SCOTUS conservatives issue scathing rebuke of Justice Jackson in injunctions ruling

"JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: “[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.” Ibid. That goes for judges too," she added.

T he Supreme Court's Friday ruling narrowing the scope of judicial injunctions also included a scathing rebuke of Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, asserting she sought an "imperial judiciary" and that her views ran afoul of more than 200 years of precedent.

"We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary," wrote Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

"JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: “[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.” Ibid. That goes for judges too," she added.

Barrett further criticized Jackson for ignoring relevant statutes because they contained "boring 'legalese.'"

File 24a884_8n59.pdf The justices found that Congress had not given lower court judges the authority to impose nationwide injunctions and that they were unnecessary for the courts to provide relief to plaintiff parties.

While the ruling was a clear win for the Trump administration, Barrett's choice words for Jackson appeared to signal a growing frustration between conservative justices and their newest colleague.

"Rhetoric aside, JUSTICE JACKSON’s position is difficult to pin down. She might be arguing that universal injunctions are appropriate—even required—whenever the defendant is part of the Executive Branch," Barrett wrote. "If so, her position goes far beyond the mainstream defense of universal injunctions."

Jackson doesn’t even know what a woman is because she’s “not a biologist”.
Pathetic.

The critique of Jackson shows just how completely unfit she is to be even a District Court judge, let alone a Supreme Court Justice. Everyone knew she wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this is just dumb.

Note that Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion is nothing but boring ‘legalese’ gobbledegook nonsense.

KJB might consider running her rulings through Grok to see if her logic and choice of words are appropriate for publication by the highest court in the USA. JUST A SUGGESTION.

I read the decision and ACB really took Ketanji's ass apart using very sound legal reasoning.
I think the other 8 justices are starting to understand how DEI works in the real world.

Ketanji Brown Jackson’s suitability to serve on the Supreme Court is equal to Joe Biden’s suitability to serve as President of the USA.

Ketanji was appointed by President Autopen, you know.

This so called justice would do well to seek psychiatric help. Her brain is damaged.

Jackson’s an agenda-driven DEI political hack.
“If we lose the election we can still rule through our judges.”
ACB’s opinion dripped with contempt.

And, of course, the same can be said of who nominated her for the position.

It is disgusting and outrageous that an absolute moron like Jackson could even be a judge, much less a judge on the USSC.

Another of Biden’s disastrous legacy. Thank you, Joe Biden…./s
