Description

Legal journalist Cristian Farias joins Court Accountability’s Mike Sacks to discuss how Justice Amy Coney Barrett is telling her book tour audiences that we are not in a constitutional crisis—even as she repeatedly votes with the Roberts majority to green-light Trump’s anti-constitutional regime on the shadow docket. But Barrett’s words clash with her actions. On the Court’s emergency docket, she has consistently sided with Chief Justice Roberts’ majority to approve Trump’s most extreme moves—often without explanation. That contradiction grew sharper yesterday, when the Supreme Court’s shadow docket lifted limits on ICE, allowing federal agents in Los Angeles to target immigrants based on race, language, or occupation—effectively green-lighting discrimination in violation of the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Farias and Sacks unpack how Barrett’s public “no crisis” reassurance stands in stark contrast to the Court’s quiet but powerful decisions—decisions that are reshaping constitutional rights and emboldening Trump’s agenda under the cover of procedural shortcuts.

SCROTUS job is to rule on lawsuits when there are Constitutional questions. Their ruling goes against the Constitution, FFS! Worst Supreme Court ever.

Supreme Court reform is long overdue. Three things must be done as quickly as possible: ethics standards, judicial oversight, and term limits.

If this USSC do not think that we are in a constitutional crisis, then it’s time to step out of their ivory towers. Shadow docket needs to go.
