⚖ Behind Closed Doors: The Supreme Court’s Controversial ‘Shadow Docket’ | Full Report
Major rulings. No arguments. No explanation. The highest court in the land is facing growing backlash over decisions made in the dark.

In this investigative deep dive, we uncover the rising use of the U.S. Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” — a fast-tracked legal process that allows the Court to issue emergency rulings on major issues without full briefing, oral arguments, or signed opinions.

🕵 What’s Covered:
• What the shadow docket is — and why it matters
• Key cases ruled on via shadow docket:
  - Texas abortion law (SB8)
  - EPA emissions limits
  - Immigration and voting rights
• Legal and public backlash against opaque decision-making
• A spike in shadow docket use since 2017
• Quotes from Justice Kagan, Chief Justice Roberts, and legal scholars
• Reform proposals gaining traction in Congress

📉 Public confidence in the Court has hit a historic low — just 37%.
📢 Critics argue the shadow docket undermines transparency, public trust, and the very legitimacy of the Court.

🎙 Harvard Law: “This invites politicization. It erodes trust.”
🎙 Justice Kagan: “Unreasoned, inconsistent, and impossible to defend.”

📌 Is it time for judicial reform?
📌 Should emergency rulings be published with full opinions?
📌 Can the Court remain credible without accountability?
