Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the Supreme Court’s growing use of emergency motions has created a ‘warped’ process that prematurely signals outcomes, a point she raised in remarks with Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The exchange highlighted liberal frustration with the court’s rapid emergency docket—including decisions favorable to the Trump administration on immigration and agency actions—though the justices avoided discussing specific cases at the event.
