Ketanji Brown Jackson unsurprisingly sided with the two other radical leftists on the Supreme Court in the no-brainer CASA decision confirming that district court judges do not have authority to hamstring the executive branch so that it cannot govern. Amy Coney Barrett has had enough, writing that Ketanji…

…chooses a startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever. Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power as a ‘mind-numbingly technical query’ … she offers a vision of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of judicial supremacy blush.

She has also been making the most ardent defenders of DEI blush.

Barrett suggested that Jackson either believes that universal injunctions are appropriate whenever a defendant is part of the executive branch — a position that “goes far beyond the mainstream defense of universal injunctions” — or, “more extreme still,” that “the reasoning behind any court order demands ‘universal adherence,’ at least where the Executive is concerned.” …

Barrett proceeded to insinuate that former President Joe Biden’s DEI appointee was ignorant of the relevant American legal history and precedent and may have skipped analysis of relevant readings because they involved “boring ‘legalese.'”

Judge Ketanji is there to be a left-wing black woman, not to wade through tedious and for her probably incomprehensible legalese. Her jurisprudence can be summed up in her favorite phrase: “I don’t understand.”

What is needed now is a ruling on whether the cognitively subnormal are qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.
