Summary:
"An acclaimed legal scholar’s “essential” (Linda Greenhouse) exposé of the
Supreme
Court’s increasing use of unsigned, unexplained orders to change the law -- all behind closed doors. The
Supreme
Court
has always had the authority to issue emergency
rulings
in exceptional circumstances. But since 2017, the
Court
has dramatically expanded its use of the behind-the-scenes “shadow
docket
,” regularly making decisions that affect millions of Americans without public hearings and without explanation, through cryptic late-night
rulings
that leave lawyers -- and citizens -- scrambling. The Court’s conservative majority has used the
shadow
docket
to green-light restrictive voting laws and bans on abortion, and to curtail immigration and COVID vaccine mandates. But Americans of all political stripes should be worried about what the
shadow
docket
portends for the rule of law, argues
Supreme
Court
expert Stephen Vladeck. In this rigorous yet accessible book, he issues an urgent call to bring the
Court
back into the light."--Publisher.
