1/ I looked at 20 years of Supreme Court decisions and found that for the first time, all nine justices decided more cases by secret ballot — aka the “shadow docket” — than it did for cases argued in open court last term. 🧵:

A line chart shows the number of Supreme Court decisions on the merits docket versus the shadow docket from the 2003-04 term to the 2024-25 term. The merits docket decisions trend downward over time, ending at 56 decisions, while the shadow docket decisions rise sharply in the 2018-19 term and surpass the merits docket in the last term at 63 decisions.

So we spent billions, destroyed the international order, killed a bunch of people including a school of young girls, caused a massive shock in oil prices, and ended up in a worse place than the deal we had a year ago? Sounds like a predictable outcome from a guy who bankrupted casinos.
