INSANE: Looking for partisan patterns in the shadow docket | Rare Historical Photos

In today's New York Times, Adam Liptak takes a look at the "sharp partisan divides" on the Supreme Court's "emergency docket" (aka the "shadow docket" or "interim docket").

The story notes that the Trump Administration has sought emergency or interim relief more often than did the Biden Administration, and has had more success--prevailing in 84 percent of such cases compared to 53 percent during the Biden Administration. "That is perhaps unsurprising, given that the court is dominated by six Republican appointees," Liptak writes.

The story notes that there appears to be an ideological or partisan pattern in the justices votes on such orders.
