    1. LOUDER! Good for her. Others should be screaming the same thing. Fuck John Roberts and the other conservative justices.

      You mean she tells the truth about the federalist society right wing puppets?

    3. **From reporter Paul Blumenthal:**

      [Supreme Court](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/supreme-court) justices routinely trade barbs in their opinions and dissents, but it’s pretty rare for a sitting justice to plainly state that their colleagues are merely a bunch of partisan hacks. But that’s essentially what Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did [in her dissent](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/25a103_kh7p.pdf#page=16) in a case about President [Donald Trump](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump)’s cancellation of National Institutes of Health grants.

      The court’s split decision in National Institutes of Health v. American Public Health Association on Thursday focused on whether the association, 16 states and other plaintiffs could challenge Trump’s cancellation of the grants as “arbitrary and capricious” under the Administrative Procedure Act, the law governing how executive branch agencies may take actions.

      Here’s a link to the full article: [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jackson-slams-supreme-court-hacks_n_68a88adce4b0d5177bea185d?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=us_main](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jackson-slams-supreme-court-hacks_n_68a88adce4b0d5177bea185d?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=us_main)

      The *sole* value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one’s perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.

      To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on the bottom [of social hierarchy] to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top. The first greatest injustice is for those on top to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom.

      „Know your place“ is their mantra.

      They are Heritage Foundation stooges. Heritage Foundation has their claws in nearly every corner of American Politics now and they are the ones who are really running the country. Everyone’s focused on Trump but he’s just a clown in makeup doing an act and signing whatever they put in front of him while strings are being pulled by the Heritage Foundation. FFS, they control the GOP majority state governments across the nation too, just through more „local“ lobbying firms and the legal firms that support them.

      There’s a massively complex web of influence that runs the GOP and right now it seems all roads lead to the Heritage Foundation. Where it goes from there, who knows but my bet is it’s not in the United States.

      If you live in a GOP state there’s a very good chance your government is being run by the Heritage Foundation in some way or another.

      So slammed she’s doomed to a life of writing dissents that the conservatives are partisan hacks while they continue making precedent she won’t have any influence over.

    7. A bunch of us have been saying that for years. I’m glad to see it validated by someone with authority on the subject.

    8. They rule based on bribes and gifts. Unfortunately morality, ethics, and doing the right thing isn’t financially well off enough to give justices RVs, crypto payments, and fishing trips in exchange for favors.

      The court lacks integrity.
      There is a lack of candor among the justices.
      Justices misled at best ,or lied, during their confirmation processes (on Roe).

      Thomas lacks integrity including with respect to his financial reports, flights, his vacation trips, and his RV loan forgiveness.

      Alito lacks integrity including with respect to his financial reports, flights, his vacation trips, and his „stop the steal“ associated flag

      Gorscuh lacks integrity including with respect to his financial reports, selling property disclosures, accepting the nomination after the (republican) senates unscrupulous delay during the Obama administration

      Kavanaugh lacks integrity including with respect to his credibly accused sexual assaults and sham of FBI investigation, and financial debt repayments

      Barrett lacks integrity including with respect to accepting her nomination after voting had started

    10. Ok-Chart-9307 on

      That’s because they are and we’re stuck with them until they die or retire.

    11. turb0_encapsulator on

      they all committed perjury in their confirmation hearing when asked about Roe, so they all should be impeached when real American take our country back.

      I fear for her safety but she’s 100% right and I’m glad people are finally starting to come out and call out the far-right for what they are.

    13. Everyone already knew that which was why so many people were frustrated that guys like Biden didn’t do anything about it when he was in power.

      The Dems had their collective heads stuck in the sand for more than a decade on this issue. They slow-walked the country into this mess by refusing to fight the obvious power grab. It’s one reason that so many people abstained from voting Democrat. They keep claiming to be for the people, but their actions have consistently shown tacit complicity.

      The conservative justices have been bought. And they are gonna deliver for Donny the Nazi.

    15. DarthHaruspex on

      She DID NOT SAY THIS.

      Read the article. 

      This sort of „I’m going to put the words that I want to hear a person say in their mouth“ in an article where they in fact do not say this needs to effing‘ end.

      The Democratic-Republic has always been saved and made great by hyphenated Americans.

      „Real Americans, like the MAGAt regime just aren’t cut out for the responsibility that comes with citizenship.

      “Calvinball jurisprudence” … Calvin and Hobbes reference dropped in a supreme court opinion. Nice one, KBJ.

    18. acrylicsunrise on

      These troglodyte conservative judges shouldn’t be allowed to even clerk in a court

    19. kinkgirlwriter on

      > “This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”

    20. Am I misreading or did ACB simultaneously find that you can and cannot bring this claim in federal district court?

    21. InfinityComplexxx on

      Not just partisan hacks, at least Alito and Thomas have blatant corruption allegations against them, and all the GOP Justices should be removed for perjury for removing Roe after they swore they wouldn’t. 

    22. Sublimotion on

      Conservative ~~Justices~~ Politicians sitting on a Supreme Court chair cosplaying in judge robes.

    23. No_Hall_2467 on

      Good way to get press and more free vacations with billionaires on their yachts 

    24. Totally missed the lede: „Calvin Ball Jurisprudence“.

      To wit:

      >“This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”
