Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday defended the Supreme Court's practice of not fully explaining certain decisions that have allowed the Trump administration to advance its policies.
Speaking at the Eighth Circuit Judicial Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, Kavanaugh said there can be "danger" in issuing written opinions too early in a case, particularly when the court is only weighing a party's likelihood of success rather than the merits of the case itself.
Writing at that stage, he cautioned, risks creating a "lock-in effect" — a snap judgment that might not reflect the court's final position. "That's not the same as reviewing their actual success on the merits," Kavanaugh said, according to CNN's reporting.
