Justice Elena Kagan, speaking at New York University School of\u2062 Law, mentioned that\u200c the\u2064 court might \u2064be \u200bbetter off addressing fewer unanticipated petitions that typically\u200b lead to short-term resolutions \u2064rather\u200d than resolving the substantive issues at hand. Kagan highlighted a pattern of\u200b heightened emergency requests that began \u200bduring the Trump administration and has \u2062continued under Biden, indicating a surge in cases that parties present to the court, regardless of presidential administration.<\/p>\n<p>As \u200dof the end of summer, the court \u200bhas handled at \u200cleast 25\u2064 emergency applications, \u2064a significant\u2063 rise \u2063from previous years when\u200d they\u200c averaged between\u2064 six and 15. The cases largely involve disputes over\u2062 Environmental Protection Agency \u2063rules, among other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dnc-day-4-whos-speaking-on-the-final-night-of-the-convention-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"DNC Day 4: Who&#039;s speaking on the final night of the convention - Washington Examiner\">significant policy issues<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-education-sec-on-womens-school-sports-we-have-a-legal-responsibility-to-include-transgender-athletes\/\" title=\"Biden Education Sec On Women\u2019s School Sports: We Have a \u2018Legal Responsibility\u2019 to Include Transgender Athletes\">sex discrimination laws<\/a> and election procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Neil Gorsuch suggested that the declining \u200cnumber of regular cases being accepted by the court could be due to changes\u200b in the \u2062legal landscape, such\u200b as lower court closures \u2062during the pandemic. He encouraged \u2063lawyers to file \u200cmore petitions to increase the court&#8217;s caseload, noting that the court has been handling\u200c notably\u200c fewer cases each term, which raises concerns about public perception that the \u2064court\u200d is only dealing with controversial \u2063issues.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Justice Sonia Sotomayor expressed fatigue over the\u200c growing demands\u2063 of their workload and the complexities involved with more amici curiae \u200cbriefs \u200dfiled in cases. \u2064The Justices&#8217; remarks reflect ongoing challenges in\u200c addressing their\u200b increasing\u200b workload,\u2062 managing emergency\u2064 petitions, and maintaining the court\u2019s reputation amidst public scrutiny. As the \u2063next term approaches, \u200bthe court\u200b will face a fresh\u2064 set of contentious \u200dissues, continuing to navigate these significant challenges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Supreme Court justices speak out amid concerns over stacked summer docket<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1757012\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Supreme Court<\/a> justices are speaking out about the rising number of emergency requests accumulating during their summer recess, many of which surround Republican-led challenges to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/biden-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Biden administration<\/a>&lsquo;s environmental regulations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Speaking during an appearance at the New York University School of Law on Monday, Democratic-appointed Justice Elena Kagan suggested the Supreme Court would be better off spending less time handling a flurry of unanticipated petitions, which often result in short-term resolutions that do not fix the underlying problems brought by litigants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan sits on a panel at the 2024 9th Circuit Judicial Conference in Sacramento, California, on Thursday, July 25, 2024.

Parties involved in litigation, especially in cases involving contested government policies, often engage in fierce debates over which rules should be enforced while the case is being litigated in lower court. The justices typically receive brief submissions and resolve these requests with minimal explanation. However, the high court&rsquo;s decisions can have swift and significant real-world effects.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is prompting the rise in emergency docket requests?<\/h2>\n<p>By the end of this summer recess, which will conclude around the last week of September, the justices will have dealt with at least 25 emergency applications, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3133055\/supreme-court-summer-recess-anything-but-quiet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>according to a tally<\/a> kept by Georgetown University Law Center professor Steve Vladeck. In 2021, 2022, and 2023, the range was between six and 15 applications per summer.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands, the Supreme Court is toiling over three different pools of emergency applications over various Environmental Protection Agency rules, which involve more than two dozen Republican-led states challenging regulations that were pushed out by the Biden administration earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent post to his&nbsp;One First&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevevladeck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog<\/a>&nbsp;on Substack, Vladeck said the most &ldquo;ripe&rdquo; dispute for decision surrounds eight applications over the Biden administration&rsquo;s new limits on power plant emissions, noting that it would &ldquo;not be surprising&rdquo; if the Supreme Court issued a ruling over that dispute by this week.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few months, the Supreme Court&rsquo;s emergency docket has also included cases over separate policy disputes ranging from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3126066\/supreme-court-title-ix-ruling-creates-enforcement-patchwork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>sex discrimination rules in schools under Title IX<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-186-now-removed-arizona-voter-roll-names-were-foreign-nationals\/\" title=\"186 foreign nationals were found on the Arizona voter roll but have now been removed\">voter registration procedures<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3131382\/supreme-court-rejects-rnc-bid-uphold-arizona-voting-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>battleground state of Arizona<\/a>, and Biden&rsquo;s alternative yet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/2962858\/new-biden-student-loan-forgiveness-plan-would-cost-84-billion-if-implemented-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>costly<\/a> plan to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3136848\/supreme-court-biden-student-loan-plan-hold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>student loan borrowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gorsuch discusses &lsquo;shrinking&rsquo; caseload during regular court season<\/h2>\n<p>As the emergency docket grows during the high court&rsquo;s summer break, another trend that has prompted comment from justices and court watchers alike is the apparent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevevladeck.com\/p\/98-why-is-the-courts-docket-shrinking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>&ldquo;shrinking&rdquo;<\/a> number of cases justices are hearing between October and June of each annual oral argument session. For example, the high court was taking anywhere between 80 and 90 cases per term between 2009 and 2010, and that number has steadily dwindled to around 60 per term in more recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a conference for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit last week, Justice Neil Gorsuch, one of three appointees of former President Donald Trump, suggested the decline in the high court&rsquo;s caseload is due to a decline in the total number of appeals reaching the justices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Justice Neil Gorsuch speaks during an interview in his chambers at the Supreme Court in Washington.

Bush administration Solicitor General Paul Clement, hit out on earlier this summer. Clement said he thinks it would be a good thing for the high court to take on more cases per term.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will say my own view is that the court is taking too few cases. Now, as somebody who files the occasional cert petition, I have a vested interest in the court taking more cases, but I still think objectively, it is better for the court when they have a fuller docket,&rdquo; said Clement, who was the lead counsel on the case this year that saw the justices rule 6-3 to overturn the <em>Chevron <\/em>doctrine, which had given agencies broad deference to set policy agendas under respective administrations.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking before a crowd in Washington, D.C., at the Federalist Society&rsquo;s 2024 Annual Supreme Court Round Up event, Clement suggested that the dearth in cases compared to recent decades could perpetuate a misleading notion that the justices are only taking on &ldquo;controversial cases.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And if the court only takes 60 cases, that means when people look at the court, they may think, &lsquo;Wow, all you do is, like, race, abortion, and Trump,&rsquo; and I think they wouldn&rsquo;t be that far wrong if the court&rsquo;s only taking 60 cases. If, on the other hand, the court&rsquo;s taking closer to 80 cases, I think it&rsquo;s a little easier to point to the idea that the court actually takes a wide variety of cases and is very often unanimous in deciding those cases,&rdquo; Clement said.<\/p>\n<p>Gorsuch said from the 10th Circuit conference last week that approximately 40% of the Supreme Court&rsquo;s decisions this term were decided either unanimously or 8-1.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;To my eyes, that&rsquo;s not bad for a court that&rsquo;s tasked&nbsp;with resolving some of the most difficult legal issues in the country,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sotomayor expressed weariness amid calls for more work<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking on the difficulties mounting before the high court, Democratic-appointed Justice Sonia Sotomayor said in January this year that the workload has become &ldquo;bigger&rdquo; and more &ldquo;demanding&rdquo; in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The number of amici are greater, and you know that our emergency calendar is so much more active.

Not anymore. The emergency calendar is busy almost on a weekly basis.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the problems discussed by Kagan, Gorsuch, and Sotomayor are reflective of their respective personal viewpoints, their comments put together show that the high court led by Chief Justice John Roberts is grappling with challenges involving its workload and public perception.<\/p>\n<p>After taking the sledgehammer to the administrative state to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/2979689\/gorsuch-supreme-court-trump-immunity-case\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>&ldquo;rule for the ages&rdquo;<\/a> on the matter of presidential immunity stemming from Trump&rsquo;s indictments, the justices this year are preparing for another major term to begin in October, which will once again have them weigh controversial matters, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3130058\/gop-led-states-ask-supreme-court-trounce-atf-ghost-gun-rule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>bans on firearm attachments<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3056287\/supreme-court-to-hear-challenge-tennessee-transgender-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>transgender procedures for minors<\/a>, a death penalty case involving an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2809817\/supreme-court-weighs-richard-glossip-appeal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>alleged wrongful conviction<\/a>, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But so far, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/case-files\/terms\/ot2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>only 28 cases have been taken up for certiorari<\/a>, meaning the justices are less than halfway to matching their batting average for this era of the Roberts court.<\/p>\n<p>As the Supreme Court&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/states-and-business-groups-chart-another-supreme-court-challenge-to-epa-emissions-rule-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"States and business groups chart another Supreme Court challenge to EPA emissions rule - Washington Examiner\">annual long conference<\/a> at the end of September approaches, the justices will be looking to add a slew of cases to their schedule for the term.

During a recent event at New York University School of Law, Justice Elena Kagan, appointed by a Democratic president, indicated that the Court would be more effective if it spent less time addressing a surge of unexpected petitions. These often lead to temporary solutions that fail to address the core issues raised by litigants. Kagan remarked on the difficulty of this situation, stating, &#8220;It\u2019s a very hard problem&#8230; I don\u2019t think we do our best work in this way.&#8221; She noted that this trend began towards the end of Trump&#8217;s presidency and has continued throughout Biden&#8217;s term. &#8220;It\u2019s a symmetric problem: It doesn\u2019t really matter who\u2019s president,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the Supreme Court has typically agreed to hear around 60 cases per term but has seen an increase in emergency docket requests. By the end of this summer recess\u2014expected to conclude in late September\u2014the justices will have addressed at least 25 emergency applications compared to only six to fifteen in previous summers from 2021 through 2023. Currently, they are reviewing multiple emergency applications concerning various Environmental Protection Agency regulations challenged by over two dozen Republican-led states.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Neil Gorsuch also commented on another trend: a noticeable decrease in cases heard during regular sessions from October through June. He noted that while between 80 and 90 cases were taken up annually around 2009-2010, this number has dropped significantly to about 60 recently due to fewer appeals reaching them.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran advocates like former Solicitor General Paul Clement argue for an increase in case numbers per term for better representation and variety within Supreme Court decisions. He expressed concern that with only about 60 cases being heard, public perception may skew towards viewing the court as focused solely on controversial issues like race or abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Sonia Sotomayor echoed these sentiments regarding workload pressures and expressed fatigue over an increasingly demanding schedule filled with emergencies almost weekly during what used to be downtime for justices.<\/p>\n<p>As they prepare for another significant term starting in October\u2014with contentious topics such as firearm regulations and transgender rights on their agenda\u2014the justices face challenges not only related to their caseload but also how they are perceived publicly amidst these pressures<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2633,"featured_media":2339346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SUPREME-COURT-KAGAN-GORSUCH-1.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[8744,40590,40589,32275,32076],"class_list":["post-2339345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-justices","tag-legal-concerns","tag-summer-docket","tag-supreme-court","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/SUPREME-COURT-KAGAN-GORSUCH-1.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2633"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
