The texas abortion decision did, which was very much not in line with how lower courts and the supreme court itself generally handle these kinds of injunctions in the past, and so i think that youre seeing a defense mounted of what the supreme court is doing what the shadow docket, but its very much a question thats valid to raise whether this is out of line with what the supreme court generally does. >> claire, i want to ask you about chief justice roberts. i mean, i want to read some reporting...

Roe v. wade the landmark case plainly wrong and lamented that the second amendment has become a disfavored right. the court will wade into the culture wars on both issues before 2021 concludes, with arguments on a new york gun law restricting people carrying guns in public in november and arguments on a mississippi law banning most abortions after weeks, a direct challenge to roe v. wade on december 1st. fractures in full view with stinging dissents from the liberal leaning justs after five cons...

About this trend. >> i want to bring up this notion that alito brought up in this speech that he was talking about this shadow docket and referring to something that kagan mentioned on her dissent on the texas abortion case. you testified at a senate hearing this past week about the shadow docket. help us understand what it is and why it may be a concern. >> yeah. so its really not meant to be a pejorative tern. its about the obscurity of these rulings. the notion is that were seeing more and mo...
