Justice Samuel Alito tore into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s lone dissent in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting dispute on Monday, calling her arguments "baseless and insulting" after the Supreme Court decided to fast-track implementing its recent redistricting ruling ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Alito used a concurring opinion, joined by Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, to directly rebuke Jackson, saying her "dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered."
"The dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents an unprincipled use of power," Alito wrote, adding that that was a "groundless and utterly irresponsible charge."
The clash highlighted Jackson's increasingly isolated position on the court, as she broke not only from the conservative majority but also from her two liberal colleagues, who did not join her dissent. Jackson forcefully accused the Supreme Court of overreach, marking the latest in a pattern of solo dissents in which the Biden-appointed liberal justice has blasted high-profile majority decisions that have frequently favored President Donald Trump and Republicans.
In Monday's order, the high court decided in an unsigned ruling to allow Louisiana officials to quickly move forward with changing their congressional map, which is expected to reshape the state's congressional representation in favor of Republicans ahead of the midterms.
Alito argued that delaying the judgment of the high court's 6-3 ruling last month — which significantly narrowed section two of the Voting Rights Act by finding Louisiana's map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander — served no practical purpose. Jackson's reasons for wanting to prolong implementation of the landmark ruling were "trivial at best" and "baseless and insulting," Alito said.

Good- hit this b!tch hard...
No surprise someone who was nominated simply because she was a black woman- as was widely broadcast by the moron who nominated her- would object to congressional maps that discriminate against whites...she needs to be reminded of both at every opportunity...
It was worsened by it being her time of the month...
If Ketanji cant find tampons in the ladies room, can she look in the mens room without getting her wallet stolen? What a freakin retard.
“... frequently favored President Donald Trump and Republicans...”
No, dipshit favored the republic as founded and its people...
Our very own Ghetto Justice. Makes me spit.
Justice Antonin Scalia used to be kind and gracious to Ruth Bader Ginsberg despite her dangerously wrong opinions that made us all suffer for years and years. They ended up being cordial outside the Court.
Will Alito try that with tack with Jackson? (kidding)
Pearls before swine.
Look at the three sub-human garbage Republicans that voted for this low IQ retard ideologue. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT).3079c2
I once read that Sotomayor cited the fewest legal precedents in her opinions of any justice currently on the Court.
I wonder if Jackson has eclipsed that.
I think the expression you are looking for is “turd in the punchbowl.”
She is the most unqualified SC justice of my lifetime. And three GOP senators voted to confirm her.
I can hear Jackson now, “Legal Precedents, we don’t need no stinkin precedents”...
Why can’t they vote her off? Who will sue them to override it?
The people who controlled the vegetable Joe Biden and his decisions/appointments were a special breed of destructive, dangerous, angry neo-marxists.
Jackson is exhibit 1A
“Legal precedents Presidents, we don’t need no stinkin precedents Presidents”
Why can’t they vote her off? Who will sue them to override it?
Ketamji needs to go back to the Southern Puberty Law Center.
Let’s all ask Chief Justice Roberts if he now thinks that he has a “Biden judge” on the bench! She is deserving of the title of the Supreme Court Jester from here on out. She’s well beyond being an activist.
Don’t be so hard on her.
She’s not a biologist.
Didn’t Earn It is too dumb to even cover up her bias.
