Supreme Showdown

“Justice Jackson skips over that part because analyzing the governing
statute involves boring legalese.” —Associate Justice Amy Coney
Barrett in the June 27, 2025, majority opinion in Trump v. CASA.

Within her new opinion, Justice Barrett deeply probed
the mind of Justice Jackson, who she totally disrobed,
exposing an ideologue who’s bored by legalese,
since she ignored all case law from the last two centuries.

She’s shown there is no precedent that she won’t over-ride,
and her dissent makes it quite clear how much that she decried
Imperial Executives, which on its face seems fair,
but in her mind, no Judge should be constrained; they never err.

She previously told us all she’s no Biologist,
and Legal Scholar can be added to the growing list
of things she can’t do, but we must accept what she opines
until she dies, or gets embarrassed so that she resigns.

    Great poem on Justice Jackson of why she never should have been on the Supeme Court. Clearly presented with arrows to the heart of the matter!

    I agree fully with Roy — this is a great poem which accurately skewers Ketanji Brown Jackson — a DEI hire who met Biden’s criteria for race and gender but whose politics are unthinkingly leftist and whose legal acumen is utterly flaccid. That she has a vote on matters of immense consequence is embarrassing and frightening. This is what the left continually tries to inflict on us — identity at the expense of competence. What they can never seem to see is that their much vaunted sense of “enlightened compassion” is simply cover for an insidious normalizing of social engineering. I wish they would grow up.
