      Further proof that the conservative justices are the activist wing of the court, not the liberals.

      I hope this story gains traction.

      So we can’t have climate protections because Roberts decided we can’t have climate protection as it would be too costly? Overruling Obama with the stroke of a pen. Using that same “self granted power” to prop up 20 of Trump’s unconstitutional orders? At what cost? Absolute hypocrisy?

      So Roberts and the SC are POTUS and they have that job for life? Ha. No kings? Seems like Roberts is king of America.

      Lower courts need to start ignoring unsigned Supreme Court rulings. If the justices aren’t signing off on them, they’re not rulings.

      How much does this matter?

      It should, don’t mistake my feelings about that, but it won’t because it’s too complex to break through and a significant number of Americans LIKE this sort of thing

      “Beating the libs”

      That’s all this is

      If enough jurors brought this article to jury summons as evidence why they reject the status quo of corrupted courts something might change. As long as citizens legitimize corruption by doing our part then nothing will change.

      I did this once in Los Angeles. The judge laughed. The prosecutor immediately dismissed me. The other jurors were baffled.

      Thomas Clarence is suing for a three wheel gold wing and a helicopter tour of plantation farms

      How long until these Emergency Docket decisions turn into AI slop 80 page opinions in an attempt to give them some extra credibility?

      Impeach these fucks.

      I mean, I *know,* but put in the work, still. Immortalize these motherfuckers and memorialize the corruption.

      Roberts was part of the Brooks Bros rebellion which gave us W. Beer O’Clock, Roberts, Gorsuch and Amy all clerked for conservative justices. Amy has the least experience of all the justices. Between these 4 and the POS that are alito & thomas there is no seriousness and they have worked to destroy the constitution through 1000 cuts

      I still don’t fully understand what a „shadow docket“ even is

      Are these justices just making rulings without having public hearings? How the F is that even legal???

      I kinda feel like we all knew all of this already, but it’s nice to have our suspicions confirmed.

      The abuse of the shadow docket allows the GOP justices to greatly expand Trump’s power without creating a precedent for a future Democratic president. A future Democratic POTUS won’t have an opinion to rely upon when he/she aggressively exercises executive power. That allows the GOP justices to limit the power of the presidency when a Democrat is in the White House. It’s pretty cynical.

      Here’s a [gift link](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/us/politics/supreme-court-shadow-docket.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b1A.D1v-.1yLSMchz1zgB&smid=nytcore-ios-share) to the actual NYT article that is the basis for this Daily Beast post.

      Worth reading the original:

      >The papers expose what critics have called the weakness at the heart of the shadow docket: an absence of the kind of rigorous debate that the justices devote to their normal cases.

      >Rulings with no explanation or reasoning, like the sparse paragraph from that February night, have become routine. The emergency docket is now a central legacy of the court led by Chief Justice Roberts.

      Well now, right when the Dems are about to have the House and (fingers crossed) the Senate?

      House for investigations with subpoena power you say?

      And the Senate (maybe) with the power to have trials? Golly.

      Oh no what-ever shall they do, I am sure they are so worried right now for real for real
