The justice’s dissent over the SAVE voter-verification system continues her increasingly public dispute with the Court’s majority.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may use the SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) database for voter-verification purposes. Pursuant to an executive order issued by President Trump last March, about half of the nation’s 50 states have been accessing the database to assure that their voter rolls contain only American citizens living within their jurisdictions. In June, however, Biden-appointed District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan ruled that it was unconstitutional for the DHS to share the database with states. Friday’s SCOTUS ruling granted the Trump DOJ’s request for a stay. And Justice Jackson was not pleased.
She responded with a 12-page dissent that accused the Court’s majority of misreading both Supreme Court precedent and U.S. statutes by allowing the DHS and the White House to unilaterally expand the executive branch’s authority. Jackson’s dissent was full of cheap shots at the majority and infantile analogies such as the following: “[I]n balancing the equities, the majority only looks at one side of the scale — the judicial equivalent of expecting a seesaw with weight applied on only one side to work properly.” This was meant to refute the majority’s opinion that the judge’s ruling “inhibits the Federal Government’s efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of the midterm elections.”
Appointed by former President Biden in 2022, Justice Jackson is the Supreme Court’s youngest and least experienced member. Evidently, it has never occurred to her that this calls for a certain amount of humility. Instead, she has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of its practices and her more seasoned colleagues — in written opinions as well as public speeches.

The problem Democrats have is that even a good percentage of illegal immigrants eventually want to become citizens of the USA. They want their kids to be USA citizens. Then they actually pay taxes, SS, medicare. Then they realize that the Dems do not WANT people to improve themselves through hard work. They do not want Capitalists.

< sigh >
I don't object to immigrants per se.
I object to immigrants who don't want to be AMERICANS.
And I object to clothing idiots with judge's robes ...
If I was placed on the Bench, the legal brainpower of SCOTUS would be remarkably enhanced...and I’m not even a lawyer.
I don’t know a damn thing about what a Supreme Court Justice’s job would be like. But I do know right from wrong most of the time, therefore I am better suited for the job then what’s her face.
Will the democrats wake up a crazy judge to overturn the Supreme Court ? LOL
Illegals/ immigrants/etc only want MONEY NOTHING ELSE
Sorry, but I fixed it.
Illegal migrants are NOT IMMIGRANTS. They are illegal, unauthorized trespassers. US imports > a million legal immigrants who are vetted. Every illegal migrants must be sent back. Get behind the long line of people waiting to immigrate legally.
The irony of sitting on the Supreme Court, which completely misread it’s constitutional description and unilaterally expanded its authority, and having the chutzpah to make this argument.
I do not agree with your assessment.
Notice that I did not disparage your intelligence, your education, your honor, or your personal integrity. Nor did you do any of those things to me.
Last night, there was a kerfuffle about how to improve FR.
Discussion, even in disagreement, without disparaging those with whom we disagree would greatly improve this forum. Let us always strive to exemplify intelligent and respectful discussion.
What an embarrassment.
H1-B visa holders function as invaders.
Illegal aliens, including border jumpers, fake refugees, and visa overstayers, need to be removed ASAP.
Aliens of other sorts should be admitted if and ONLY IF their presence here is absolutely necessary. We have entirely too many “legal” “immigrants” who want to turn America into the turd-world cesspool they left.
The day this turd writes her own opinions I will be amazed. She was “appointed” to get her stooge staff in the building.
Maybe she’s good at playing on the Supreme Court’s basketball court.
District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan ??? Seriously?
The one thing Sparkle and Ketanji Brown Jackson share in common... Both of them have never likely voted in their lives. Neither one of them are smart enough to master the easy process of voting.
Someone who won’t attempt to define a woman, should have NO STANDING in any judgement, at all-—EVER!
This mental midget could throw as many fits as SHE wants, most will only laugh at her, and how HER selection to the Court was made.
POLITICS ALONE made her a SC Jurist, not mental acuity of constitutional law!!!
Hilarious. The female who can’t define ‘woman’ presumes to lecture the rest of the Court...
Radical revolutionary. Law doesn’t matter. Only the revolution matters. We are literally in the middle of a revolution to overthrow our system of government BY people within the government.
Let that sink in. A high-ranking judge says it's unconstitutional to verify that only Americans citizens can vote in American elections.
Look at places like Lewiston Maine - a significant percentage of foreign residents are on some kind of government assistance.
