Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is ‘mad as a bag of cats' over SCOTUS ruling says Republican senator: ‘That's a good thing'
2025-06-29
[The Grio] In her 22-page dissent, Justice Jackson warned, "The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law."

U.S. Senator John Kennedy, R-La., praised the Supreme Court’s Friday ruling that blocks nationwide injunctions, potentially paving the way for President Donald Trump’s plans to eliminate birthright citizenship and other executive policies.

The 73-year-old lawmaker said he was "proud" of the 6-3 decision from the conservative majority of the court, which limited lower courts to injunctions for any said policy only in a plaintiff’s jurisdiction.

"The Supreme Court has turned the universal injunctions into fish food, as well it should have," Kennedy told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner. "There’s no basis in statute. There’s no basis in Supreme Court precedent. There is no basis in English common law for universal injunctions."

#3  Based on her total incoherence demonstrated in this opinion, Jackson remain a fringe character of American juris prudence. When he is in the majority, the Chief Justice assigns the justice to write the majority opinion. Jackson will not be in the majority in any case where Roberts is not also in the majority. There is no way that Roberts is going to be onboard with an opinion drafted by the DEI hire clerks that penned this hallucination for Jackson. Her opinions will remain all be minority opinions that will be cited by legal scholars as cautionary tales or for comedy.

#1  Maybe the Justice will be soooo angry, she'll resign. But she realizes Trump would appoint her replacement, I'm afraid.
