Requires the Supreme Court to explain its emergency decisions and show how justices voted.
This bill would make the Supreme Court publish written explanations for its emergency orders and show how each justice voted. This aims to give the public and those involved in cases a clearer understanding of these quick decisions. It brings more transparency to a part of the Court's work often called the "shadow docket."
Today, the Supreme Court is not legally required to provide written explanations or disclose individual justice votes for its emergency orders, often called the "shadow docket." If this bill becomes law, the Court would have to publish detailed explanations for these decisions and show how each justice voted.
