Is Steve Vladeck left or right?
Steve Vladeck is a Georgetown Law professor, CNN's Supreme Court analyst, and author of the weekly Substack newsletter One First, which he has continued publishing through the Court's 2025-26 term. His commentary sits left of center on legal questions: his 2023 New York Times bestseller "The Shadow Docket" argued the Court uses unsigned emergency rulings to expand its power, and his recent newsletter writing has warned of "a new kind of judicial supremacy." He writes as an institutionalist legal scholar rather than a partisan pundit, grounding critiques in federal-courts procedure, national security law, and Court history. He joined Georgetown in summer 2024 after years at the University of Texas, and remains one of the most-cited legal commentators on the Roberts Court's conservative majority.
