial system functions only when litigants and the public believe they are receiving a fair hearing.
The shadow docket is not a fair hearing. Please legislate the end of the ability of the Supreme Court to use the shadow docket.

Can the #supremecourt itself be sued for misuse of the #ShadowDocket , specifically its failure to meet the threshold of demonstrable “irreparable harm” to the petitioner? (In cases of #trump admin seeking shadow docket blessing or reprieve, refusal would typically be continued status quo, not loss.)
#scotus would rule for itself, were the matter brought, but the intellectual seed would be planted, and could even serve as grounds to remove justices who have abused the doctrine.

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.

Considered the beginning of the #RWNJ #ShadowDocket as court preemptively inserts itself to shape #American future on matters favoring #coal, banning #abortion and “marks the birth of a ... secretive track that the #SupremeCourt has since used to make many major decisions, including granting #PresidentTrump more than 20 key victories on issues from #immigration to agency power.”
