Yes, you got that wrong.  

 

And you knew it, which is why you're trying to change what you said.  

 

No, I am not 2 centuries old.  And neither are you.

Nah he wasn’t wrong. He counted it out for you. 
 

The document has spanned 4 centuries, as in existed within 4 difference centuries. 
 

if it still doesn’t make sense you can use your figures to count out how he listed it

The Supreme Court and 'The Shadow Docket'

 

The title sounds more like a thriller than a legal treatise. The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court uses stealth rulings to amass power and undermine the republic" — and the author, University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck, admits the term "shadow docket" is evocative.

 

Vladeck's book, written so it can be understood by the interested non-lawyer, focuses on a part of the court's work that until six or seven years was mainly viewed as pretty boring. That, however is no longer true, and today the emergency docket has come to be known as the shadow docket, a term coined in 2015 by University of Chicago law professor William Baude.

 

Justice Samuel Alito hates the term, and gave an hour-long speech in 2021 at Notre Dame, suggesting that journalists and politicians have seized on it to wrongly portray the court as "sneaky," "sinister," and "dangerous."

 

Nonetheless the term has stuck.

 

Professor Vladeck argues that the court has only itself to blame.

 

"What impelled me to write the book is that over the last six years, we've seen the shadow docket become a lot less boring because the Supreme Court, and especially the conservative majority, has been using unsigned and unexplained orders to a degree and in ways which really have no precedent in the court's history," he said in an interview with NPR.
