Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson blasts 'narrow-minded' judging on SCOTUS: ANALYSIS
yahoo.com ^

Posted on 06/21/2025 8:20:12 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unloaded on her Supreme Court colleagues Friday in a series of sharp dissents, castigating what she called a "pure textualism" approach to interpreting laws, which she said had become a pretext for securing their desired outcomes, and implying the conservative justices have strayed from their oath by showing favoritism to "moneyed interests."

The attack on the court's conservative majority by the junior justice and member of the liberal wing is notably pointed and aggressive but stopped short of getting personal. It laid bare the stark divisions on the court and pent-up frustration in the minority over what Jackson described as inconsistent and unfair application of precedent by those in power.

Jackson took particular aim at Justice Neil Gorsuch's majority opinion in a case brought by a retired Florida firefighter with Parkinson's disease who had tried to sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act after her former employer, the City of Sanford, canceled extended health insurance coverage for retirees who left the force before serving 25 years because of a disability.

I suppose she thinks it is much better to start with the desired outcome and pay little heed to the text.

Ketanji Brown Jackson is more clueless than originally thought, particularly on the Constitution.

Lefties kill civility. Scalia went out of his way to be kind to liberal Justices. Now we need Justices that hate the left as much as she hates the right.

That is what judges are supposed to do. Juries have other options. Did this woman go to law school?

She should be working as a Walmart greeter. No qualifications at all to be any kind of judge

“Pure Textualism” is exactly what the Constitution is, a term of art. There is no other form. There’s no other interpretation.

What she is saying is nonsensical.

Isn’t she the one who doesn’t know whether or not she is a woman?

Just what the supreme court needs, an angry black woman.

This is becoming a stereotype.

She is dangerous. Stupid, thinks she is smart, spiteful, and obedient.

**Isn’t she the one who doesn’t know whether or not she is a woman?**

I don’t know about that, but she refused to define a what a woman is in her confirmation hearings.

Commie to the core. No absolutes. No fear of the Almighty.

And stupid.

I mean, how dare judges abide by the written laws? Don’t they know judges are supposed to make judgments with their feeeeeeeeeeelings?

Leftists have no need for civility when they have POWER.

We have become a below average nation in just about every facet. It is what happens when leaders are selected based on merit, sex, or race instead of on those qualities that make one the best leader available.

She is dumb as a box of rocks and hates the constitution. She should be ignored.
