Ketanji Brown Jackson criticizes supreme court’s handling of emergency docket

The justice called out her colleagues in a speech she made at the UDC school of law, hours after Trump filed his latest request

US supreme court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson acknowledged serious concerns about her colleagues’ handling of emergency requests, the method Donald Trump often uses to seek approval from the court.

Jackson, one of the three liberal members of the supreme court, criticized the justices’ willingness to issue rulings via the “shadow docket”, saying it undermines the public’s faith in the judicial system.
