On Oct. 2, the U.S. Supreme Court granted motions to file petitions under seal in six cases, including the highly anticipated Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood , to be argued next month. To some, the day's actions symbolize a little-noticed trend over the past decade allowing such secret filings, which runs counter to the Court's historical preference for conducting its business in public. Though the number of filings under seal is still tiny, no motion to file under seal has been denied since 2003.

When the Supreme Court debates the constitutionality of the federal “partial birth abortion” law next month, it will have some sensitive information in its hands that no member of the public can see.
Specifically, the justices will have the full transcript of a 2004 deposition by an Oregon doctor who apparently mentioned the names of colleagues in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists who may have performed abortions.
