Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson went after all eight of her judicial colleagues Monday over the Voting Rights Act case of Louisiana v. Callais.
She suggested that the court acted politically by speeding up the case’s final ruling so that Louisiana would have time to craft a new map for the upcoming midterm elections.
“It can so easily be perceived that the court is doing something political,” the Biden appointee said while speaking at the American Law Institute, according to ABC News.
“In my view, we have to be really, really careful in this environment when we’re dealing with issues that have a political overlay,” she added.
“We have to be scrupulous about sticking to the principles and the rules that we apply in every case and not look as though we’re doing something different in this kind of context.”
The original case struck down part of the Voting Rights Act in a 6-3 decision authored by Justice Samuel Alito. Her comments, however, seem to refer to the court’s 8-1 decision to certify the case faster than it normally would.
The decision to move faster was essential, given the current timetable, Alito stated.
“The dissent [from Jackson] would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional,” he wrote.
Standard practice is to wait 32 days before a SCOTUS decision is certified, to allow other parties more time to consider asking for a rehearing. There are historical exceptions, however.

Thanks a lot Murkowski, Romney and Collins.
She is tragically stupid, what do you expect?
Clarence Thomas probably wished the worst question he was asked during his confirmation hearings is to tell the difference between male and female.
That’ll do, pig.
Didn’t Earn It doesn’t understand it!
the DEI retard is lashing out again?
Heaven forbid that justice is administered swiftly!
SCOTUS ruled with appropriate timeliness. Brown Jackson would have been more niggardly.
This, after delaying the Callais decision by dragging out her dissent for nine months? Bless her heart ...
She supports Apartheid Districts thru segregation. Stunning.
But of course. Everyone else is wrong, even her allies. This dimwit with a child’s mentality has no idea she is showing every stereotype that she should be trying to suppress and be an example.
Leftist aren’t logical rational people. They cannot be dealt with reasonably.
Justice Brown: numerical majority is the decider.
They debase every institution they join, including the Royal family.
She is illegitimate, being appointed by an illegitimate president “selected” through massive fraud.
Time will bear this out.
The African mammy has got to go. The ho is not an American.
Didn’t a trio of Republicans vote to confirm Jackson?
The rantings of this mentally slow person would not even be a blip on my radar.
Bless her heart.
The IQ-Gap crowd has found its poster child.
