    I love how outspoken and defiant Brown is

    Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the court to record a dissent. She said President Donald Trump is unleashing a “wrecking ball” on the federal government, and she slammed the court’s majority for its “demonstrated enthusiasm for greenlighting this President’s legally dubious actions in an emergency posture.”

    Jackson, a Biden appointee, said her colleagues were inappropriately reinterpreting Illston’s findings, noting that appeals courts are supposed to adhere to a lower court’s conclusions about disputed facts. Lower courts have better command of the facts at this early stage in the litigation, she wrote in a 15-page dissent.

    8 - 1 ruling, what happened to 6 - 3? Did Clarence Thomas even get a vacation outta this?

      Does “only recorded dissent” mean she’s the only one voting against it, or that she’s the only one leaving feedback with the case?

      He only needs to be bribed when he might not be sure about a decision. When it comes to doing harm, he’s already all in.

      Interview questions:

      “How much do you love God King Emperor Trump our savior?”

      “Which is better: one dead Democrat, many dead Democrats, all of the above?”

      “If asked to violate the law and your own mother at the command of God King Emperor Trump our savior, how quickly would you carry out the order?”

      “On a scale of pure snow, to bleached flour, how white are you?”

      “Hitler did nothing wrong. This isn’t actually a question.”

    Glad I work for a state agency. I’ve been encouraging friend from my previous company to do the same. Good protections, streamlined work.
