Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson 8-1 smackdown

[The Hill via Town Hall] The Trump administration clinched another win today, with the Supreme Court shredding a restraining order on a rogue lower court’s ruling that prevented the government from reorganizing its workforce. For now, the mass layoffs that were put on hold are back on (via The Hill):

The ruling was 8-1, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting. Yet, as Justice Amy Coney Barrett did in the Casa decision, which curtailed lower court’s national injunction power, Jackson got cooked in the opinion, only it was by Sonia Sotomayor—she had to remind Jackson that the Court can only opine on what’s been presented before them, not what they think is being presented before the body.

And if RBG had just stepped down and let Obama appoint her successor, this didn't have to happen. But no, she HAD to step down under Hillary so a woman could appoint a woman.
Oops.
Hubris, it's not just for Greek tragedies.

#4 ...It';s unlikely for a lot of reasons - but I'd laugh my backside off if Justice Jackson got so po'd at these rebukes that she quit before the midterms...and Trump got to appoint ANOTHER justice.

#6 Jackson thinks she's been appointed to make it all up as she seems fit. A product of the 'living Constitution' BS promoted in too many law schools. That's not about law, that's about power.
