Summary
Ketanji Brown Jackson said in a public appearance that the Supreme Court’s use of its emergency docket has become “problematic” and needs greater restraint.
The justice argued the court has misused the fast-track process by letting the Trump administration put a series of controversial policies into effect while lower-court challenges continue.
Her remarks publicly spotlight a procedural fight over how often the high court should grant urgent relief before full briefing and argument, with implications for major policy disputes.
