The so-called “shadow docket” includes emergency appeals from parties who believe they would be irreparably harmed without quick intervention from the justices. Whereas cases arrive on the regular docket if at least four justices agree to take them up, anyone can try their hand at filing an emergency appeal. Most shadow-docket orders are unremarkable.
It has been a busy month in the penumbras. On August 12th, acting on her own, Justice Amy Coney Barrett rebuffed eight students who claimed Indiana University’s covid-19 vaccine requirement violated their constitutional rights. No explanation accompanied the denial. Two hours later, the court agreed to block part of New York state’s moratorium on evictions in response to a plea from a group of landlords.
Historically, though, the Supreme Court has adjudicated few matters of consequence in the shadows. That changed in 2017 when several policies of the Trump administration ran aground in lower courts.

‘Arbitrary and cruel’: Democrats excoriated Supreme Court decision on eviction moratoriumSix justices sided with a group representing landlords, who had argued that the CDC had no authority to impose such a restriction on its own. Wouldn't now be a good time to do something about enlarging the court? Biden was not bow his head in empathy. He got asked a question he could not answer from Peter Doocy. Biden wanted Doocy to agree with him that this was Trumps fault. When Doocy stood his ground. Biden wanted to go on a rant. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out

‘Anti-poor people bias’: States, cities face backlash over rental aid slowdownThe fight over renter protections is now largely a state and local problem after Thursday’s Supreme Court decision to halt the federal eviction ban. 'rental aid' is a weird way to spell 'letting people squat on properties after they didn't pay their bills with those stimulus checks or those insanely high unemployment checks and amazon and walmart basically doubled their profits for some odd reason i wonder how...' I think most people are getting tired of watching others easily milk the system while we have to work our ass off to put food on the table Evict everyone who doesn't pay their bills.

Supreme Court blocks Biden eviction moratorium in 6-3 decisionThe Supreme Court's conservative majority wrote that it 'strains credulity to believe' that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had legal authority to ban evictions. Because they don’t, even Biden knew they didn’t. Times up. Shits about to hit the fan I heard they are changing the name from “the Supreme Court” to “McConnell’s Republican Tool Shed” — three new tools neatly stacked and ready to be used for Republican agenda...

Supreme Court Blocks New Eviction MoratoriumThe action represents a legal blow against the ban the Biden administration imposed this month despite questions about its legality. I am all for helping people. However, The ban on evictions should never have lasted this long. It will only make the situation 1000x worst than it would have been if this were short term as intended. Sadly, I expect it will be horrible in some areas. What Kavanaugh said earlier
