The shadow docket with Steve Vladeck
Since 2017, the Supreme Court has significantly increased its use of the process by which the justices hear and resolves emergency appeals, sometimes known as the shadow docket. These decisions are made without oral argument and often come in short unsigned orders. Stephen Vladeck, the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at the University of Texas School of Law, has closely tracked that change and its impact on the court as an institution in recent years. Vladeck joins Amy to discuss his new book The Shadow Docket.
We are taking a hiatus from our regularly scheduled episodes this spring. We hope to be back soon.

Section 230 and the internet
In the first week of the February session, the justices heard oral arguments in two cases about the scoop of liability tech companies may face for user content. Amy is joined by Megan Iorio of the Electronic Privacy Information Center to break down those arguments in Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh. EPIC filed an amicus brief in Gonzalez in support of neither party.

What’s going on with Munsingwear?
In an essay published in The New York Times this fall, two law professors, Lisa Tucker and Stefanie Lindquist, argued that the Supreme Court is increasingly setting aside significant decisions from the lower courts as if they never happened. The court is invalidating these decisions in brief procedural orders under what’s known as “Munsingwear vacatur.” Amy sits down with Tucker and Lindquist to hear more about the trend.

Great listening format for those who love all things SCOTUS
The best!
Such a great resource on SCOTUS news. Really informative and engaging. I love it!
Barely understand and often fail to articulate the law in question
I’m a follower of the Court, read rulings and amici briefings, and followed this show in hopes of getting an even-handed view of the subjects. You won’t find it here.
For example, in the EPA v. West Virginia, they did not even discuss the central basis for the decision, which is that the law as passed by Congress did not support the actions that the EPA was taking, until the last minute. It’s insane and misleading to evaluate the decision without focussing on this central issue, just adding it as an asterisk at the end of the show.
If the power rests in the people, as expressed through their representatives in Congress, and Congress did not pass the law, on what basis was the administrative state acting? By fiat? As a dictator? The Court exists in part as a guard against abuses of power such as this, and to not even discuss this central question, is to do a disservice to the listeners.
You’re better off reading the rulings and briefings themselves, or the syllabi.
