**SCOTUS Judge Whines Because Republicans Win Too Much
'This administration always wins': Ketanji Jackson complains
Supreme Court is letting White House be victorious

Ketanji Jackson, the newest member of the U.S. Supreme Court,
appointed by Joe Biden, is complaining that her colleagues are
allowing the White House to win court cases.
Fox News reports she wrote in a dissent this week that the
"recent tendencies" of the court to side with the Trump administra-
tion are wrong.
"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," she scolded.
Calvinball, in fact, comes out of the hilarious comic strip
and book creations of Bill Watterson, where Calvin, the precocious
little boy, plays games with his pet, stuffed tiger, and there are
no fixed rules.
Jackson's claims, however, fall apart when considering the
dozens and dozens of court rulings that have gone against the Trump
administration at various court levels, based on the hundreds of
legal cases leftists have brought against him as he pursues his
Make America Great Again agenda.
Those include refusals to let him cut spending as he's planned,
judges who insist that he bring deported criminals back to the
United States, and many more.
Even if Jackson, whose personal ideologies clearly are being
offended by the Trump administration's agenda for a strong America,
following the law, providing protections for Americans, and calling
for fair trade agreements, was referencing only the Supreme Court,
those justices have been far from letting the Trump administration
do all it wants.
Jackson, however, rebuked other justices for "lawmaking" on
the court's "shadow docket," which involves cases that are brought
to the justices on an emergency basis and require a ruling right
away – before a full development in lower courts, a full briefing,
and arguments.
The justice with a far-left ideology and agenda on the court
said the majority on the court bent "over backwards to accommodate"
Trump by allowing the National Institutes of Health to cancel more
than $700 million in grants that did not align with its priorities.
Some of those grants were ideological, pushing the leftist
agenda of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and gender identity,
topics on which the government should be remaining neutral, not
spending tax money pushing.
That ruling, she complained, is the "newest entry in the
court's quest to make way for the Executive Branch…"
That 5-4 decision allows the NIH to cancel a series of grants
that already had been identified.
In a second 5-4 decision that keeps a lower court's block on
the NIH's directives about the grants intact, Justice Amy Coney
Barrett, a Trump appointee, sided with John Roberts and the three
liberals. The latter portion of the ruling could hinder the NIH's
ability to cancel future grants, the report said.
Experts have noted a surge in the "rhetoric" from the leftist
Jackson, who has established herself as one of the most active
talkers during oral arguments.
"The histrionic and hyperbolic rhetoric has increased in
Jackson's opinions, which at times portray her colleagues as aban-
doning not just the Constitution but democracy itself," said con-
stitutional expert Jonathan Turley.
Jackson, in fact, got scolded for her rhetoric in an opinion
by Barrett recently.
Barrett accused Jackson of advocating for an "imperial
judiciary."**
I hope someone informed Jackson that when you are in the
minority, the odds are against you everyday.
Her job is to legally interpret the Constitution as written
by the founders, not whatever floats her boat or makes her party
win. A victory is truth. She needs to try that.
With God's grace and ethics and morals to guide her to come
to a verdict by what is IN the Constitution, not what she wants it
to say. That is what Obey the LAW means.
She should give that a try.
Conservatively,
John
