Sharing a stage, Supreme Court Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Brett Kavanaugh sparred Monday over the many emergency orders the court has issued allowing Donald Trump to move ahead with key parts of his agenda.
The issue in emergency appeals is whether a policy that has been challenged in court should be allowed to take effect while a legal case that could last for years continues.
Jackson, a frequent dissenter from the emergency orders, said Kavanaugh and the other conservatives who repeatedly sided with Trump last year were not serving the court or the country well.
“The administration is making new policy … and then insisting the new policy take effect immediately, before the challenge is decided. This uptick in the court’s willingness to get involved in cases on the emergency docket is a real unfortunate problem,” Jackson said to loud applause.



Here’s an idea: could they all just die?
No please don’t, then Trump gets to pick 9 new ones.
I’d be very happy if he also died
Immediately
Then Vance gets to pick 9. Careful what you wish for, we are firmly in monkey paw territory…
It’s a rule that a president or acting president can’t pick any SCOTUS judges in the last year of their term, or the year before that, or either of the preceding two years.
Rules aren’t law, and can be changed. This was even broken when it was a rule by GOP.
Don’t worry. We all will one day.
The sooner the better
