Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire
“Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”
I feel so bad for her, Sotomayor and Kagan, rising to the top of judicial jurisprudence only to find it’s full of corruption, criminality and no ethics
Why was she alone is that dissent is my question ugh!
Justice Jackson is giving us a front-row seat to what happens when legal proceedings descend into complete disorder. Unbelievable coverage.
The supremely corrupt court is supremely corrupt. All the men and Anti-Choicey Barrett are criminals
I dare say Ketanji Brown Jackson has ascended to National Treasure status.
She doesn’t have to say it, we know it is!!
I’m glad, we need people like her who are willing to stand up and point out this is all bullshit. The conservatives are just making it up as they go along and doing what suits their agenda. The fact that none of the other liberal justices joined her dissent is shameful.
I love her so much! Thank you justice Jackson! True heroine in my eyes!
It has to be very weird for her. She’s watching a judicial coup from inside
💙🙏💙
“…members of the public and coordinate branches of government have accepted Supreme Court rulings because they assumed, from the outside looking in, that it is a legitimate body to be taken seriously.
Jackson is showing why it is not.”
(Deeply courageous!! All respect to Justice Jackson!! 🇺🇸❤️)
Hang in there. We need you!!!
If I were Justice Jackson, I would be sorry I was confirmed to this miserable treasonous court.
May God protect and bless Justice Jackson. She must be so tired
Now that they have six votes why bother putting effort into making rulings look real? The conservative justices can just announce whatever they want
She didn't, IMO, stop short. Just did so with a degree of decorum. But I appreciate her candor.
How many more smart Black Females in positions of Authority have to be attacked or fired before there’s some kind of Civil Rights action against the racist adjudicated rapist?
Gov Lisa Cook, the only Female Black member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, is his latest lynching. So gross!
KBJ is the only Supreme Court Justice that I actually trust.
Give yourself some time, KBJ, for the right moment to let them have it!
A voice calls from the wilderness.
She must hate going to work each day, having to deal with those six corrupt traitors. Ugh. I feel for her.
Thank you for this article. I am SO THANKFUL for a SANE Justice Jackson on the bench!
How many days before the FBI show up at her house?
You will never get rid of trump until you get rid of a few of the Supreme Court judges.
Irreparably broken, zero credibility to enforce our Constitution. Trump may claim another institution destroyed, I’ll assume Putin is paying bonuses.
We need 8 more of her on SCOTUS.
Damn, when I see her in photos —I get superstitious. If I met her I’d probably want to dance around her burning a smudge stick or make her carry a vial of holy water. I can’t help but think of EVIL she is surrounded with. I gotta pray for her. I could not do it. Keep her in the light, Lord.
Calvinball but rigged! I died
Calvinball. She could not have nailed it more succinctly.
I’m starting to wonder if they’ll find a way to remove her. We’re almost at the “telling the truth will not be tolerated” stage.
Justice Jackson has the bravery to speak with frank honesty. It's clear the legitimatacy of the Supreme Court has been wilfully eroded by the majority of the Justices choosing 47 over the Constitution, hence your people. The harm said Justices are inflicting is immeasurable and will have dire 1/
She's a hero: smart, articulate, brave & courageous. The GOP majority are not justices; they are politicians. Their plan is to align with Trump's authoritarian goals & grotesque bigotry. They clearly don't give a damn about real people who are hurt, sickened, attacked or killed by their decisions.
She means the Republican 6 on the court.
She is doing the hard job of documenting the gross abuses being carried out by the court, so there is a trail to unwind the madness.
📌
She's my hero. Go, Justice Jackson!
Justice Jackson is obviously a reader of @rubenbolling.bsky.social and his 'Donald and John' cartoons.
“Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”
The Supreme Court is illegitimate.
Given the Bolton news today, do John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett think they are untouchable?
it's actually better. she is like wow. grateful for her every day.
If this were a corporate job Justice Jackson would quit not wanting to deal this BS
Thank God she's there
The Supremely Corrupt 6 strike again.
Great article.
Justice Jackson is the smartest person on the court and it is not even near close.
I love her even more for the Calvin and Hobbes reference
We know. And we're so sorry for you having to sit with 6 of them.
But John Roberts stands ready to again scold all of us for daring to question his Court's legitimacy.
I feel the worst for her. What a shitshow of deep corruption she’s witnessing. History will treat her as a hero fortunately. She knows her writing will be in the history books, rightfully.
Decades of putting money over the Constitution...over Our Rights and hopes for a more perfect union. They make shit up...!!! Absolute Immunity... Essentially they're fascists serving the Trillionaire Class... They, essentially, reinstalled trump.
I read her dissents and they can only be interpreted as “these clowns are on some fuckshit.”
I would have been expelled from it if I was a democratic supreme Judge, I would get physical and jump and hurt one of those 6 Maga Judges mother fuckers, every time they vote as insanely as they've been doing
Apt photo choice
It had to be disappointing for her to be honored with life tenure in one of the most powerful organizations on earth and finding it populated primarily by racist, retrograde hillbillies.
I love her more after ‘Calvinball’
I’ve always felt sorry for her. She gets her dream job and can’t do what’s she’s supposed to do.
Well this isn’t terrifying is it
She doesn't have to say it. She has 6 "collogues" that are screaming it with every POS decision they hand down.
Now this is a profile in courage.
An actual individual right in the middle of the vortex of an absolutely Corrupt Supreme Court.
And she’s dissenting and saying the quiet parts out loud.

In this explosive article, French historian Françoise Thom highlights the close relationship between the late financier Jeffrey Epstein and the father of his
Black women, sigh
We need to make sure she is protected.
We need NOI or the Panthers posted up outside her house.
In my opinion, the SCOTUS shitpot has been overflowing ever since Chief Roberts was confirmed!
She's supporting a proud tradition.
I could not imagine reaching the highest position in your profession & being disillusioned by 2/3 of your co workers while wondering which ones are compromised & to what extent.
I hope her children are protected.
Fabulous dissent.
Thank god for her ❤️
My mind and heart ache for what she has to do...
📌
They got the point
She's right, of course, and invoking Calvinball earns her my eternal devotion.
This blunt Supreme Court justice signal flare would be one of the most shocking developments of the decade if it weren’t for the 1,000 other shocking things Trump has already done or directly influenced.
Pres. Biden's single term was the most legislatively successful & effective of any of our lifetimes but his most historic achievement may well end up having been to appoint Justice Jackson to the Supreme Court. She is REMARKABLE.
if there’s any hope of fixing or abolishing this decrepit, evil institution, we need lifelong institutionalists like her to publicly wave the white flag like this. good shit
All because Americans had no clue what electing a criminal 2 times would do to the Supreme Court and this country for years to come. The damage is going to hurt every single middle class amd even upper middle class American for decades to come. Way to screw your own selves, electorate.
Why can’t we get rid of the Trump ass kissers?
Brilliant.
"Calvinball Roberts".
🌟⭐️🌟
This is the INCORRECT way to be breathtaking, and someone should tell those creepos they'll NEVER be breathtaking in the correct way.
Oh say it, girl, there are four old white men who think they are god's gift to the rest of us, and one seriously self-hating black man....so let it loose girl....we certainly feel you....
maybe someday john roberts will croak and she can be made chief justice by a dem president and senate
I can’t even fathom what it has to be like for them on that corrupt court right now.
Love her! She’s all I expected and more. Let’s hope she won’t be a voice in the wilderness much longer. We have all got to find a way to get rid od this traitorous administration, and eventually, the the traitorous “judges” on the Court.
I appreciate her chronicling America's descent into fascism
I'm dismayed to imagine what her last entry will be
I can't imagine what it's like to sit on this court. It must be pure hell. You can't leave because the country needs you. And you know who will be nominated in your place. All you can do is express yourself while staying professional.
Thank God she's there.
It wouldn't even surprise me if this SC ruled that Republicans could gerrymander but Democrats can't.
Excellent piece. Jackson doesn’t suffer fools and her sharp honesty about the situation is a warning to us all.
She doesn’t have to say it. We know.
THIS IS A HEADLINE FOR THE AGES
Sitting on the trump court must be so infuriating for her. I hope she experiences a real Supreme Court before she retires.
I have so much admiration and gratitude for Justice Jackson and I feel so bad for her that this is her era on the Court
A true Supreme Court Justice
We all know its five Republifuk members are breathtakingly full of shit.
Yes your honor, we are very well aware of that!
Her expression says it all... 😅 Do you think the current problem with the Supreme Court is due to strong personal stances, or is it that the entire system itself has deviated from its original intention?
Stay safe Justice Jackson. 🫡🫡🫡
For anyone with decent reading comprehension, I don't think she stopped just short of anything.
She might not have used the exact phrasing but she said it pretty clearly.
I went to the US Supreme website and left a note basically saying the same thing (for the sixth time this year)
Of course, they will have a Project 2025 intern read the thing
For those younger readers who may not be familiar with Calvin and Hobbs, or Calvinball:
Calvinball is a fairly unique invention in Calvin and Hobbes, but it is somewhat simple to understand the game's otherwise complicated rules.
Yeah, that's what she said.
Law is based on the rules being the same for everyone, consistently, and based on principle. Calvinball is based on the rules being mutable, changing for expedience, on spur of the moment, for a player's convenience.
Calvinball is the opposite of credible jurisprudence.
I can't separate the legalese from the mythology and I need to know: WHO (and under what circumstances) is protected from prosecution along with Potus. Is he protected from everything he ever did? Is his administration also protected before, during and after the elections?
Robert$' $COTU$
My heart fucking breaks for her (and the country) on a regular basis. I don’t know how she does it, how she isn’t deflated every single day. I’m eternally grateful for her efforts, and for speaking on the record in her dissents on behalf of a majority of this country in these insane rulings.
One brave and honest Justice. Thank you Justice Jackson!!!
I think that any Supreme Court justice who cites "Calvinball" in her dissenting opinion deserves a Medal of Honor.
Justice Jackson “believes in justice, not injustice.”
Hero
😵💫🤬
Thank Biden she is there in her job but my gawd, I don't envy her and any of the other dissenters. America is in a deeply terrible place
She’d like to make a difference but trumps boys have the majority. They’re supremists and racists.
One of the 3 honorable justices that deserve to be on the Supreme Court!
She is a hopeful spot in all of this. She speaks truth to power with such intelligent eloquence.
Supreme Court is fullof shit tho I don't have her gravitas
Thank you thank you thank you Justice Jackson!!! Too bad the other justices don’t have the balls she has to stand up and speak out against the overthrowing of our democracy. They will be judged as RBG was at the end of her life….not in a good light!
I can’t imagine showing up for work in that place!
I wondered why everyone was so thrilled for her, when it was clearly going to be soul crushingly awful.
She’s a hero for saying yes, but I would not blame her for rage quitting at any moment.
I was really hoping Biden would at least attempt to dilute that court but alas, here we are. The problem is, Biden had a lot of respect for norms. It's the only "knife to a gun fight". We've got to stop that shit.
📌
She's a fucking hero in real time.
and shes just short of 100% correct
She tells it like it is.
📌
We are so lucky to have her on the Court. Her dissents are must read.
I think John Roberts knew about Project 2025 & agreed with its premise & that is why he reached in to take the case against Trump & hold it & then give the utterly disgusting ruling giving a President immunity so much. In my opinion, the other Conservative Justices are all on board with 2025
Then let’s say it for her.
The Supreme Court Is Breathtakingly Full of Shit.
When is trump going to remove her, or tell congress to?
I would encourage her to say it. We can all see it at this point.
Yes, she is remarkably placed to share insights into the theory and practise of “lawless law” now more or less wholeheartedly adopted by the American judiciary.
We've been boxing with padded gloves. They've been street fighting with brass knuckles.
“Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.”
We need 4 more Justice Jackson’s on the court and at least 3 of the 4 misogynists, not naming names. Gone.
#SCOTUSisdead
You can tell from her expression that she’s fed up.
Yup agree
She’s not wrong!
I gotta think she was expecting it to be bad when she walked in and then was still shocked at display.
We hear her loud and clear!!
That sums it up
Imagine your life’s work being reduced to working with the rest of those fucktards. I feel sorry for Justice Jackson and what she’s being forced to endure on a daily basis.
📌
She’s on the ‘Be’ team like the rest of us. Be there before, Be there during, and Be there after to pick up the pieces
She'll make a fine chief justice
I know they pride themselves on their civility but things gotta be getting tense there
I take it she wouldn't mind a toppling of tyranny.
Revolution is the solution.
Wow! Calvinball rules.
