Supreme Court signals it's feeling the heat amid backlash to 'shadow docket' rulings [View all]

The Supreme Court has started showing signs that justices are aware of the growing public frustration around its shadow docket, a New York Times reporter said Wednesday.

Jodi Kantor, a Times investigative reporter, told MS NOW's Katy Tur that mounting criticism of the conservative majority's court and its recent decisions — which sometimes have just one sentence — has revealed a shifting tone among the justices.

In her recent book, Justice Amy Coney Barrett acknowledged that the court sometimes doesn’t explain itself “because it doesn't feel ready to commit to reasoning,” Kantor said.
