Why Ketanji Brown Jackson is hell-bent on destroying the Supreme Court
NY Post ^ | 5/08/26 | Rich Lowry

The call is coming from inside the house.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais has made progressives even more determined to delegitimize the court — and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is among them.

In a dissent involving a post-decision procedural question, Jackson accused the majority of acting out of pure partisanship.

Her opinion said that the court “unshackles itself” from all constraint and “dives into the fray” (meaning the partisan fray).

In its jurisprudence, “principles give way to power.”

It is acting with an “abandon” that is “unwarranted and unwise.”

These harsh charges occasioned a stinging and well-deserved rebuttal from Justice Samuel Alito.

But, merits aside, the tenor and substance of the Jackson dissent captures the mindset of a left that is increasingly determined to destroy the Supreme Court in order to save it.

The technical matter under dispute was whether the court would wait 32 days to finalize its decision in Louisiana v. Callais.

This is the usual practice under the court’s Rule 45.3; the idea is to allow the losing party time to file a petition for re-hearing.

It wasn’t “so many Republican senators”. It was only 3, and you can guess which ones: Romney, Murkowski and Collins. All the rest voted no. The Senate will kill this country if the public doesn’t wake up.

No she is outright a DEI hire. Joe Biden promised to put a black woman on the court and he did. One who said she does NOT know what a woman is....

She’s not destroying anything.

She is pushing Gorsuch, ACB, and Kegger even further to the right, ensuring 6-3 decisions on all key cases.

That said-—and I predicted this for over a year-—we will lose the Birthright Citizenship case. Zen Master, Robert Barnes, many others sympathetic to overturning say the legal reasoning has to go back to England and that the justices won’t go there.

On the tariff decision, Kegger cleverly outlined three different legal approaches that (he suggests) the Court will accept on tariffs.

Aside from that, the Court has been astoundingly good.

Can the other 8 Justices vote her off the island?

I don't think so. She could be impeached, convicted in the Senate, and removed, but that's highly unlikely.

“...She’s the equivalent of a DEI hire in HR. No tangible skills or expertise in anything, just a colored girl in the right place at the right time.
Worthless....”

Exactly.
My dog’s penis is more qualified. At least it knows what a beotch is....spit.

Obvious reason: Too afraid to appear as racist. No backbone, no principles, typical politicians, not patriots.
