Leaked Memos Reveal Just How Much the Supreme Court Has Betrayed the Constitution

Summary: Recently leaked memos show that the Supreme Court uses a secret "shadow docket" to make huge decisions without normal open debates. It all started in 2016 when Chief Justice John Roberts rushed to block President Obama's clean energy plan. Usually, the court takes its time to hear arguments. But Roberts pushed to stop the plan quickly because he worried it would cost power companies too much money. Other justices warned him this was highly unusual, but he ignored them. Since then, this fast-track method has become a favorite tool for the court's conservative majority to quietly kill policies they dislike and pass major rulings in secret.
