The Shadow Docket How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to

Description: The Shadow Docket Brand New Product InformationINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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.Product IdentifiersPublisherBasic BooksISBN-101541602633ISBN-139781541602632eBay Product ID (ePID)10057265870Product Key FeaturesBook TitleShadow Docket : How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the RepublicAuthorStephen VladeckFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicAmerican Government / Judicial Branch, Judicial Power, Trial Practice, General, Remedies & DamagesPublication Year2023GenreLaw, Political ScienceNumber of Pages352 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.8inItem Height1.3inItem Width6.4inItem Weight20 ozAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberKf8748.V53 2023
