In a decision yesterday afternoon, SCOTUS has allowed the Trump administration to launch its mass layoff and restructuring plans.
Note the operative word, allowed. Not ruled. Liberal justices, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined the administration in response to reorganization. But we can always count on Ketanji Brown Jackson to dissent.
For some reason, this Court sees fit to step in now and release the President’s wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation. In my view, this decision is not only truly unfortunate but also hubristic and senseless.”-Ketanji Brown Jackson
In fact, there were 15 whole pages of dissent from Ketanji Brown Jackson. The icing on the cake? It took Sonia Sotomayor to school Jackson on yesterday’s happenings.
The plans themselves 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.”-Sonia Sotomayor
Sotomayor's response to Jackson's dissent
Ketanji Jackson has NO CLUE what is going on.https://t.co/XLLTOeHOov

Yes, I said Sonia Sotomayor. We expect Amy Coney Barrett to call the Jasmine Crockett of SCOTUS out on the carpet but Sonia Sotomayor? Yep. This is how the whole the judicial thing works in SCOTUS, KBJ.
When a liberal judge is basically calling another liberal judge an idiot, maybe it’s time that judge steps down

But reorganization might just harm democracy.
Consider the harms to democracy, too, if it turns out that the plaintiffs and the lower courts are right that the President is unilaterally changing the structure of the Federal
Government. What one person (or President) might call bureaucratic bloat is a farmer’s prospect for a healthy crop, a coal miner’s chance to breathe free from black lung, or a
preschooler’s opportunity to learn in a safe environment.”-Ketanji Brown Jackson
Really? Last we heard, protecting farmers, coalminers and children was NOT what some of these agencies (and the employees who worked for them) were doing. Biden’s Climate partnerships were doing so much to help the farmers of America. Bloat. And coalminers? This, from a Justice brought in by Biden. Like he or she really cared about them coalminers. Learn to code. And, I wouldn’t call a preschooler’s environment safe today by any stretch of the imagination. If a (ahem) “smart” Juris Doctor from Harvard cannot define what a woman is, I highly doubt a preschool teacher can (no offense to preschool teachers). And, don’t forget those Antiracist Babies. Are they babies? What is a baby, anyway? And, what and who qualifies as a child predator?
I’d say it was a good thing for the Trump admin to cut federal funding to Harvard if this is what they’re churning out. It was bad enough that KBJ got owned by a “Wise Latina”, she also got owned by Trump lawyer, John Sauer in the Jack Smith immunity case.
What is a justice?
I don’t know, I’m not a justiceologist.

Where is the auto-pen that signed her nomination? Can we get a dismissal around here?
This Court’s complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower courts, their rulings, and the law (as they interpret it) will surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions, enabling our collective demise.”-Ketanji Brown Jackson
Complicit and a “culture of disdain”? We have seen it all over the past few years until the Trump train rolled into town again. Collective demise? We were well on the way there. The demise that ensued from all of the bloat and missteps in the Biden Administration would have been a “hubristic and senseless wrecking ball”.

Wfjag says: Frustration: Picked to be the DEI Poster Girl, and now she’s last year’s lame out-of-fashion has-been. So out of touch that even the Wise Latina won’t let her sit at the Cool Kids Lunch Table.
KJB – that was an 8 to 1 vote against you. Even the liberals pointed out that you were too dense to understand the issue before the Court. Either you need to wise up, or you need to fire your law clerks and hire some who can read English and explain to you what is before the Court, and then write your opinions for you that stay within the lines. Or, your name will become a synonym for “Unqualified”.
SkillyBoo says: She’s of the mind that believes federal jobs are sacrosanct and thus untouchable. Doesn’t matter that private industry is always looking for ways to improve efficiency and the bottom line the jobs she is wanting to protect are almost always in lockstep with the leftists Jackson defends. Her belief is the federal government should only continue to grow and spread its tentacles into every facet of our lives to control us. However it is President Trump, and all the people he has appointed to lead federal agencies that stand in the way of that. They know there is an overabundance of redundancy throughout the federal behemoth and that laying off and downsizing is a necessary decision that must be and now will be accomplished.
GWB says: In my view, this decision is not only truly unfortunate but also hubristic and senseless.
And she just described her entire legal career life in one sentence.
the Jasmine Crockett of SCOTUS
Whoa. As much as I detest Crockett, I think you owe her an apology.
Jackson is more a combination of the worst aspects of Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, and that guy from Dumb and Dumber – no, the other one.
a culture of disdain for lower courts
No, honey, that culture is caused by so many within the lower courts, themselves. It’s when they work so hard to implement Progressivism, despite the clear text of the law and the Constitution, that people begin to have disdain for them. It’s the same reason so many people have disdain for you, sweetie.
the downfall of our governing institutions
Well, if those institutions aren’t within the bounds created by the Constitution and in line with the Declaration of Independence, then they should fall. “Governing institutions” is one of the biggest problems in America.
Also, an adherence to “governing institutions” contradicts the DoI itself. “When in the course of human events…”.
The woman (yes, I’m sure) is the epitome of DEI and rule by Prog. SMH.
Scott says: See my comment on the previous post.
This woman, as has been pointed out is the poster child for DEI, and a very clear example of what happens when law schools churn ou graduates based on anything other than a clear understanding of the law.. ( not to mention what happens when a President nominates a DEI hire, and the Senate abdicates their responsibility to properly vet said nominee for the position.
CDC says: SCOTUS declined to interfere before anyone with standing sues.
draigh says: She needs to be impeached and removed from the court!
