A highly anticipated case is set to test the boundaries of the US Supreme Court's "shadow docket," a practice that has raised concerns about the erosion of separation of powers. In Adler v. Shugerman, the high court will consider a challenge to its own handling of emergency appeals, which have become increasingly common in recent years. At issue is whether the Court's ability to issue summary rulings on sensitive matters, often without full briefing or oral argument, is constitutional. The case has significant implications for the balance of power between the judiciary and the other branches of government, and may ultimately shape the Court's approach to this contentious issue.
