Justice Alito Explains That Justice Jackson Is An Idiot. Good.

In one SCOTUS case after another, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a demented President’s irresponsible DEI selection for our highest court, has demonstrated an absence of judicial integrity, or, in the alternative, intellectual ability. Her questions in oral argument have been incoherent, and her legal reasoning is regularly polluted by obvious partisan bias. She is, in short, an embarrassment to the Court, the nation, the judiciary, the law, her race, her gender, and her party. Finally, following an extreme example of Jackson’s incompetence, Justice Samuel Alito came as close to calling her an idiot as a Supreme Court Justice can within the limits of professional civility.

It’s about time.

The Supreme Court last night granted a request to lock in its opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, discussed on EA here and here, where the Court struck down a congressional gerrymander as racially discriminatory in breach of federal law. The decision allows Louisiana to draw a new map in time for the 2026 mid-term elections. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole dissenter in the 8-1 decision to eschew the delay. Jackson’s fatuously argued that the Court’s ruling “has spawned chaos in the State of Louisiana.”

Yes, chaos is often the result when a state is trying to do something unconstitutional and is blocked.

  1. These DEI hires cause massive problems with racism in this country and our current leadership issues. It is stated that people like Jackson and Kamala Harris were not selected because of race and sex, but because they were the best people for the job. The same people also state that they were selected because of their race and sex. You would have to assume, however, that they would have been selected because they were the best person with the right race and sex available. If so, what does it say about black women if Ketanji Brown Jackson is the most capable black female judge in America? What does it say about black women if Kamala Harris is the most capable black female politician in America? Do I believe that is true? No, I HAVE to believe it is not true or I have to lose all hope in this country. However, the ‘good’, ‘nonracist’ Democrats are claiming it is true. How will people react to this? What if they actually believe the Democrats who are claiming that Ketanji Brown Jackson is the best black female judge in America? She graduated cum laude from Harvard Law? Do they just decide that all black Americans are just as ‘talented’ or worse than Jackson? Do they think that all these black professionals have been passed through because of their race and are incompetent, incapable of even modest ability compared to other races? Can you really condemn them if they think this? What does that do for long term race relations?

    • I wonder what the procedure is for censuring a justice; I suspect that only Congress has the power to censure Supreme Court justices, as Congress also has the power to impeach federal judges. I do not think that censuring a Supreme Court Justice has ever happened.

      I also wonder whether stupid dissents by a justice constitute ethics violations severe enough to give grounds for an official censure. Bias may be a ground, and KBJ has bias.

      My take: we are simply stuck with Ketanji Brown Jackson without remedy.

      The Supreme Court as an institution has been irreparably damaged by the partisanship regarding the appointment of federal judges since Roe v Wade especially after the Bork hearings. Given recent comments from James Carville about packing SCOTUS I am afraid there is more damaging of SCOTUS to come.

    AI Overview

    Formal censure of U.S. Supreme Court Justices is exceptionally rare in American history because the primary method for holding them accountable is congressional impeachment, not legislative censure. While many justices have faced intense criticism, scandals, or ethics questions, no Supreme Court justice has ever been formally censured by Congress. Federal Judicial Center | (.gov) +1

    Historical Incidents and Formal Discipline Attempts 

    • Samuel Chase (1804–1805): The only Supreme Court Justice to be impeached by the House of Representatives. Chase was charged with arbitrary and oppressive conduct of trials, but he was acquitted by the Senate, establishing a precedent against removing judges solely for political reasons.
    • Abe Fortas (1969): While not formally censured, Fortas resigned under pressure following a scandal regarding a retainer from a financier who might have had business before the Court, marking the first time a justice resigned due to an ethics issue.
    • Samuel Alito (2024): A resolution to censure Justice Alito was introduced in the House of Representatives, citing ethical concerns over political symbols displayed at his homes and alleged conflicts of interest.
    • Clarence Thomas (Ongoing): Justice Thomas has faced intense scrutiny and calls for resignation or investigation regarding undisclosed lavish vacations and gifts from a donor. Congressman Steve Cohen (.gov) +2

    Mixed feelings on actually trying to censure or impeach KBJ, yet another gift of the Democrats

  3. And just when I was writing the previous comment I noticed the following tweet from Rep. Olszewski (D-MD). My recommendation to Rep. Olszewski would be to propose term limits for Congress instead; after this passes we may talk about term limiting judges.

    I asked Google AI Overview for arguments against term limits for SCOTUS, and the response was “Arguments against Supreme Court term limits focus on maintaining judicial independence, ensuring legal stability, and avoiding increased politicization. Key concerns include undermining the separation of powers, encouraging justices to “audition” for future employment, and the immense difficulty of amending the Constitution to enact such changes“.

  4. It’s time for President to announce that he wants to increase SCOTUS from 9 to 13 Justices.

    I bet enough Democrat heads would explode to cause the Potomac to run red for a week.

    • As a troll, or for serious? You will understand that this will the Democrats cover if they try to increase the size of the Supreme Court for political reasons.

      • For trolling. I don’t think the Court needs expanded, but I think it’s a perfect place to again display the hypocrisy of the Left…and watch them squeal as they’re hoisted with their own petard.

        And frankly, if Democrats were to expand the Court to 11, a subsequent Republican could propose expanding it to 15, or 21, or 57, or 513. Where does it stop?
