Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Critiques Supreme Court Conservative Orders

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized conservative justices for issuing emergency orders that benefit Trump, calling them 'scratch-paper musings' and 'back-of-the-envelope impressions'.
She pointed out that these orders allow Trump to implement controversial policies despite lower court rulings against them, often without adequate explanation.
Jackson emphasized the need for the court to consider the real-world impact of its decisions on individuals affected by these policies.
