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.

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.

Democrats are committed to destroying all our institutions.

Favored method -- Destroy from within.

When Louisiana complied by manufacturing a monstrosity of a district stretching 250 miles to randomly scoop up black voters, it got sued again — this time, for taking race too much into account — and that case made it to the Supreme Court.

It is a sign of how weak the Jackson dissent is that neither of the other progressives joined it, not even Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Never let a weak argument get in the way of a naked power grab.

Media pressure. They were afraid of being called racist.

Ketanji is like the pigeon sh*tting all over the chess board in the park.

The question is how much criticism DEI KBJ can take. Both the right and left members of the court dismiss her as stupid. A fews more 8-1 decisions might get her to resign.

Appointed by the Autopen and should be impeached for that very reason.

It also was an "FU" to MAGA.

if putting Ketangi on the Supreme Court was an attempt to get back at MAGA, it was a gigantic fail. A very large part of the left's fake legitimacy is based on "being more intelligent" than the knuckle-dragging conservatives. The left needs Ketangi's "angry, semi-intelligent, black-woman energy" in the political trenches - but definately not on the high court - where she exposes the left as decidedly less intelligent.
