@TonyStark When people say there's no difference between #Republicans and #Democrats, this is the obvious answer: judges! Can anyone really think there's no difference between #KetanjiBrownJackson and #SamuelAlito?
#samuelalito #ketanjibrownjackson #democrats #republicans
The vote was 5 to 4, w/ #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts & Justice #AmyConeyBarrett joining the court’s 3 liberal members — Justices Sonia #Sotomayor, Elena #Kagan & #KetanjiBrownJackson — to form a majority.
Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito, Neil #Gorsuch & Brett #Kavanaugh noted #dissents. Like the justices in the majority, they did not explain their reasoning.

Required reading by Alfre Woodard of her 29 page dissent.
"The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end affirmative action in college admissions has rocked the country and pitted liberal and conservative justices against each other. Award-winning actress Alfre Woodard reads every word of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s scathing dissent where she calls the decision a “tragedy for us all”."

I think she is brilliant!
In First Supreme Court Term, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ‘Came to Play’ - The New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/07/us/supreme-court-ketanji-brown-jackson.html
>The first Black female member of the Supreme Court wasted no time in finding her footing, asserting herself in dissents, alliances and questions from the bench.

«During a term largely defined by cases involving #race, #KetanjiBrownJackson — the 1st #Black woman 2 serve as a justice — repeatedly voiced a full-throated defense o race-conscious measures 2 remedy #discrimination. As a former #PublicDefender, she proved closely attuned 2 the arguments o criminal defendants, perhaps more so than any other #justice. & she took on a prominent role during the court’s oral arguments, speaking far more than any of her colleagues.»

In his concurring opinion, #Justice #ClarenceThomas wrote: '#AffirmativeAction hi-lights our racial differences w/ pernicious effect, as under our Constitution, race is irrelevant.'
Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson opposing: 'Gulf-sized race-based gaps created in the distant past exist & have been indisputably passed dn thru the generations w/ respect to the health, wealth, & well-being of #American citizens. Every moment these gaps persist our great country falls short of true equality.' #SCOTUS

by #MarkJosephStern in #Slate:
"[I]n a direct response to the incandescent dissents by Sotomayor and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Roberts’ opinion leaves some room for admissions officers to undertake what might be called a 'holistic review' of each applicant, including their racial identity as it relates to their life experiences. A 'holistic review,' however, was already required by the precedents that Roberts effectively overturned on Thursday. Thus, the decision substitutes one vague regime with an even more ambiguous one—inviting, as Sotomayor noted, 'a plethora of litigation” that will “promote chaos' rather than establishing a workable new order."

"With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces 'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life"

The #SCOTUS justices that led the Roe vs Wade overturn are regularly bribed by #billionaires. As you drive across state lines for your #abortion reflect on that. And even imagine for a moment if it were #KetanjiBrownJackson that accepted a #private jet ride to a #luxury $1k/nite fishing vacation in remote #Alaska.

By #LeahLitman in #Slate:
"As a result of this opinion, people with illegal convictions and sentences—people who are legally innocent—will be stuck in prison for no good reason because the courts screwed up, not because they did. The law certainly did not require this result. And the Jones debacle carries a few warnings about the nightmare at One First Street."

Sure hoping this precedent is prescient.
#SCOTUS just turned dn red states’ request to blow up Medicaid in 7–2 decision by Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson, her most important opinion to date. Even tho altho Justice #ClarenceThomas wholeheartedly embraced the theory on the basis of fraudulent, ahistorical pseudo-scholarship.
These #GOP controlled states, led by #Indiana, sought to gut the enforcement of countless rights secured by #Congress .
