Justice Kavanaugh Defends Supreme Court's Use of Brief Orders in Emergency Cases
Justice Brett Kavanaugh has defended the Supreme Court's use of brief and direct orders in emergency cases, particularly those involving former President Donald Trump. He maintains that the Court does not owe the public detailed explanations for these decisions, even as the Court faces increasing requests for intervention. Critics argue that the Court's approach shows a consistent favoritism toward Trump. Justice Kavanaugh also commented on the distribution of power within the U.S. system, stating that no one should have too much power, amidst criticisms of the Supreme Court. The Court allowed a Mississippi social media law to take effect and denied emergency relief in the NetChoice case challenging the same law, leading some critics to suggest the Court is bowing to political influence.
