Far-left Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson received a standing ovation after she attacked President Trump during remarks at a conference in Puerto Rico.
Without mentioning Trump’s name, Justice Jackson condemned the president’s criticism of far-left radical district court judges.
Jackson said it is time to address Trump’s “threats and harassment” against judges.
Excerpt from Politico:
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson forcefully condemned attacks by President Donald Trump and his allies on judges who have blocked Trump administration policies, warning Thursday that the increasingly hostile rhetoric poses a dire threat to the country’s political fabric.
“The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,” Jackson told a judges’ conference in Puerto Rico. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.”
Jackson urged her judicial colleagues to show “raw courage” to dispense justice without fear of the results. “I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, and I do believe that history will vindicate your service,” the Biden appointee said.
Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’t the first Supreme Court Justice to lash out at President Trump.
Last month Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts defended the rogue judiciary and slammed Trump’s call for impeaching judges in a rare rebuke.
President Trump previously called for Judge James Boasberg to be impeached after he ordered planes deporting criminal Venezuelan aliens to turn around.
Judge Boasberg demanded the DOJ disclose sensitive national security information during a contentious hearing last month.
The Justice Department hit back and said the activist judge was trying to force the government to disclose sensitive national security and operation security concerns.
Trump lashed out at Boasberg and said he should be impeached.
“This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President – He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump said on Truth Social.
Chief Justice Roberts said Trump call for impeaching judges is “not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”
“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” Roberts said in a rare statement.
