Ketanji Brown Jackson airs dirty laundry in public clash with Kavanaugh over helping Trump

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Kavanaugh is a really bad SCOTUS justice. It takes a great deal for a SCOTUS justice to air the SCOTUS' dirty laundry in public. I am so glad that Justice Jackson is letting us know what is going on

Supreme Court justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Brett Kavanaugh sparred publicly on Monday over how the court has repeatedly stepped in to aid policies pushed by President Donald Trump.

Supreme Court justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Brett Kavanaugh sparred publicly on Monday over how the court has repeatedly stepped in to aid policies pushed by President Donald Trump.

The rare exchange occurred during a joint appearance at a federal courthouse event in Washington, D.C., where the two justices discussed the court’s growing use of emergency rulings – often referred to as the “shadow docket,” according to NBC News.

Jackson, who has frequently dissented in such cases, sharply criticized the high court’s increased willingness to intervene early in legal challenges involving the Trump administration.

“I just feel like this uptick in the court's willingness to get involved ... is a real unfortunate problem," Jackson said.

The court’s conservative majority has repeatedly used emergency orders to block lower court rulings that halted parts of Trump’s agenda, including moves allowing the administration to fire thousands of federal workers, assert control over previously independent agencies, and implement elements of the MAGA administration’s immigration policies.

Jackson warned Monday that the court’s practice could also inadvertently signal to lower courts how the Supreme Court might ultimately rule, creating “a warped kind of proceeding,” according to NBC News....

The public back-and-forth on Monday marked a rare moment between the two sitting justices.

“The justices have aired their disagreements in written opinions, but this was a rare example of two justices entering into a public debate about internal court business,” NBC News reported.

WASHINGTON — Internal Supreme Court divisions over how the high court has frequently ruled in favor of the Trump administration in emergency situations spilled out into public Monday with liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh locking horns.

The court's conservative majority has on a regular basis blocked lower court rulings that have stymied President Donald Trump's agenda, sparking criticism from within and outside the judiciary.

Jackson, often a vocal dissenter in those cases, forcefully aired her critique of the court's actions in a rare public appearance with Kavanaugh at an event for lawyers and judges held at the federal courthouse in Washington.

Bemoaning the recent increase in such emergency filings — requested to challenge lower court rulings — she suggested that the number of filings would drop if the court were stingier about granting them.....

In the last year, the court has, among other things, allowed Trump to fire thousands of federal workers, assert control over previously independent federal agencies and implement various aspects of his hard-line immigration policy. All those moves, done through the shadow docket, had been blocked by lower courts.

"I just feel like this uptick in the court's willingness to get involved ... is a real unfortunate problem," Jackson said. Among other things, it affects how lower court judges approach cases, as they already have a preliminary sense of how the Supreme Court might approach them on appeal, creating "a warped kind of proceeding," she added.

"It's not serving the court or this country well," Jackson said.
