How They Deceive You

Propaganda

C

Notable spin via framing the 2016 Clean Power Plan stay as an unprecedented conservative innovation, while omitting prior shadow docket uses and bipartisan applications.

Main Device

Partisan Framing

Portrays conservative justices' actions against Obama as haphazard and novel, contrasting with their support for Trump, without noting equivalent liberal-favoring uses.

Archetype

Progressive judiciary skeptic

Displays bias against conservative Supreme Court tactics on regulatory power, emphasizing partisan divides and downplaying historical precedents or liberal parallels.

Informs through leaked memos but deceives by framing shadow docket as conservative 'birth' via selective novelty claims and omissions of prior/bipartisan uses.
