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...

It is very nice that Jackson gets to fulfill her dream and appear on Broadway. Conservative justices might like to fulfill much smaller dreams — such as going for a walk with their children — without facing mobs of activists.Critics are making fun of Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for her “cringe” special appearance on Saturday in a bit part of a queer-themed Broadway musical. The popular show, which imagines what would have happened if Juliet had not killed herself over Romeo, has been nominated for nine Tony awards.In promotional material for the appearance, Jackson highlighted a curious and confusing...

Justice served. & Juliet is the hit Broadway musical created by the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek & pop music’s #1 hitmaker.

Kentanji Brown Jackson may not know what a woman is, but she knows what it is to go to bed one night as just an ordinary Supreme Court justice and to wake up the next day as a Broadway star. Yup, she's hitting the Great White Way (or, maybe, in her case, the Great Black Way) to fulfill a childhood dream: taking a turn in a Broadway musical.Interestingly, the particular musical she's chosen, "& Juliet," is a tawdry pro-transgender show. I think we can now guess how Jackson will vote on Tennessee's "no 'gender-affirming' care on minors" law.The Hill reported...

The first and most famous was pretty much her introduction to the entire country as the soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice who could not define what a woman was because?BECAUSE?Not a biologist™.Remember that time Kentaji Brown Jackson, now a Supreme Court Justice could not give a definition for "woman"Good times 🤦‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/L1sh4a41rF— Kat™ The Hammer ⚒️ (@KatTheHammer1) March 19, 2024Ho, boy.There have been some memorable stumbles since, but today?Today, she has come close to eclipsing that moment in the sun.The case being heard is a challenge to a Tennessee law that bars 'risky gender transition interventions for minors.' That's the key...

Joe Biden’s Supreme Court Justice pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has quickly distinguished herself as arguably America’s dumbest justice after just three years on the bench. On Wednesday, she again lived up to that reputation in a case dealing with ‘gender-affirming’ care for children.As CBS reports, The Supreme Court is addressing a case concerning the constitutionality of a Tennessee law that bars puberty blockers and hormone therapy for so-called ‘transgender’ youths. Back in March 2023, Tennessee’s Republican-led legislature instituted its ban on these dangerous medical procedures, which have been used to treat ‘gender dysphoria’ for decades.Advocates for child mutilation, including the...

Has MSM forgotten the not so ancient Biden's trophy pride DEI judge (KBJ) who couldn't define who a woman is? But, in a complete 180 degrees turn, they sure know now as using it to attack GOP. Were they all lying then? - rhetorical question. Or is "progressive" now redefined? Woke vs new progress ?

Back during the confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the prospective Supreme Court Justice was asked to define the word 'woman'. She couldn't, claiming she's not a biologist. The media, of course, ran with that -- including this story from USA Today that said there's no 'simple answer' to what being a woman means. There is a very simple definition: adult female human. But we digress. We also congratulate Justice Brown Jackson on becoming a biologist, because she can now magically define 'woman': As the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson says...

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is under pressure from fellow liberals to retire amid growing fears she might enable a Republican president to appoint a conservative successor. CNN commentator Josh Barrow became the latest to demand the 69-year-old step down lest she follow in the footsteps liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg who died while serving at 87 in 2020. That death allowed then-president Donald Trump to cement the court's conservative majority with the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett, and some liberals are determined it will not happen again. 'I'm not saying I think Justice Sotomayor is on death's door,' Barrow...

Joe Biden’s Marxist Supreme Court Justice appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson “repeatedly failed to disclose that her husband received income from medical malpractice consulting fees,” according to a letter sent to the Judicial Conference by the Center for Renewing America. “We know this by Justice Jackson’s own admission in her amended disclosure form for 2020, filed when she was nominated to the Supreme Court, that ‘some of my previously filed reports inadvertently omitted’ her husband’s income from ‘consulting on medical malpractice cases,’” said the letter, written by the think tank’s leader Russ Vought. According to Fox News, Vought said in the...

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is facing an ethics complaint over alleged failures to disclose details about her income. A conservative group filed the complaint, bringing these allegations to light.

The complaint alleges that Jackson did not report some of her husband's income for more than a decade. The...

Mistakes happen to all of us but that doesn’t mean they aren’t pretty embarrassing. That’s especially true when the claim being made is a) obviously improbable and b) you have an entire staff of helpers who also somehow missed it. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made the mistake in her dissent on affirmative action.Beyond campus, the diversity that UNC pursues for the betterment of its students and society is not a trendy slogan. It saves lives. For marginalized communities in North Carolina, it is critically important that UNC and other area institutions produce highly educated professionals of color. Research shows that...

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made a "mathematically absurd claim" about Black newborns in her dissenting opinion in the affirmative action decision, attorney Ted Frank wrote in a Wednesday Wall Street Journal op-ed. Jackson argued in her dissent that diversity "saves lives" and that it was essential for "marginalized communities.""It saves lives. For marginalized communities in North Carolina, it is critically important that UNC and other area institutions produce highly educated professionals of color. Research shows that Black physicians are more likely to accurately assess Black patients’ pain tolerance and treat them accordingly (including, for example, prescribing them appropriate...

As RedState reported earlier, the United States Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 vote Thursday that the race-based college admissions processes used by Harvard and the University of North Carolina (UNC) violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, effectively striking down the use of affirmative action programs in college admissions.In Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissenting opinion in the UNC case, Jackson, who was nominated by President Joe Biden to the Supreme Court in part based on a campaign promise to nominate a black woman, accused the court’s conservative majority of “let-them-eat-cake obliviousness,” proclaiming that the Justices “detached” themselves from “this...

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court oral arguments in a key immigration case grew heated Tuesday as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s first nominee to the court, rejected the White House’s interpretation of federal law. Jackson accused Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar of having a “conceptual problem” in her understanding of the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires the federal bureaucracy to take certain steps when changing policies. The case, brought by Texas and Louisiana, challenges Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ 2021 memo that said federal agents should review the “totality” of an illegal immigrant’s threat to public safety rather than automatically expel...

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argues the framers of the 14th Amendment adopted it "in a race-conscious way," a position some legal experts say is subject to debate. Jackson, the first black woman on the Supreme Court, began her first two days on the nine-member bench by speaking more than any other justices , in addition to a full four-minute statement in which she said the 14th Amendment used "race-conscious" remedies to make freedmen equal to white citizens. The issue at hand involved a challenge to Alabama 's 2021 congressional district map, which a lower court held was a...

Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz has found herself in a racism row with critics of her dimly lit Vogue portrait of Ketanji Brown Jackson claiming it demonstrates her repeated failure to light black stars 'properly'. Leibovitz proudly shared her two photos of the Supreme Court justice on Twitter this week after they were published on Vogue's website.

It isn’t a huge ruling by the Supreme Court but it is a defeat for the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement policy, at least a temporary defeat. The interesting points of the ruling include the fact that conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the three liberal justices. It is also the first time the newest justice’s name appears on an order released by the Supreme Court.On Thursday, the Supreme Court denied the Biden administration’s stay request to reinstate an immigration enforcement policy that allows DHS to focus its resources on certain groups of illegal immigrants for deportation over others. At...

Supreme Court-designate Ketanji Brown Jackson didn’t attempt to stay neutral on a gun control issue that could land before the high court one day. During a commencement address at Harvard University last week, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern listed several items her government has accomplished in recent years, including “banning military-style semi-automatics and assault rifles.” New Zealand banned these weapons after the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting, which left 51 dead. Jackson, who was sitting near Ardern, was seen applauding while the graduates gave a standing ovation.
