Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket." This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

The Roberts Court is an extension of the Trump administration at this point and—let’s be real—its corrupt decisions are not law. They have the force of law, for now, but they are not law. They are made up. Laws derive their authority from the people, and this is an unelected minoritarian Court.
