Sotomayor warns of 'unprecedented' SCOTUS

In a candid speech at the University of Alabama, Justice Sotomayor took aim at her conservative colleagues for granting numerous emergency stays to the Trump administration.

She argued that this 'shadow docket' practice prevents thorough legal deliberation and creates a perception of political bias.

The Justice noted that the administration has filed an extraordinary number of motions to block unfavorable rulings while appeals are still pending.

Her remarks highlight deep internal divisions within the nation's highest court as it handles a surge of politically sensitive cases.
