Here's what the Supreme Court is doing behind closed doors

The nine justices hear arguments and issue signed rulings in about 70 cases each annual term. But that constitutes only part of their work. In an oak-paneled conference room just off the chambers of Chief Justice John Roberts, they cull through an estimated 7,000 petitions annually from people who have lost cases in lower courts. They also rule on motions to intervene in lower court proceedings, most consequentially related to scheduled executions.

Supreme Court debates allowing citizenship question 02:03Roberts sets the agenda and begins the discussion. The other justices then speak in order of seniority. For most cases, the justices' first impression is set by a memo produced by a pool of law clerks. Seven justices have their clerks join forces to screen the"petitions for certiorari," as appeals are formally called, to determine which ones should be accepted for oral argument and full review.

Rare question from Justice Thomas in jury selection case 01:57The more recent string of contentious capital disputes began with a February 7 case from Alabama. A five-justice majority led by Roberts rejected a Muslim prisoner's request to have an imam with him in the death chamber. The justices in the majority issued a simple two-sentence order letting the execution of Domineque Ray go forward without an imam at his side.

Supreme Court Reveals Deep Divisions on 2020 Census Citizenship QuestionThe Supreme Court appeared deeply divided on whether the Trump administration can ask U.S. residents on the 2020 census whether they are citizens. seems like a basic question. Why wouldn’t a country have the right to know if the people living there are citizens or not? Seems like a very reasonable question to me. There is no divide. Are you Republican, or are you a Democrat? That's all you need to know to vote. Party first. That is their solemn oath.
