Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson earned a jab from one of her liberal colleagues on Tuesday as the justices increasingly feel compelled to single her out in legal opinions.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted a stay of a lower court ruling that halted the Trump administration's mass layoffs. Jackson was the sole dissenting voice. In a concurring opinion, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor expressly addressed and shut down Jackson's arguments.

"I agree with JUSTICE JACKSON that the President cannot restructure federal agencies in a manner inconsistent with congressional mandates," Sotomayor wrote. "Here, however, the relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force 'consistent with applicable law.'"

"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," she added.

Jackson, in her dissenting opinion, explicitly asserted that the issue at hand was the matter of the restructuring, which Sotomayor unambiguous rejected.

"What is at issue here is whether Executive Order No. 14210 effects a massive restructuring of the Federal Government (the likes of which have historically required Congress’s approval), on the one hand, or minor workforce reductions consistent with existing law, on the other," Jackson argued. As Sotomayor wrote, the merits of the reforms were not the matter before the court.

Though a relatively soft rebuke, Sotomayor's singling out of Jackson marks the latest incident of a Supreme Court justice feeling the need to explicitly slap down the Biden appointee.

In late June, the Supreme Court's conservatives issued a far more scathing rebuke of Jackson, asserting that she sought an "imperial judiciary" and implying that her arguments were so frivolous as to be unworthy of significant regard.

"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," wrote Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

"JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: '[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by
law.' That goes for judges too," Barrett added.

A DEI candidate nominated by president autopen to pander to his increasingly unhinged base.

Many different judges that I appear in front of are much more insightful, smarter and an asset to the bench. She's none of those things.

This DEI hire idiot, who cannot even define what a woman is, didn’t write a damn thing. It was all done by her leftist clerks.

Listen to this, if you can

When one of the DEI triplets calls you out for the stupidity of your opinions, you are in bad, bad shape.



.

So under qualified it’s sickening.
All about checking the boxes.

She’s the AOC of the Supreme Court.

Sorry i could only listen to about half of it.

She’s not qualified to be on a local school board let alone SCOTUS.

I sometimes wonder if the judges act like they are in high school. They have lunch together in their special SCOTUS cafeteria. They form cliques and sit with their groups. KBJ giving the stink eye at ACB across the room for embarrassing her with that rebuke.

Her opinion doesn't even purport to be related to the legality/constitutionality of the matter but instead discusses what she believes will be the consequences of a policy change.
She's a woke legislator in judicial clothing.

This "persevere" story. I'm calling bullshit. This is some Jussie Smollett shit right there. In the 90's at Harvard, oh bitch please.

"...that symbolized how far our nation had traveled."

Now wait just a minute here. I thought we were a right wing racist country. Now I'm confused.

Thank the Lord Trump appointed three justices.
Vance can replace Thomas and Alito in his tenure!

^^^ I like your thinking!

I think the Sotomayer shot across her bow is a signal that KJB will not last as long as the left hoped.

I doubt that she will suddenly see herself as wrong in her opinions but rather that the lure of easy cash on the speaking tour will outweigh her desire to stay on the bench in a combative environment relative to the other justices.

Don't hold your breath.

Just a fantasy.
