The US Supreme Court is one of the last black boxes in American politics. No anonymous sources talking to the press. No secret videos recorded on the inside. What happens in the chambers when the nine justices meet to decide their cases remains strictly confidential.

Far from a dull government disclosure form, these records are the latest bit of fodder for observers of a court that’s suffered a string of ethics controversies in recent years.
