Justice Amy Coney Barrett confirmed how little she thinks of her far less intelligent colleague Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson during today’s historic ruling on nationwide injunctions with a phrase that will haunt Biden appointee for years.
As TGP’s Jim Hoft reported, the United States Supreme Court delivered a powerful rebuke of activist judges and handed President Trump a pivotal legal victory on Friday.
The decision in Trump v. CASA, Inc., reaffirms the rightful balance of power between the judiciary and the executive, curbing the ability of unelected district judges to paralyze the will of a duly elected president. In a 6–3 decision, the Court ruled that federal district courts lack the constitutional or statutory authority to issue so-called ‘universal injunctions’ — sweeping orders that block government policies nationwide, often at the request of left-wing advocacy groups.
The case stemmed from challenges to President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order No. 14160, titled Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship (90 Fed. Reg. 8449, 2025).
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, dismantled the legal foundation of these injunctions with surgical precision. Joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, Barrett declared that such “universal” remedies lack any historical basis in the equitable traditions of the Judiciary Act of 1789.
Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Jackson dissented.
It was stunning enough that Barrett authored this ruling, but what Barrett said about Jackson is even more shocking.
In her ruling, Barrett went off on Jackson for her ridiculous argument against nationwide injunctions.
“We will not dwell on Justice Jackson’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself,” she began. “We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary,” she added.

This was certainly rough. But Barrett was not finished with Jackson and dropped the most brutal line of all.
” Justice Jackson skips over that part. Because analyzing the governing statute involves boring legalese. “

Essentially, Barrett is saying Jackson is too dumb to understand basic Constitutional law, vindicating conservatives who claim she was a DEI appointment. Ouch.
If the mild-mannered Barrett thinks this of her colleague, can you imagine what Justices Alito and Thomas believe when Jackson opens her mouth?
