Summary
And, over the last decade, the Supreme Court has increasingly leveraged its emergency or "shadow" docket to issue orders that have sweeping implications — but the approach is much less transparent than the usual judicial process.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, economics correspondent David Gura, legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg, and congressional reporter Barbara Sprunt.
The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
