Regarding the NY Redistricting case, this is the first time the term “shadow docket” has made sense to me.

Congress is the body who can bring the Supreme Court back in line if it is behaving in unconstitutional ways, and this practice of randomly taking cases without satisfying the approved procedural qualifications is dangerous in my opinion.

Is there any movement within Congress to stop this behavior?

We act like it’s the executive branch destroying democracy but it’s these 6 justices that let it happen. Absolutely abhorrent. The court just issues blow after blow. They aren’t elected and they serve for life. Great.
