Summary:
"The Supreme Court has always had the authority to issue emergency ruling, but, until recently, it did so only in exceptional circumstances. Yet in the past decade, the court has dramatically expanded its use of the behind-the-scenes shadow docket, regularly handing down major decisions that affect millions of Americans through unsigned, unexplained, and often late-night rulings that leave lawyers--and citizens--scrambling. In The Shadow Docket, acclaimed legal scholar Steve Vladeck exposes the Supreme Court's increasing use of unsigned, unexplained orders to change the law--all behind closed doors. The Court's conservative majority has used the shadow docket to green-light restrictive voting laws and bans abortion, and to curtail immigration and COVID-vaccine mandates. But the shadow docket isn't just a partisan issue, and Vladeck makes the case that Americans of all political stripes should be worried about what the increasing use of the shadow docket portends for the rule of law. Rigorous yet accessible, The Shadow Docket uncovers a disturbing institutional crisis that threatens the foundations of our democracy--and issues an urgent call to bring the Court's decision-making processes back into the light."-- Publisher.
