Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, confirmed to the Supreme Court in 2022, has long since worn out her welcome.
Indeed, add Justice Samuel Alito to the list of people fed up with former President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court DEI appointment.
Alito issued a scathing opinion that featured five insults rarely hurled by one justice toward another.
For context, in a landmark decision handed down on Wednesday, theSupreme Courtinvalidated racial gerrymandering.
In the case of Louisiana v. Callais, et al. (“Callais”), a 6-3 majority ruled that the 1965 Voting Rights Act does not require Louisiana to add a new majority-black district to its newest congressional map, and that the Voting Rights Act, in fact, prohibits such districts designed to produce electoral outcomes based on skin color.
Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, approved the application to issue the Supreme Court’s judgment forthwith.
Even the approval of that application, however, inspired a petulant dissent from Jackson.
In short, Jackson complained that Louisiana Republican Gov. Jeff Landry and a three-judge lower court had already acted to bring Louisiana into compliance with the Callaisdecisiondespite the fact that the Supreme Court had yet to issue its certified ruling.
“Apparently, neither the Governor nor the three-judge court viewed themselves as limited by the fact that this Court had yet to issue its certified judgment in these cases; in the ordinary course, we do not do so until at least 32 days after the opinion is released,” Jacksonwrote.
Three paragraphs later came the first passage that no doubt rankledAlitoand his fellow conservative justices.
