Steve Vladeck, Georgetown University Law Center professor and author of The Shadow Docket, makes the case that the Supreme Court's ideological capture isn't just a symptom of partisan politics but a structural failure decades in the making. He argues that a court perfectly aligned with the party of the president who appointed each justice, operating on a shrinking and curated docket with no meaningful accountability from Congress, has stopped functioning merely as a referee.
Vladeck, Bethany McLean, and Luigi Zingales dig into the Powell Memo's role in mobilizing business interests toward the judiciary, how interest groups steer case selection, why Democrats enabled the court's unchecked expansion, what genuine reform would look like, and whether Chief Justice Roberts has any path to salvaging his legacy as public trust hits historic lows.
