It describes how thay were part of a panel at a Washington event for lawyers and judges, where questions from a federal judge were asked.Jackson criticized the court\u2019s increasing willingness to intervene in emergency matters involving the Trump governance,calling the trend an unfortunate progress for the court and the country. Kavanaugh pushed back, saying that none of them enjoy this dynamic and that they must maintain the same stance nonetheless of who is president. Despite their disagreement on that issue, the two reportedly agreed on several other points, including the condemnation of threats of violence against judges. The article also provides context on the justices\u2019 backgrounds-Kavanaugh, appointed by Trump in 2018, and Jackson, appointed by Biden in 2022-noting Jackson\u2019s liberal stance and occasional friction with colleagues, contrasted with Kavanaugh\u2019s more conservative alignment, while highlighting the ongoing emphasis on decorum and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >traditional judicial handshake<\/a> at the Court.  <\/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\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?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<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not uncommon to hear that the Supreme Court is one of the last places where honest-to-goodness decorum still exists.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the political temperature tamped way down during oral arguments, but the justices even have something known as the &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/about\/traditions.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Judicial handshake<\/a>&rdquo;
