Ketanji Brown Jackson: “This case gives fodder to the unfortunate perception that moneyed interests enjoy an easier road to relief in this court…”

And the hardest part for judges is that we really cannot participate.

Significant real-world harms can follow Supreme Court stay rulings, and when the court’s orders do not acknowledge that reality, they seem oblivious and ring hollow,

The Court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful.

You know, there are lots of limits on what judges can do, and I try to be very, very mindful and scrupulous with respect to that because, as you say, our obligation is to be unbiased in our approach.
