This Week In The Big Picture Ten years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts made a fateful decision that still reverberates today.

Ten years ago, John Roberts reshaped the Court’s emergency docket into the “shadow docket” we have today. Tomorrow, we dig into how it’s been used to deliver wins for Trump. And yesterday, we looked at how in Hungary, Peter Magyar showed Democrats how a message on affordability can break through.
