More than three dozen US federal judges have expressed concerns about the Supreme Court’s recent emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration. These judges, nominated by both Republican and Democratic presidents, say the orders are leaving them confused and hurting the judiciary’s image with the public. The judges criticized the court’s lack of clarity, brevity, and reasoning in its emergency rulings, which have had significant practical effects on policies such as immigration and government spending. Some judges compared the Supreme Court’s behavior to a “war zone,” while others expressed concerns about the court’s partisanship and disrespect towards lower court judges. The critics argue that the court’s use of emergency orders is undermining public confidence in the judiciary, but some judges also see its benefits in managing a high volume of cases quickly and uniformly.
