When she uses the word paradigmatic, she struggles with it. Listen if you are going to use a $10 word, you better have a handle on it. I just think she is trying to impress us all with her brilliance, but in reality she's just a charlatan.

I speak in plain words, not because I don't have a greater mastery of the English language but because I want to be clear and not misunderstood or perceived to be an asshole.

Fixed it for you.

She is fulfilling her purpose to vote far left on every single issue. At least we know what she is and can plan for the predictably obvious.

But I wonder if the rest of the justices could expel her for being so stupid as to make the entire court look bad.

I'd bet they could.

I just read up on what Jackson has recently said....good lord she's a dimwit.
She drank entire gallons of DEI talking-points over the last 10-15 years to regurgitate what she said. I can only imagine what the debates are like in the SCOTUS' private chambers when she displays her lack of rigour in her arguments.

They probably just hand her her crayons and tell her to sit at the kids table and write her opinion.

As far as I know they can only be removed by impeachment, and that ain't never going to happen. We're stuck with her.

I could happen, but everyone's too chicken to get it done.

I don’t think it could happen. AI Overview:

“To remove a Supreme Court justice, two different votes are required from the two chambers of Congress:
A simple majority in the House of Representatives is needed to formally impeach the justice by approving articles of impeachment, which are the charges against them.
A two-thirds majority in the Senate is required for a conviction, which removes the justice from office.”

As Gustofer said, we’re stuck with her.

They can't be impeached for their opinions or votes, however stupid they might be or how much we dislike them. Do you want to give a future Dem Congress (it will happen, someday) such power?

For decades. She ain't leaving. The only thing to hope for is for Sotomayor to leave her seat in the next several years; she is 71 yo and has various health issues. As far as Sotomayor, we have George HW Bush to thank- he was the one who nominated her for her first judgeship as a district court judge in New York. Thanks George.

As long as her stupid opinions stay in the minority, she's "contained".

I think the best outcome for Jackson, is that her opinions are consistently framed as being obtuse to constitutional principles and many of her opinions have the veneer of racial animus.

If right-leaning justices could throw other people off the Court because they didn’t like their opinions, then the left-leaning justices could have—and would have—done the same to people they didn’t like. Wishing won’t make anything come true, but it would be good to understand that some of the things we think we’d like to see wouldn’t always turn out that way if we changed some of the principles and practices that are the reason this country has survived as well as it has for nearly 250 years.

2 words, blue slips.
It was actually Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat, that recommended her.

Blue slips are the same problem Trump is running up against since he got back in the WH for judicial as well as US attorneys...

The bigger question is, where were the Republicans when this idiot was being nominated and questioned for the position? I don't recall anybody in the Republican Party objecting to her being elected to the United States Supreme Court.

It was a 53 to 47 vote for confirmation by party lines. The Republicans at that time did not have the votes to deny or stop the confirmation. They did what they could, with all the sound bites from her confirmation hearings to follow for the rest of her life.

Hayzoos Kristo!!

"Oh, she's so sly. She knows exactly what she's doing with this stuff."

No, she's just plain stoo-pid. Far and away, the least intelligent person ever to sit on the court. Double-digit IQ, and an utter lack of self-awareness. The ultimate DEI hire.

I can't even imagine a half-way intelligent person working for this dimwit.

The eye-rolling must be strong in that office.

No, I am betting her sycophants are salivating at the prospect of coming to work and getting the chance to see her and comment how great she is.
