Justice Jackson says US Supreme Court's use of emergency docket is 'corrosive'

Jackson said the court’s emergency orders often lack explanation and have let the Trump administration proceed with policies lower courts had blocked.

  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized the US Supreme Court's increased use of the 'emergency docket', calling it 'corrosive' and creating 'zombie proceedings' in lower courts.
  • Jackson said the court has become 'noticeably less restrained' in taking up controversial cases on an emergency basis, steering it into the political fray it is supposed to avoid.
  • The emergency docket's use has surged since Trump's return to office in 2025, allowing him to implement policies blocked by lower courts amid legal challenges.
