I wrote recently about the chilling jurisprudence of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has drawn the ire of colleagues in opinions for her rhetoric and extreme positions. Many have expressed alarm over her adherence to what has been described by a colleague as an “imperial judiciary” model of jurisprudence. Now, it appears that Jackson’s increasingly controversial opinions are serving a certain cathartic purpose for the far-left Biden appointee.
On ABC News, Jackson stated, “I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do.”
Her colleagues have not entirely welcomed that sense of license. The histrionic and hyperbolic rhetoric has increased in Jackson’s opinions, which at times portray her colleagues as abandoning not just the Constitution but democracy itself.
Her dissent in the recent ruling on universal injunctions drew the rebuke of Justice Amy Coney Barrett over what was described as “a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush.” Barrett wrote:
“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.”
Jackson, however, clearly feels that opinions are a way for her to opine on issues of the day.
She is not alone. Across the country, liberal judges have been adding their own commentary to decisions in condemning Trump, his supporters, and his policies.
I previously wrote about this pattern of extrajudicial commentary.
District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, was criticized for failing to recuse herself from that case after she made highly controversial statements about Trump from the bench. Chutkan lashed out at “a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.” That “one person” was still under investigation at the time, and when Trump was charged, Chutkan refused to let the case go.
Later, Chutkan again added her own commentary when asked to dismiss a case due to Trump pardoning Jan. 6 defendants. She acknowledged that she could not block the pardons but proclaimed that the pardons could not change the “tragic truth” and “cannot whitewash the blood, feces and terror that the mob left in its wake. And it cannot repair the jagged breach in America’s sacred tradition of peacefully transitioning power.”
One of Chutkan’s colleagues, Judge Beryl Howell, also an Obama appointee, lashed out at Trump’s actions, writing, “[T]his Court cannot let stand the revisionist myth relayed in this presidential pronouncement.”
Then there is Judge Amit Mehta, another Obama appointee, who has been criticized for conflicted rulings in Trump cases and his bizarre (and ultimately abandoned) effort to banish January 6th defendants from the Capitol.
Last week, Mehta had a straightforward question of jurisdiction concerning a challenge to the denial of grants by the Trump Administration. While correctly dismissing the challenge, Mehta decided to add his own commentary on Trump’s priorities and policies:
“Defendants’ rescinding of these awards is shameful. It is likely to harm communities and individuals vulnerable to crime and violence. But displeasure and sympathy are not enough in a court of law.”
For Justice Jackson, her opinions have at times left her isolated on the Court. Weeks ago, Jackson and Sotomayor were alone in dissent over the defiance of a district court judge of the Court’s decision on universal injunctions. To her credit, Justice Elena Kagan (who voted with Sotomayor and Jackson in dissent in the earlier case) voted with her conservative colleagues in rebuking Judge Brian Murphy in Boston.
Kagan joined in the reversal of Murphy’s conflicting order and wrote the new order “clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial.”
This week, Jackson lost even Sotomayor and stood alone in her dissent in support of an injunction over plans to downsize the government. Sotomayor observed that the Trump order only ordered for agencies to plan for such downsizing and said that the courts could hardly enjoin such policy preparations in the Executive Branch.
However, Jackson could and would.
The controversial position of Jackson on the Court is not due to her liberal views. We have had many such liberal jurists. The difference is how Jackson views her role as a justice.
The danger is not confined to opinions. For years, justices have yielded to the temptations of public speaking before supportive groups. I have long been a critic of what I called the era of “celebrity justices” where members seem to maintain political constituencies in public events.
Such speeches can not only undermine the integrity of the Court by discussing matters that may come before it, but they can create a desire to maintain the adoration of supporters. The greatest danger is that justices will consciously or subconsciously pander to their bases with soundbites and inflammatory rhetoric.
Judicial advocacy from the bench has been a concern since the founding. Article III can have a corrosive impact on certain jurists who come to view themselves as anointed rather than appointed. Most judges and justices are acutely aware of that danger and struggle to confine their rulings to the merits of disputes, avoiding political questions or commentary.
The “opportunity to tell people how I feel” can become a slippery slope where opinions become more like judicial op-eds. The Court is not a cable show. The price of the ticket to being “one of nine” is that you should speak only through your opinions and only on the narrow legal matter before you.
Opinions must remain “opportunities” to do simple justice, not a supreme editorial.

“A Radical Company is Paying Supreme Court Justices Millions”
-by Daniel Greenfield, July 9, 2025 at 4:00 am
“Jackson received a $893,750 advance for her memoir and is now reporting $2 million in profits last year. These would be record numbers for a Supreme Court Justice’s biography from a book that hardly anyone had noticed when it came out. And while books can become unexpected successes once released, there was little sign of that happening.”
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/21733/bertelsmann-paying-supreme-court-justices
Time to take off the gloves —
“Opinions must remain ‘opportunities’ to do simple justice, not a supreme editorial.” (JT)
Justice Chase was impeached by the House, in part for “continually promoting his political agenda on the bench, thereby “tending to prostitute the high judicial character with which he was invested, to the low purpose of an electioneering partizan.”
She was placed on the court because she is an activist who happens to be a lawyer. As we have seen, there are many judges like her placed on the bench by Obama and Biden (or whomever was running the show). Recall Harry Reid ending the filibuster in order to pack the DC court to protect the ACA from legal challenges. Those judges were not chosen for their unbiased legal reasoning but their reliable judicial activism. These are the types of judges we will get from any Democrat administration going forward.
When Biden looked for someone to replace Breyer, he said his nominee would be a liberal Black woman. No one else need apply. We got what he wanted. Brown-Jackson is not qualified. If she has a juvenile psychological need to express her political philosophy to people other than the plaintiffs and defendants, she can write occasional Op-Eds in the media, but not in her opinions about specific cases before SCOTUS. CJ Roberts should publicly reprimand her and, if she will not comply, he should ask her to resign and ask the Senate for a resolution reversing its approval. Presidential nominations to SCOTUS should have term limits (not the same as age limits), which upon expiring should require the Senate to renew or not renew its consent.
You can thank the “Never Trumpers” for INJUSTICE Ketanji Brown Jackson. You know the ones like Dick Cheney and his little girl Liz, the rest of the Deep State and the multi, multi billionaires that were being extorted by the lefties to rig the 2020 election.

J6 was a riot by Pelosi police (worse than the “police riot” of DNC 1968). All the J6 dead and all the seriously injured were non-violent protesters. IIRC, NYT said one cop lost part of a little finger and reported no other lasting injuries. (Two of the dead were middle-aged men who had, respectively, a stroke and a heart attack right after cops started firing flashbangs deeply and randomly into the crowd without warning and without reasonable justification.)
Remember too. None of this got started until the police fired tear gas at the protesters, but failed to pay attention to the wind direction. ( not real smart guys) When the protestors got upset because the use of tear gas for no good reason. To make matters worse, the police started shooting rubber bullets which caused the people to cross the barriers that were in place. The police are to blame. By watching the videos, you can see there was NO leadership by the police. Thanks Nancy!
Very well said Jonathan
what is the difference between a stupid person and an embecile:
a stupid person makes stupid mistakes and CAN BE MADE TO BE AWARE they are making stupid mistakes. Often a stupid person can make changes and progress toward becoming smarter. we are ALL kind of stupid in one regard or another. But stupid is not a permanent state for the normal person.
an embecile is quite a different condition. no manner of external pressure, the embecile is INCAPABLE of knowing or making any changes toward becoming smarter. They are either intellectually challenged (cannot really understand the basics of reasoning and logic), or they have substituted intellect for some ideological principle that they do believe holds a higher value and therefore dispense with reason. Any efforts to become aware they are being stupid are impossible to reconcile. They have literally taking olympic size laps in dumb dumb Kool aid and there is no way to get rid of that stain. No do they want to.
this particular black robe apparently is mainlining the dumb dumb juice. strung out on it.
impeachment really should be the remedy here. and soon, before she does something even much more stupid…because if you really understand the kind of dumb this really is and have experience noticing it with people who have this affliction, violence usually follows.
Imbecile not “embecile”.
Shabbat Shalom everyone 🙂
Have a peaceful sabbath
WINNING!
I’m not even Jewish yet this Fiddler on the Roof – Sabbath Prayer video clip always moves me. Always. So beautiful
Blessed, Sabbath OMFK
Wonderful movie.
Beautiful! Thank you, Estovir. I saw Fiddler on the Roof many decades ago, and I forgot about this particular, lovely song.
Estovir, the entire movie is wonderful.
I have seen it >5 times. It is a masterpiece as to cinematography. The dance scenes superb like the one that follows. It is my understanding that the movie / play are a sanitized interpretation of the multiple stories written by the Jewish writer Sholem Aleichem. I believe Fiddler was based on the one story “Tevye the Dairyman” but there were other stories by Aleichem that were not included in the movie / play. The stories depicted a running theme: life in Russia as a Jew. The stories apparently portrayed life as fairly brutal because of Russian brutality against Jews but the movie made it look more tolerable than what it really was.
Perhaps some of the Jews on here can correct me and add more precise language as I never read the stories. They were written originally in Yiddish
“I’ve seen it more than five times—it’s a masterpiece of cinematography.”
Estovir, you strike me as someone with an appreciation for the arts. I don’t know if you ever spent much time in New York City, or whether you ventured outside Manhattan, but if you did, especially during the big wave of Russian Jewish immigration, you might’ve crossed one of the old bridges into Brooklyn, or maybe taken the Battery Tunnel, and ended up in Brighton Beach.
Back then, Brighton was full of Russian nightclubs. Some were old, converted theaters; real showplaces that could hold a crowd. They served fixed-price meals that filled the table (with a liter of vodka included in the price of the meal), and between courses, the entertainment would begin. An expert violinist might engage in acrobatics while playing or performing another activity. Many of the performers were new immigrants, just off the boat, trying to make a life here.
I haven’t been back in decades. I doubt it’s the same. These things change. Some performers may have made a name for themselves, while others faded into memory. But there was something raw and full of spirit in those nights, something that can’t be recreated.
When I worked for Big Pharma 20+ yrs ago, I would have to make trips to corporate office often. Back then the NY, NJ region was home to some of the bigger companies like Pfizer, J & J, Merck, Bristol Myers, Novartis, Bayer, Roche and others. I got a crash pad in Forest Hills, Queens, but otherwise had a rather low key life. Never a drinker, clubber or drugger, I attended shows, museums, parks, churches and touristy things. Never went to Brooklyn though, other than Brooklyn Bridge / Dumbo area, and the beaches never crossed my mind in NE USA given my background. The Russian Jewish exodus was not pronounced in Miami Beach / North Miami Beach, so I never came into contact with that cultural experience. However my father owned a store in NMB, when Jews were the predominant group as well as Bal Harbour, and I learned so much from them. This was all before Aventura existed
I love cultural events. The biggest mistake of Americans is to not venture beyond CONUS, and opt to shut themselves off to people from other realms of the world. Wonderful times, miss those unique cultural experiences greatly
Owning a store in Bal Harbor is no small thing; it’s a ritzy spot, exclusive and upscale, and one of the nicest places to live in the Miami area. That said, I’ve always tried to steer clear of Miami itself. If you’re up for sharing, what kind of store did your father own? We used to shop there when we were in Miami, about 30 years ago. My wife swears she still has a few pieces from back then.
As for Forest Hills, it is close enough to Manhattan to soak up the culture, but far enough to keep its own quiet charm. If you ever wandered in, you likely got more than a taste of city life.
Peace
Much discussion about broken border. Now that it’s class action the lots for deportation can proceed quickly but the logistics is a different thing.
The likelihood that Trump molested underage girls is rising. Acting obtuse and responding to a valid and pertinent question with, “You’re still talking about Epstein…” instead of recognizing the topic is on everyone’s mind, is tantamount to Trump saying, “Nothing to see here.”
The problem Trump has is there is no evidence in his life that if he were found to have had sex with underage girls, that you could say, “That’s so unlike hime and how he is.” No, it is how he is.
https://youtu.be/yRAPLodRnd4
WINNING!
“The likelihood that Trump molested underage girls is rising.”
Rising from zero to… zero? There’s no way that it wouldn’t have leaked if he was on the list. Since you never heard it from your biased media sources, Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-largo years ago because he knew Epstein was skeevy. There’s no there there. Nice try though.
Trying to link Trump to epstein now – is not a “nice try” – it is the desparate claims of someone who is delusional.
You are incorrect – the probability that Trump is linked to Epstien is not zero – but it is incredibly close to zero, and it is declining all the time.
ATS
You cling desparately to the hope that the most investigated man in kthe world, one who has been int he public eye his entire life one who the press and FBI and CIA and every investigative body in the world has pried into still manages to have some deep dark secret life that no one knows about.
No your nonsense claims are not becoming more tangible, more concrete.
Massive amounts of digging found ONE photo of Trump with The nutjob who thinks that every many she has ever been near raped here, ONE photo and still it was found.
Do you honestly think if there was not even the slightest hint of anything regarding Trump it would have been found.
Prior to the farcical trial in NYC I beleived it was possible that Trump slept with Daniels – THAT was actually closer to what we know about Trump than your nonsense. Biden is the one where there is evidence of a predilection for the use of Force AND an interest in children. There is no video of Trump sniffing girls hair.
Regardless, as the trial progressed it became less and less likely that there was anything to Daniels story.
If it was True – she could have and would have sold it to Clinton for millions – Clinton paid 1.6M for the Steele Dossier.
What would she have paid to establish Trump cheated on Malania while pregnant ?
Yet Daniels was selling her story to Cohen for a paltry 100K+
If you are telling the truth – you can sell to anyone.
But lies can only be sold to those who KNOW they are a lie – otherwise it is defamation.
Daniels was interesting on the stand. She had clearly studied – She knew the layout of Trump’s room, Trump’s hotel.
All information that was easily available if she wanted.
But she could not recall anything about her own room – not even the physical location of her hotel – she claimed to take a cab to a hotel that was just across the street.
I have little problem beleiving that Trump might sleep with a porn star.
But that is NOT the same is believing THIS particular story.
And THIS is the strongest story you have.
Do you honestly think that if Trump was floating in Epsteins circles there would not be dozens of people who could provide information – even proof ?
Do you honestly Think that if Bide/Harris could have torpedoed Trump with ties to Epstein that they would have burned the entire democratic party to the ground to do so ? DOJ has had the Epstein info for years – when they were head hunting Trump.
There are leaks if Trump takes a binder to the crapper. Do you think there would not be a leak if Trump could be tied to Epstein ?
I have very little doubt that many many wealthy and or powerful men have been doing bad things with Epstein.
I also have no doubt Trump was not one of them.
Your engaged in the most desparate of hopes – really sick ones.
The weaker your claims regarding Trump become the MORE extreme your beleifs about Trump become.
This is not the thought of rational people.
You seem to beleive that Trump is NOW being magically protected – fine but what protected him during his first term ?
What protected him while Biden was in office ? Do you honestly think Garland, or Comey or Wray or Brennan or Mueller, or the long long list of left wing nuts in power who went after Trump would not scorch the earth to get him ?
That they would not atleast secretly leak damning information that might lead to him ?
There have been all kinds of epstein leaks – about Gates, about Clinton about several others.
But there is nothing but nut job speculation from those like you regarding Trump.
Are there people who would protect Trump – absolutely.
But they have never been more than a tiny portion of those in power.
Even during his own first term most of those in power in his own executive were out to get him – not cover things up.
“I have very little doubt that many many wealthy and or powerful men have been doing bad things with Epstein.
I also have no doubt Trump was not one of them. ”
I think that your conclusion regarding Trump, specifically, is plausible. However, current appearances suggest that the Bondi/Patel/Bongino crew, or some power controlling them, are protecting a person or persons linked to Epstein, Maxwell, and their child trafficking operation. Do you think that is happening without Trump’s knowledge? Are there powerful persons being protected? If so, who are they, and why is this happening? Those are questions that absolutely demand answers, and wherever any negative consequences for those answers may fall, those will be richly deserved. I personally hope that everyone complicit in this disgusting child trafficking operation is justly punished, dies a prolonged, painful, horrible death (Epstein got off easy), and roasts for eternity in the flames of whatever H3lls may await an evil soul in any afterlife.
Justice Ketanji Jackson naturally is effervescent about being on SCOTUS to talk about her feelings. She is shallow, dim, self-absorbed, and quite the narcissist in an age where her people (Democrats) use violence to stoke fear in people. I have argued on these pages that America is a pagan nation. It appears I was being subtle
Philosopher Jacob Howland was on point when he wrote for The Tablet:
The scapegoating of Jews in the West is part and parcel of a rebarbarized culture, one that endorses political violence.

A recent Rutgers University poll found that “55 percent of all self-identifying ‘liberals’ believe killing is a justifiable means of pursuing their political goals”—and endows it with theological significance. If George Floyd’s death and subsequent canonization as a secular martyr justified the urban riots during which 2,000 police officers were injured, thousands of businesses and properties were looted and vandalized, and 17 people were killed, the sanctification of cold-blooded murder soon followed. After Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024, images appeared of Mangione with a halo, in a green mantle with a red sacred heart, under the title “Saint Luigi, Patron Saint of Healthcare Access for All.”
These developments underscore the global convergence of militant political and religious movements. Islamists have learned to speak the language of social justice activists, while far-left radicals have learned to frame ideological struggle as a holy war. Human life holds little value for either of them.

Dont count on Ketanji Brown to educate her people about how their violent ways stem from Marxism. She is not a biologist, not an intellectual, not a consensus builder, she appears to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
St Mother Teresa of Calcutta was prescient when she stated decades ago: “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.”
rebarbarized indeed. Pagan it is.
Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, aka Mother Teresa is one of the most evil individuals to ever walk the face of this earth.
This woman claimed to be a “friend of the poor”.
Actually, she was a “friend of poverty”
She was single handedly responsible for more misery and poverty in India than can possibly be imagined. She used to point to the orphanages she ran, and claim that this is how she fought against contraception and abortion. If she really wanted to relieve suffering in India she would have been PROVIDING contraception.
It has been shown repeatedly around the world in poor countries that the single greatest method of relieving poverty and suffering is to empower women by allowing them to control their own child bearing.
She pointed to the primitive medical clinics that she ran, which were really just hospices, and said that suffering is a gift from god.
However, when she herself needed medical care, she flew on a private jet to expensive private clinics in California, all paid for by the likes of Charles Keating, architect of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan fraud.
She was close friends with the infamous Haitian dictator Duvalier, who gave her millions of dollars that he had stolen from his impoverished nation.
She received millions of dollars from criminals and despotic dictators around the world, but there never appeared to be any improvement in her primitive “clinics” where people were simply allowed to suffer and die as a gift from god.
Where did the money go ???
She was a vile and reprehensible woman.
That she was raised to “sainthood” is an indictment of the vile and reprehensible catholic church that has arguably been the greatest source of human suffering and death in history.
🤡
Mother Teresa died 20+ years ago and she is still discussed, quoted and seen as saint You will be dead in 20+ years and no one will GAF

Remember, it is imbecile not embecile…
Historically-Illiterate-Anon,
RE: “…the greatest source of human suffering and death in history.” Your malevolence blinds you, and you’ve got it ALL WRONG!
The greatest source of human suffering and death in history is exclusively Marxist-Socialist, exactly what your democrat party “progressives” are now embracing: Marxist, socio-political reformers, not Catholics, have caused over 100-Million brutal deaths:
1) People’s Republic of China 65-Million
2) Soviet Union, 30_Million

I had very high hopes for Justice Jackson when I heard her acceptance speech. She has dashed all of them.
If you ever thought that Justice Can’t-Define-Woman was going to be something other than a disaster then you are a moron.
Justices are supposed to interrupt the Constitution. Justices are not political pundits. If Brown wants to give pollical not Constitutionial opinions she needs to resign from the Court and get a job at CNN or MSNBC. Biden now is not only the worst president ever, he has the dual honor of having appointment the worst Supreme Court Justice ever too.
Sorry that should have been interpret. Spell check got me again.
Perhaps, that was just a Freudian slip on your part, but KBJ does seem to interrupt the constitution…
Jonathan: When Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman, was nominated to the SC by Joe Biden the racists inside and out side Congress joined forces to oppose her nomination–falsely claiming she was unqualified because she was a “DEI hire”. Since joining the Court Jackson has proved a potent force against the right-wing majority. That’s why right-wing critics have continued to attack her. Your column is just the latest example– in calling her dissenting opinions “chilling jurisprudence”.
In her recent dissents Jackson is sounding the alarm about how the right-wing majority on the Court is giving carte blanche to the authoritarian DJT regime in its quest for absolute power–not only gutting government agencies authorized by Congress but in infringing on the constitutional rights of citizens and immigrants. In Trump v. CASA, striking down nationwide injunctions, Jackson pointed out that “the Court has cleared a path for the Executive to choose law-free action at this perilous moment for our Constitution–right when the Judiciary should be hunkering down to do all it can to preserve the law’s constraints”.
In her dissents Justice Jackson is writing for the American people and the ages. If our Democracy fails it will be because the highest court in the land gave a rubber stamp to the policies of a fascist regime. In her writings Jackson is telling the American people only they can prevent that!
Where on earth do you get this pig slop? Jackson is writing for 5th graders, judging by the quality of … (wait for it) … her opinions.
Well yo got one thing correct, Joe Biden the racist.
Dennis, Dennis, Dennis—stop making EVERYthing about “race,” and try to logically entertain this natural fact among all humans: not everyone is gifted with the same aptitudes and skills. It’s that simple.
The kind of objectivity and high-intelligence needed to reason in a branch of government invested with interpreting and construing law, is beyond Jackson’s skill level. For that, you can blame Harvard’s grade-inflation promoting Affirmative Action.
While her dissenting opinions provide the partisan issues (alarms) you favor, they are pedestrian, and they do not equate to “writing for the ages.” Your melodramatic assessment of Jackson is embarrassing—judiciaries do not “hunker down,” they reason.
Advice: Quit drinking soy milk.
Jackson’s oath says what? To uphold the law and defend the Constitution. She is doing neither.
And worse, she knows it. But! She feels entitled to express her righteous opinions about what she believes SHOULD be so.
Dam the law. Dam the constitution. Dam the torpedoes! Kentanji baby KNOWS what’s right and she gonna say it.
She’s a dumass leftist loon who should be NOWHERE near the highest court in the land.
Thank you. This FACT needs to be said over and over again.
Ketanji Jackson should not be on the Supreme Court. She’s a dumass DEI fool.
What an embarrassing disgrace.
“KBJ Keeps Showing America Why She Doesn’t Belong On SCOTUS”
By: Shawn Fleetwood
July 11, 2025
“When the time came to pick a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, then-President Joe Biden made it very clear that his selection would not be based on merit, but identity politics.”
“While Jackson’s antics are certainly unbecoming of a justice, they should actually be viewed as a positive development. For all the glowing media coverage trying to portray her as a bold, independent justice, the Biden appointee’s behavior makes it obvious that the only reason she’s on the high court — aside from her race and sex — is to push a left-wing agenda.”
“The more she opens her mouth and pens social justice warrior-style opinions, the more clear it becomes that she has no business being on the Supreme Court.”

Dear Professor Turley. I believe the quote you attribute to Justice Kagan, i.e.”Kagan joined in the reversal of Murphy’s conflicting order and wrote the new order “clarifies only one thing: Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial” is attributible to Justice Sotomeyer, rather than Justice Kagan.
In a prior topic you posted July 4, 2025, i.e. “Justice Kagan Joins Colleagues in Rebuking Liberal Boston Judge Over His Defiance of the Court” you indicate that Justice Kagan concluded “I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this Court has stayed.”
You’re right. That was Sotomayor. I pointed this out to him below, noting that Kagan was with the majority on that matter. He really should correct the article.
Asked what keeps her up at night, Jackson said, “the state of our democracy.”
Reminder: the “our democracy” phraseology is a signal that one is a left-wing lunatic or a member of the MSM.
But as to substance: she bemoans democracy’s presumably bad state, because Trump indicated what he planned to do if elected, the people elected him, and he’s doing the things he said he’d do. For intellectual lightweights like Jackson, “democracy” is only in a good state if the people cannot vote for their preferred policies, or if they do vote for them, the elected official does not do what the people elected him to do.
IOW, for her, democracy is only in a good state if democracy doesn’t work, which is the position of a mentally deranged person.
In stark contrast to the actual restricted-vote republic of the American Founders, who would have never allowed a one-man, one-vote democracy, which is the very “dictatorship of the proletariat (i.e. hired help)” of communism.
Whose country is this anyway?
It’s the fruit of affirmative action, ACTION. JFK went full speed ahead and it continued gaining speed with Johnson and then government exclusive hiring , Bakke decision and colleges and universities became the workforce. Jackson is AA. AA can claim Sotomayor and Kagan and overlaps Barrett.
Simply a dumbing down of government and colleges and this is the glorious product of your labor. The US took a head shot.
Get along as well as possible. Perhaps explore other countries. The simplest explanation is usually correct.
^^^^*
AA, affirmative action for 60 years transformed government and colleges. It mainly affected Latin and blacks so you’ll see more of Jackson and Sotomayors coming up. The Moslems have a footprint now as do Hindus. This is what you did. Cheer George and GG, the wicked witch is dead.
This is the fundamental destruction. It won’t change. It’s gone. Make a new plan for yourself perhaps but it’s done and perhaps Jesus Christ will pick you up after death and maybe not.
Thanks PT
Affirmative action, forced busing, forced integration, quotas, forcible “diversity,” “equity,” “inclusion” et al. are immutably unconstitutional.
The American thesis is freedom and self-reliance—merit—distinctly not “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
*. The worst thing AA did was that it deleted merit in Federal hiring, State hiring, government contracts and in colleges and universities. You’ve constructed a government of mediocrity and worse and without people of merit available as replacements.
If merit is diligently reinstated currently perhaps you can pull out of the nosedive and maybe not.
A serfs observation
I believe that if a liberal was in the WH today Jackson would consider resigning. She was gifted all of her positions throughout her gilded life and there was never any chance of being scrutinized the way she is being watched and read today. It must be embarrassing to be in such a position. Although when you are a radical and a narcissist you think the world is wrong.
Since the left wants to unmask all LEOs these days how about we learn who Jackson’s Law Clerks are? Who is helping Jackson write the drivel she is pushing into the history of Supreme Court decisions.
Her current law clerks should consider resigning before further damage is done to their career by continuing their association with her. Future candidate law clerks would be smart to seriously consider the potential damage to their career if they take the position, if offered. The truly sad part seems to be that neither Justice Jackson, and likely her law clerks too, do not realize what an embarrassment they are to the Court. In her recent opinion, Justice Barrett certainly did.
