SCOTUS: KBJ’s Fifteen Pages of Dissent

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

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”.
