>"Read the Supreme Court’s Shadow Papers" [Actual NYT Headline]
>"In 2016, the Supreme Court halted an ambitious climate change initiative from President Barack Obama by a 5-to-4 vote along partisan lines. Its order was just one paragraph long and a stark departure from how the court typically handled major cases. Many scholars believe this case marked the birth of the court’s modern “shadow docket,” or the rushed and secretive track the Supreme Court has since used to make many major decisions, including on crucial questions of presidential power.
>The New York Times has obtained memos from that case and is publishing those papers in full to bring the origins of the Supreme Court’s shadow docket into the light."
