The Supreme Court recently allowed the Trump administration to disassemble the Department of Education, fire federal workers, and ban transgender troops while providing no clear rationale. Concerns are rising among legal experts about the increasing use of the 'shadow docket' for such decisions. This approach reflects a deferential stance the Court has taken toward Trump’s policies, raising questions about accountability and the reasoning behind its rulings. The lack of explanations in major rulings signals a troubling trend in judicial transparency, as noted by legal commentators.

Many recent rulings—such as those regarding the Department of Education and transgender military service—lack clear reasoning, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in the Court's decision-making process.
