   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.   
      
   As I understand the concern, in this clash over the respective powers of   
   two coordinate branches of Government, the majority sees a power grab —   
   but not by a presumably lawless Executive choosing to act in a manner that   
   flouts the plain text of the Constitution. Instead, to the majority, the   
   power-hungry actors are . . . (wait for it) . . . the district courts.   
      
   It’s hard to imagine any of the Court’s great legal minds stooping to such   
   gimmicks. And then it got worse.   
      
   She took her dissent into science fiction territory. She actually wrote,   
   “A Martian arriving here from another planet would see these circumstances   
   and surely wonder: ‘what good is the Constitution, then?’”

   This is Ketanji Jackson. Leaving aside the point she’s making, is it even   
   correct grammar to say “Imagine a Martian arriving here from another   
   planet.” A planet other than Mars? This is like saying, “Imagine an   
   Australian arriving here from another country.”

   I wonder what Martians would think about DEI hires?   
      
   Seriously, though, that was embarrassing. The highest court in the land is   
   not the place for extraterrestrial thought experiments. The American   
   people deserve justices who are anchored in reality, not ones who rely on   
   what imaginary Martians might think of our Constitution.   
      
   The most troubling aspect is that Jackson shows no willingness to grapple   
   with the real issues at stake. She refuses to acknowledge that district   
   courts, by seeking to dramatically expand their own authority, might   
   themselves be guilty of a “power grab.” Nor does she entertain the   
   possibility that an executive acting in a way she dislikes isn’t   
   automatically “lawless.” This isn’t legal analysis; it’s political   
   posturing in black robes.   
      
   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?   
      
   The Supreme Court should be a fortress of reason — not a stage for   
   activist grandstanding.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
