Inherently corrupt because they enabled Repub state governments in the south to immediately seek to disenfranchise black voters. A predictable consequence of the VRA ruling the conservatives pretended not to know would happen.
Increasingly corrupt because of the conservative's abuse of the shadow docket to allow the regime to continue legally questionable practices for an indefinite period of time in deference to trump.
The Supreme Court Is Operating in the Shadows — And Democracy Is Paying the Price
The Supreme Court’s growing use of its “Shadow Docket” bypasses deliberation, fast-tracking Trump-era rulings with massive political consequences.

And then there is the United States Supreme Court! It has for decades been one of the world’s great deliberative bodies. A typical legal case, winding its way through at least two levels of lower courts, and then to the Supreme Court, could typically require in excess of a year, and very often two years, if not more, to wend its way through the American judicial process – at least at the federal level.
But now, in the past few years, our Supreme Court has evidently grown impatient with its own deliberative processes. Beginning in the first Trump Term; and then from time to time under the Biden Administration; and now with notable regularity if not abandon, at the beginning of the second Trump Term, the Supreme Court has found a new toy. Knowledgeable observers have coined a catchy phrase for this: the Courts’s “SHADOW DOCKET.”
These are extraordinary steps the Roberts court is taking on politically philosophical grounds, not legal ones.
