The Shadow Docket: Supreme Court Decisions That Shape America
In recent years, the Supreme Court of the United States has issued decisions that have altered the course of American life and politics.
Carolyn Shapiro joins host Matt Adams to take a look at some of these compelling cases. A former Illinois Solicitor General, Carolyn is now a professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law, where she founded and co-directs the Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Together, Carolyn and Matt dig into the decisions that have recalibrated the separation of powers framework laid out in the Constitution. They also define the court’s “shadow docket,” tracing its evolution over the past 15 years and the criticisms it now faces.
