The asterisk-2020 election of Joe Biden followed by the installation of Kamala Harris as candidate in 2024 demonstrated the lengths the Left will go to in order to hold power. Ketanji Brown Jackson (KBJ) and her antics also reveal that the Left’s latest activist at SCOTUS is about power over merit. Something we’ve seen time and again with DEI.

What’s become fairly evident during her short time on the high court is that Jackson has little interest in even trying to feign the appearance of impartiality that’s required of judges. At nearly every turn, she’s allowed her personal “feelings” to dictate her public conduct and jurisprudence.

Consider her Saturday remarks at the Global Black Economic Forum, in which she openly attacked her colleagues’ recent decisions as an “existential threat to the rule of law.” That’s not the language of a serious justice, but a radical left-wing activist who views it as her job to advance leftist orthodoxy from the bench.

Maybe KBJ feels she’s the next Ruth Bader Ginsberg what with all the face-time she longs for. A SCOTUS pundit rather than a junior justice …

She worries about “our democracy”? KBJ runs with the totemic phrase used by Leftwing ilk, from Eric Swalwell to Antifa, to excuse every incitement to violence and actual violence directed at non-Left Americans. KBJ is more concerned with glowing press and friendly venues to yuk it up than with any pretense to intellectual vigor when it comes to her judicial writings. Bad enough that Justice Amy Coney Barrett nuked her from orbit on KBJ’s dissent in Trump v CASA …

“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,” Coney Barrett wrote, giving a scathing criticism of Jackson.

She then put the bow on this wonderful gift to the American people, noting the hypocrisy of Jackson in her denunciations of Trump while wanting a limitless judicial branch.

“We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary,” Barrett said of her colleague.

… but even Justice Sonia Sotomayor (no slouch when it comes to radical leftism) couldn’t ignore Jackson’s Emily Litella moment by telling KBJ her ranting about resizing of the Federal Bureaucracy wasn’t what they were ruling on.

While joining the majority, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor authored a separate statement saying that while she agrees with Jackson “that the President cannot restructure federal agencies in a manner inconsistent with congressional mandates,” the plans crafted by federal agencies “are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law.”

When the “Wise Latina” is fed up with your non-judicial temperament and sloppy opinions, you might want to calm down and rethink.

We shouldn’t hold our breath. Allowing the best and brightest to succeed is anathema to the ideology underpinning DEI. Identity based on immutable characteristics, like sex and melanin level, coupled with commitment to Leftwing ideology is what got KBJ to SCOTUS. It is why the reputations of places like Harvard to UCLA medical school have been wracked with scandal. Normies are noticing …

“What level of untapped talent exists in this country that a combination of DEI and immigration have basically cut out of the loop for the last 50 years?” https://t.co/UfDPKUWOHk
