‘Trivial, Baseless, And Insulting’: Justice Alito Tears Into Ketanji Brown Jackson

Justice Samuel Alito tore into his colleague, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, for issuing a dissenting opinion on a procedural order that clears the way for Louisiana to redraw its unconstitutional congressional map ahead of its May 16 primary elections.

In a relatively unprecedented opinion relating to such an order, Justice Alito indirectly criticized Justice Jackson, stating, “The dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered. The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional.”

“The dissent does not claim that it is now too late for the state legislature or the District Court to adopt a new map that complies with the Constitution. Nor does the dissent assert that it is not feasible for the elections to be held under such a map. Instead, the dissent offers two reasons for its proposed course of action,” the conservative justice continued. “One is trivial at best, and the other is baseless and insulting.” (RELATED: Supreme Court Clears Way For Louisiana To Redraw House Map Before 2026 Primaries)
