Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a blistering dissent against the Supreme Court's decision to allow President Donald Trump to resume mass federal layoffs. On Tuesday (July 8), the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 to stay a lower court decision that temporarily blocked the Trump administration from implementing mass layoffs across the federal government,

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in a Supreme Court order handed down on Tuesday stood out enough that it prompted one of her liberal colleagues to voice disagreement with her.

It is patently clear now (if it weren’t all the way back to the dueling historical narratives in Heller) that this is an exercise in bad history and cherry-picking. Why pretend otherwise? Those now ascendant didn’t indulge the old majorities by using their frames when dissenting and instead used them to build a cadre of fellow travelers.

Compared to Thomas, Jackson is a breath of fresh air. As one of the youngest members on the court, she often uses her platform to connect with all Americans.
