WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court issued a ruling this morning that it is legal for President Donald Trump to be the president.
In a 6-3 decision, the court held that since Trump was, in fact, elected to be president, his ability to "do president things" was protected under the law.
"The court hereby rules that a president can be president," wrote Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who penned the decision for the majority. "By virtue of being president, that person is the president. I can't freaking believe I'm having to explain this."
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a scathing dissent for the minority, arguing that she really didn't like that presidents could do stuff and also that it was very unfair how pretty Justice Barrett is for her age. "I'm really getting sick of looking at her still-youthful face," wrote Jackson. "Also, I hate laws. Laws are stupid. Case closed."
At publishing time, Justice Jackson had challenged Justice Barrett to a pay-per-view cage match.
Well, Katanji isn't a biologist so who can blame her for not being able to define a woman. On the other hand, she is supposed to be a Harvard Law grad, editor of the law review and passed the bar, but "legalese" and "dry technical arguments" are beyond her capacity to incorporate into an opinion. Apparently, if an argument makes her vag ache she can use her feelings to guide her decisions. Her having a black vag doesn't make her a woman but it did get her a Supreme Court seat.

The opinion states that Congress never granted lowly district court justices the power to grant "equitable relief" (injunctions) to anyone except the exact parties in court in front of them. They cannot simply just say that their rulings apply across the country to anyone else who might make a similar complaint.
Katanji Brown-Jackson wrote an illiterate dissent in which she railed against "legalese" and "dry technical arguments" to assert that yes, lowly district court judges can overrule the nationally elected constitutional chief executive officer whenever they feel that liberals really need a win.
Coney Barret blasted her, accusing her simply ignoring 250 years of constitutional practice in order to create an "imperial judiciary."
i/o @avidseries "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. We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary."
-- SCOTUS majority opinion today
The full passage is worth the read. Amy Coney Barret calls Ketanji Jackson-Brown dumb, in so many words, incapable of reading, understanding, and applying the law, simply acting like a panelist on The View popping off about what she thinks the law should be while complaining about the "legalese" in the law.
She doesn't seem to grasp that "legalese" is what makes up the law. She seems to dismiss it because she can't follow it.
Now, for a layman, this is understandable. Laymen don't understand legalese and are impatient with it.
But this is, allegedly, a Supreme Court Justice. Shouldn't the "legalese" and "dry technical arguments" (as she dismisses all legal reasoning) be of some concern to her?
