Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sharply condemns Trump’s attacks on judges

The Supreme Court justice said it was time to address “the elephant in the room": the “threats and harassment” that judges have received from Trump and his allies.

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson forcefully condemned attacks by President Donald Trump and his allies on judges who have blocked Trump administration policies, warning Thursday that the increasingly hostile rhetoric poses a dire threat to the country’s political fabric.

“The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,” Jackson told a judges’ conference in Puerto Rico. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.”

..... Snip.....

Jackson urged her judicial colleagues to show “raw courage” to dispense justice without fear of the results. “I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, and I do believe that history will vindicate your service,” the Biden appointee said.

Jackson’s unusually pointed comments received a standing ovation from the judges and lawyers in attendance. Her 18-minute fulmination is the strongest public statement by any member of the Supreme Court since the Trump administration began denouncing judges who have blocked Trump’s policies on immigration, firing government workers, and halting federal grants and contracts.

What, judges cannot be criticized? I'm sure she remembers that Chuck Schumer tried to whip up violence against several of her fellow Supreme Court Justices. Did this black...black robe hypocrite say anything back then? No she didn't. She is a 100% political hack.

A SC Justice who calls the US a democracy should be imprisoned. She’s the DEI of all DEIs. Illiterate, and ignorant.

This woman point blank told the US Senate she was unable to define a woman because she was not a biologist.

She should never have been confirmed. A DEI pick to advance trans bullshit...

That statement is enough to force her recusal from any Trump Administration case.

They do as they please, then claim to be victims and project their own misdeeds onto their enemies. A staple of Marxism.

What threats is she referring to? And as far as “harassment”, it would seem to me that a bunch of District court judges are the ones doing the harassing, applying nationwide injunctions outside of their Districts/purview in a brazen attempt to limit the President’s plenary powers, directly assaulting the will of the majority of voters (the real “our democracy”).

She is not qualified to have an opinion. She is not a biologist.

If she can’t handle the slings and arrows that come with being a justice, she should step down.

This woman should realize that she, and many of her compatriots, did not receive their lifetime appointments based upon merit but on affirmative action. She has no room to complain about criticism.

“Jackson’s unusually pointed comments received a standing ovation from the judges and lawyers“

Trump is supposed to just accept a parade of hack judges shredding the constitution and canceling the executive branch.

Someone should ask her why she thought of Obama insulting the Supreme Court at the State of the Union speech. Was she on record as criticizing him?

She is not qualified onuch anything. Not a physicist, not a mathematician, not a chemist, not an engineer, not a doctor, not a biologist, not a rocket scientist, not an accountant, I fact ketanji brown is a big nothing.

You are not immune from criticism, especially a biased political justice who can’t even tell us what a woman is

All of Jobama’s nominees should be nullified and removed, as neither Soetoro nor “The Vegetable” were legitimate Presidents.
