Sotomayor Had To Explain The Law To KBJ Like She Was A 5th Grader
"And, and now Sotomayor had to say something similar, a little kinder, but basically it was, okay, Justice Jackson, I’m gonna explain this to you like you’re a fifth grader. Here’s why we need to grant the stay."

"Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was severely castigated and mocked by the 6-3 majority in the “birthright citizenship” (aka “universal injunction”) case for her Dissent which the normally staid Amy Coney Barrett (joined by five other Justices) termed “at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.” No other Justice, not even Sotomayor or Kagan, joined in KJB’s dissent, which contained numerous KBJ-isms: I’ll meet your “(wait for it)” and raise you a “full stop”.
"KJB is carving out as niche among liberals as the “Great Dissenter” – but her dissents are so shallow that in the recent case in which the majority (8-1) stayed a district court order halting the mere planning for layoffs, Sotomayor had to spell out for KBJ why her solo dissent was legally unsound (emphasis added):" . . .
"The Gentle Grizzly commented: It warms the cockles of my heart to see places like Harvard dunging people like Jackson, or that Boston University graduating somebody like AOC. Certainly pierces the balloon of those fancy lah de dah colleges."
Ketanji Fatigue . . ."The most surprising aspect of the majority’s agreed-upon shaming of Jackson’s “legal reasoning,” if such it can be called, is that it took so long to publish something of the sort. While campaigning for the White House in 2020, Joe Biden promised to nominate a “black woman” to any potential Supreme Court vacancy, should he win the election, thus denoting Jackson as an obvious DEI hire when she was nominated to the Court in 2022." . . .
