John —
By now I’m sure that you’ve heard the Supreme
Court allowed a Texas law to stand that bans abortion after six
weeks. That’s before most women know they’re pregnant, and
doesn’t include exceptions in the cases of rape or incest.
The law itself and the decision to let it stand
are both outrageous, but what’s just as concerning is the Court’s
use of a secretive process - the “shadow docket” to make this and
other sweeping decisions.
Each year the Court hears dozens of cases, with
transparent procedures for deciding them. But the Court
increasingly makes decisions without the scrutiny of oral
arguments and hearings. These rulings are part of the “shadow
docket”, which allowed the Texas law to activate and froze the
Biden administration’s eviction moratorium.
The growing influence of the shadow docket on the
Supreme Court concerns me, but I want to hear from you.Do you
think that the Supreme Court acting in secret via the shadow
docket is harming the transparency of the Supreme Court?
