The internal Supreme Court divisions between liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh have become public over the court's decisions in favor of the Trump administration in emergency situations, a procedure known as the "shadow docket" where the court rarely hears arguments and often issues terse decisions with little explanation. Jackson, a frequent critic of the court, expressed dissatisfaction at the increasing number of emergency filings and suggested that the court should be more cautious about granting them. Meanwhile, Kavanaugh defended the court by stating that the increase in government applications is not unique to Trump, but also not unique. The justices also expressed concern about violent threats against judges, who have ruled against Trump.
