I'm Will Jarvis.
We'll be back tomorrow.
From the New York Times, it's the headlines.
I'm Will Jarvis, In for Tracy Mumford.
Today's Tuesday, September first.
Here's what we're covering.
Every year, the US Supreme Court issues dozens of opinions, carefully composed and edited documents that lay out the justices' consequential rulings.
But the Times has been looking into how their internal working papers can be locked away indefinitely.
Those memos and drafts give behind the scenes details of how they pressured and persuaded each other to reach their decisions.
In contrast with the White House, where federal law requires every last scrap of paper to be saved and eventually made public, working papers for the court are considered the personal property of each justice.
Jodie Cantor covers the Supreme Court for the Times.
She says that in recent decades, the trend on the court has been to impose much tighter restrictions on what happens to those working papers.
For example, some details of the decision-making in the Bush v.
Gore case from 2000 likely won't become public until 2075, because of one justice's choice to delay the release of his working papers.
And some deliberations from the court's landmark
Mark's same sex marriage decision in twenty fifteen won't come out until all justices involved in the case have died, a stipulation put in place by Ruth Bader Ginsburg before her death.
The lack of transparency has fueled criticism of the court, with one legal scholar saying that the justices are simply protecting themselves from being second guessed, calling it quote, reputation management.
And Jody says that dovetails with criticism of the court's growing use of the so called shadow docket, where crucial emergency rulings come down, often without any immediate details about the justice's reasoning.
