Justice Brown Jackson once again dutifully and RIGHTFULLY expressed outrage over the way Trump's conservative justices are willfully and deliberately and REPEATEDLY unraveling the foundations of our Democracy, in complete obedience and subservience to the FELON in the Oval Office.

Reactions rolled in Friday after liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson delivered a scathing dissent of the majority conservative U.S. Supreme Court's latest decision, with some saying it told lower courts they have "absolutely no power over the executive branch."

Brown Jackson called the high court's decision to remove legal protections for more than 300,000 immigrants from Venezuela "repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference."

"I view today’s decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. This Court should have stayed its hand. Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly misjudges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the stability our Government has promised them," Jackson wrote in her dissent Friday.
