Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has publicly criticized the Court's increasing use of the 'shadow docket'—emergency decisions issued without full explanation or transparency, often favoring the Trump administration.
Kagan warned that this practice undermines the legitimacy of the judiciary and erodes public trust, as the Court fails to provide reasoning for its rulings. She also expressed concern over the growing trend of government officials disregarding court orders, emphasizing that respect for judicial decisions is essential to the rule of law. Kagan urged her colleagues to exercise caution and transparency, and called on judges not to be intimidated by political threats or public criticism.
Her remarks highlight a deepening crisis over judicial independence and accountability in the U.S. legal system.
