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

Jackson, one of three liberal justices on the court, spoke Thursday about what's known as the "shadow docket," the process the court uses to rule on emergency requests without full briefing or oral arguments. Donald Trump has frequently turned to that process to seek quick approval from the court on disputed policies.

"There is a serious concern that the supreme court's modern stay practices are having a disruptive and potentially corrosive effect," Jackson said, according to the Guardian.

Jackson didn't name specific cases in the excerpt, but her remarks amount to a public break with how her own court operates behind closed doors. Emergency rulings carry real weight even without a full hearing. They decide whether policies take effect while lawsuits play out for months or years. When a sitting justice says that process is corrosive to public faith, it's a rare admission from inside the building that something isn't working as intended.
