Justice Alito's Just Took Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Cleaners
It’s official: the Louisiana congressional maps
are released. The Supreme Court issued its decision last night, striking
down the maps at the center of the Louisiana v. Callais case, which
limited the use of Section II of the Voting Rights Act, allowing the
creation of congressional districts based on racial quotas.
While not officially gutting the VRA, it does open the door for the
entire South to be redistricted without fear of lawsuits. Not officially
struck down, but narrowed to the point of erasure is accurate. The
Callais case involved a map struck down under the VRA, later revised to
create a majority-black district, which was also challenged, and where
the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional.
Now, with this
judgment, there was a harsh rebuke of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s
dissent, where Justice Alito, in an academic tone, essentially called
her a reckless clown who doesn’t understand the law. We’ve seen a
similar attitude on the liberal side as well, with Justices Kagan or
Sotomayor disagreeing with the majority but avoiding Jackson’s dissents
since they usually don’t make much sense. It led to a barrel of laughs
on social media:

and insulting" and "utterly irresponsible" after she accused the
majority of abandoning principle for power. pic.twitter.com/cfSGyWcuC7
They
all realize KBJ’s completely incompetent. Even the liberals. The worst
president in any of our lives, Joe Biden, also gave us the worst Supreme
Court justice, KBJ, in any of our lives. Thanks, Joe. https://t.co/IMlcSYO63f
