Newest Supreme Court Leak Sparks Calls for FBI Investigation__cl

The latest controversy centers on internal memos obtained and published by The New York Times, which reveal private deliberations among justices regarding the court’s use of the so-called “shadow docket”-a mechanism that allows the court to issue rulings without full briefing or oral argument. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley described the leak as part of a broader pattern that could signal deeper institutional challenges within the court. The disclosure comes just a few years after the unprecedented leak of the court’s draft opinion in the Dobbs case, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
