But since 2017, the Court has dramatically expanded its use of the behind-the-scenes \"shadow docket,\" regularly making decisions that affect millions of Americans without public hearings and without explanation, through cryptic late-night rulings that leave lawyers--and citizens--scrambling.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Court's conservative majority has used the shadow docket to green-light restrictive voting laws and bans on abortion, and to curtail immigration and COVID vaccine mandates. But Americans of all political stripes should be worried about what the shadow docket portends for the rule of law, argues Supreme Court expert Stephen Vladeck. In this rigorous yet accessible book, he issues an urgent call to bring the Court back into the light.

By \"vibes,\" Litman means legal-ish claims that repackage the politics of conservative grievance and dress them up in robes.
