The Washington Roundtable is joined by Stephen Vladeck, a Georgetown Law professor and self-proclaimed “Supreme Court nerd,” to examine President Trump’s increasing defiance of the Supreme Court. The panel discusses whether the Court’s strong rebuke of the President’s tariff policy obscures a broader pattern of expanding executive power through the use of emergency “shadow docket” rulings, a kind of shortcut for dealing with emergency requests. “I think that’s where the Justices have shown the most inclination to vote in ways that might be inconsistent as a matter of legal principle, but consistent as a matter of partisan political preference,” Vladeck says. Vladeck is the author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Docket-Supreme-Undermine-Republic/dp/1541605187/ref=sr_1_1?crid=4MVJNRSC0WJY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.J3skAM74FnncCU5pAijf9w.cFjumMRX_Kn3vkgDgIFbBu761SNHC_sQwwHTG5vL_VA&dib_tag=se&keywords=The+Shadow+Docket%3A+How+the+Supreme+Court+Uses+Stealth+Rulings+to+Amass+Power+and+Undermine+the+Republic&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1772236332&sprefix=the+shadow+docket+how+the+supreme+court+uses+stealth+rulings+to+amass+power+and+undermine+the+republic%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-1">The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic</a>.” This week’s reading:<ul>
