While the Supreme Court’s 2024 term has come to an end, there’s one opinion that’s still generating widespread conversation within America’s political discourse.
In the high court’s Trump v. CASA decision nuking lower courts’ abuse of universal injunctions, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored what can best be described as an unhinged judicial temper tantrum. In a roughly 20-page dissent, the Biden appointee espoused furious indignation at the majority’s refusal to allow rogue district judges to unilaterally undermine the powers of the executive branch — a position which Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett characterized as “a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush.”
While Jackson’s left-wing advocacy on the high court is nothing new, her dissent in the case represents just how low the junior justice is willing to sink to use her position to advance an ideology wholly antithetical to America’s constitutional order.
