Genteel. Restrained.
Those descriptives often are applicable in Supreme Court opinions when factions, a majority and a dissent, disagree.
It sometimes moves toward the critical, such as when Chief Justice John Roberts and others, disagreeing with the leftist majority at that time that fabricated out of nothing a “right” to same-sex marriage pointed out that there was nothing in the Constitution supporting that scheme.
But all of a sudden, the rantings of Ketanji Jackson, the leftist nominated by Joe Biden who confirmed her lack of ability by assuring senators at her confirmation hearing that she was unable even to define “woman,” are generating a reaction.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Among the paragraphs in the majority opinion on Friday that said entry-level court judges in the federal judiciary have been exercising powers they are not given by the Constitution through their nationwide injunctions, giving President Donald Trump a court victory that could reverberate for presidencies, were the following:
“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.”
And, “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.”
It is in a commentary at the Federalist that the writings of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who authored the majority opinion, were cited as taking “a flamethrower to KBJ’s reality-challenged dissent.”
A fight over birthright citizen prompted the court case, as the president challenged the multiple lower-court nationwide injunctions issued, but the justices did not comment on the birthright dispute, which now will return to its progression in the court system.
“Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has never been one to shy away from engaging in left-wing political activism while on the bench. And now, it appears some of her Supreme Court colleagues are growing tired of it,” the commentary said.
“In its Friday ruling nuking lower courts’ nationwide injunctions against President Trump’s birthright citizenship order, the high court’s majority took a verbal flamethrower to Jackson’s dissenting opinion. As if she were echoing the writing style of legacy media hacktivists, the wannabe Broadway star — who ‘struggl[es] to understand’ a lot of issues that come before the Court — dramatically declared that the majority’s ‘decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.’”
Barrett noted that Jackson’s dissent, “chooses a startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever.”
She blasted Jackson for adopting the positions of those who believe in a judicial supremacism, that “the judiciary is superior to the other branches of government.”
The opinion includes, “Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power as a ‘mind-numbingly technical query,’ post, at 3 (dissenting opinion), [Jackson] offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush. In her telling, the fundamental role of courts is to ‘order everyone (including the Executive) to follow the law—full stop.’”
The majority opinion explained the court’s most junior justice “appears to believe that the reasoning behind any court order demands ‘universal adherence,’ at least where the Executive is concerned.”
The opinion also notes that Jackson apparently doesn’t do the requisite analysis of the law, as it involves “legalese.”
It took literally no time at all for those doing satire online to walk through the door that had been opened. From the satire site the Babylon Bee:
