The "shadow docket" lets the Supreme Court issue emergency rulings with little to no explanation.

This docket is being misused. We deserve to know why and how the justices make decisions. https://t.co/K4Zqzxn1II

Strange that we don’t like enlarging institutions despite the country’s growth. Whatever the politics of raising the number of SC Justices, with a pop. of near 4 million in 1790, we had 6. Now with 350 m. we have 9 with 13 Circuits. Why not a Justice for each circuit? https://t.co/9r6JLXtlFO
