More Shadow Docket Fun

SCOTUS Talk: After Gorsuch had his secret Federalist Society moment over the weekend, other accounts talked about other members of the current 6-3 majority. There is Barrett, who might be the proper name of this Court. And, more on Justice Thomas, including his relationship with a possible 2024 Republican nominee.

Voting Rights: But, the Barrett Court didn't want to let a mid-winter break interfere with their "I want it now, daddy!" (chocolate factory reference) energy. With Chief Justice Roberts again dissenting, willing to play the long game, we had a 5-4 stay of court of appeals ruling blocking an Alabama redistricting case. Not good voting news-wise.

Three judges just stayed the ruling. Kavanaugh (with Alito) said it was proper given it is an election year. Which is b.s. Roberts dissented, saying he'd wait to change the law. Kagan for the liberals dissented, liking the law, and schooling Kavanaugh a bit too.
