The Supreme Court conservative majority’s use of the shadow docket is having profound consequences for millions of Americans. The warnings are even coming from Justices themselves.

Violence in Chicago comes down to one thing above all else: easy access to illicit firearms. We can stop it by enacting common sense measures—like my SECURE Firearm Storage Act with @RepSchneider—to stop the flow of guns into our neighborhoods. https://t.co/1CNLf3alL6 — PolitiTweet.org
