Ketanji Brown Jackson Throws a Fit As Supreme Court Backs SAVE Voter Verification
The American Spectator ^ | 27 Sep. 2026 | David Catron

Posted on 09/28/2026 6:36:57 AM PDT by MtnClimber

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.

She is about as bucket-o-rocks stupid as they come. Biden definitely wanted to appear smart in comparison by appointing her.

She may not know what a woman is, but she knows what a totalitarian is, and she is on their side just like a judge in 1930s Moscow would be.

Did she use the word “cracker” in her 12-page dissent?

She would make a great campaign manager for Kamala with her obvious communication skills, and all.

She’s a useful idiot to the DNC. She has no independent thought. She just does what she is told.

The entire Democrat party survival depends on importing millions of illegals and getting them into the voting system. Any threat to that strategy bring out an angry vile reaction.

“”””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.””””


I would like to see some numbers from the 25 states that have been using the database to clean up voter rolls. Such information by state as-—

1. Number of suspected non-citizens.
2. Number of non-citizens in process of being removed.
3. Number of non-citizens actually removed.
4. Number of non-citizens removed and reported to DHS for deportation.

The Democrats will make this moron the Chief Justice if given the chance (Roberts dying/leaving while a Democrat is President).
