    I love how outspoken and defiant Brown is

    Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the court to record a dissent. She said President Donald Trump is unleashing a “wrecking ball” on the federal government, and she slammed the court’s majority for its “demonstrated enthusiasm for greenlighting this President’s legally dubious actions in an emergency posture.”

    Jackson, a Biden appointee, said her colleagues were inappropriately reinterpreting Illston’s findings, noting that appeals courts are supposed to adhere to a lower court’s conclusions about disputed facts. Lower courts have better command of the facts at this early stage in the litigation, she wrote in a 15-page dissent.

    8 - 1 ruling, what happened to 6 - 3? Did Clarence Thomas even get a vacation outta this?

      Does “only recorded dissent” mean she’s the only one voting against it, or that she’s the only one leaving feedback with the case?
