The Supreme Court ruled Monday its prior ruling on race-based congressional districts takes immediate effect. The order {SEE HERE} speeds up the normal 32-day timeline and puts the State of Louisiana on notice their current districts are not constitutional.
Effectively the Louisiana Governor and legislature have delayed the election to address the districts. However, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was not happy with the immediacy ruling and wrote a dissent that was so ridiculous none of the other minority justices would sign on to it. Jackson said the majority “unshackles itself” from “constraints.” The court should follow the default rule, she insisted.
As noted by Politico, Justice Samuel Alito responded to Jackson’s accusation of political bias in a concurring opinion supported by Justices Clarence Thomas and Niel Gorsuch. Alito wrote that by suggesting that “running out the clock” by following the court’s default procedures may indicate bias “on behalf of those who may find it politically advantageous to have the election occur under the unconstitutional map.”
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has delayed the primary so state Republicans could get to work on a new map.
“Bananas” 🤗
KBJ goes bananas….
Now THAT’s punny.
The GOP is doing the same thing in Congress with the Save Act. Maybe they will pass it so late that the Dems win the House back and impeach Trump again.
Poor KBJ, I’ve seen several people in my life who managed to get themselves into positions that were way above their skill level.
It’s always kind of embarrassing, if not for them because of their huge ego, then certainly for the rest of us who have to witness it.
Well, it’s better than going apeshit.
Sounds like the other Justices on the Court are finally having their fill of her bullstuff.
They said KBJ’s claim that they were being political was “baseless and insulting,” as well as “groundless and irresponsible.” That’s judicial-speak for calling her a stupid jerk.
She has no business being on that Court, and not just because she is unspeakably stupid. She was put there by someone who was not elected President. In a fair country, every last thing Autopen did would be reversed. It would be like watching a movie in reverse motion.
Will not be the last time that KBJ will jump the bench.
Cannot help it… too much of that leftist activism in the blood and not enough sense to not do it.
Should not forget that she has risen beyond the heights of her own incompetence.
This oxygen thief suffers from chronic cranial rectal inversion!
Geriatric joe’s black dei hire needs to resign, she insists on legislating from the bench and is a disgrace to the rule of law, the Constitution and our Republic. Attacking other SCOTUSs publicly should be grounds for removal… kagan included
God bless our Republic
