Justice Jackson Is Even Worse Than We Thought
PJ Media ^ | 30 June 2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 06/30/2025 1:19:09 PM PDT by Rummyfan

We’ve previously covered Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA Inc., yet it somehow manages to be worse than we initially thought. I think we can easily say that her dissent proves that she’s not a serious member of the Supreme Court.

In the recent case concerning birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a majority opinion grounded in the Constitution and centuries of precedent, Jackson’s dissent veered into the realm of the absurd. Instead of offering a rigorous legal argument, Jackson resorted to rhetorical theatrics and bizarre hypotheticals, leaving observers wondering if she grasps the gravity of her role on the nation’s highest court.

Barrett was brutal when she called out Jackson’s dissent as “untethered” to both precedent and the Constitution. She pointedly remarked, “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.” That’s a polite way of saying Jackson’s reasoning is so far afield that it belongs in a law school debate club, not the Supreme Court.

But Jackson didn’t just stop at ignoring precedent — she also tried to inject some late-night comedy timing into her writing. She actually included a parenthetical “wait for it,” as if her dissent were a stand-up routine rather than a legal document.

I know Joe Biden promised to nominate a black woman to the court, but couldn’t he have found someone with some intellectual rigor, respect for the Constitution, or seriousness befitting the Supreme Court?

Apparently not....

I’m beginning to think that the movie “Idiocracy” was a documentary.

Justice Ferengi Brown Jackson would be entertaining if she were a character in a comedy.

“””I’m beginning to think that the movie “Idiocracy” was a documentary.”””

It gets closer to reality every day.

“” My first wife was was tarded, she’s a pilot now”

Pretty close to reality now, wouldn’t you say?

“...she’s not a serious member of the Supreme Court...”

She’s a GHETTOPOTAMUS.

What do you expect from a person who says she doesn’t know what a woman is?

A Martian from another planet?

Did she have any particular planet in mind from which this Martian may have originated?

How did that woman pass the bar exam in her state to become a lawyer? Ella es ridicula-an embarrassment to the other justices and every American with an IQ over 75-there has got to be a legal way to get her off the SC...

Kagen a hack , but she is a very smart and surprisingly capable hack

Sotomayor is a national embarrassment.

Katangi Brown Jackson is a scathing indictment of our culture and society
