True
NYT article: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday criticized the Supreme Court’s use of its emergency docket, saying that the court’s willingness to fast-track high-profile cases posed a threat to its standing among the American public.

The court, she said in a speech, “cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if, without clear explanation, we are consistently greenlighting harmful acts” without a full hearing.

Justice Jackson told the audience that there was “a serious concern” that the Supreme Court’s handling of its emergency docket was “having an enormously disruptive and potentially corrosive effect” on the federal court system.
