Ketanji Brown Jackson has delivered a sustained attack on her conservative colleagues' use of emergency orders to benefit the Trump administration, calling the orders "scratch-paper musings" that can "seem oblivious and thus ring hollow." https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-jackson-criticism-conservatives-trump-rulings-976a16d91953f42426818add77c7e3f2 #ussupremecourt #protrump
Justice Jackson chides colleagues over pro-Trump emergency orders

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has delivered an attack on her conservative colleagues’ use of emergency orders to benefit the Trump administration. The court’s newest justice, Jackson delivered a lengthy assessment of roughly two dozen court orders issued last year that allowed President Donald Trump to put in place controversial policies on immigration, steep federal funding cuts and other topics, after lower courts ruled them likely illegal. While designed to be short-term, those orders have largely allowed Trump to move ahead — for now — with key parts of his sweeping agenda. Jackson spoke for nearly an hour on Monday at Yale Law School, which posted a video on Wednesday.
