Martin Baron and Stephen Vladeck bring their experience and expertise to this conversation on how power, politics, and the nation’s highest court exacerbate issues that affect millions of Americans. Former editor of The Washington Post and The Boston Globe, Baron writes about the unprecedented clash between political elites and journalists in his latest book Collision of Power. In The Shadow Docket, nationally-recognized constitutional law expert Stephen Vladeck argues that the shadow docket of the US Supreme Court — an arcane, little-understood process of issuing behind-the-scenes rulings — threatens the rule of law and American democracy.
