#KatanjiBrownJackson dissents from another unsigned and unexplained #ShadowDocket decision. This one allows the orange fascist felon to deport 300k #Venezuelans who have temporary protected status.

“We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson wrote. She points out that her colleagues, rather than prioritizing the harm to 300,000 people, instead privilege “the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the stability our Government has promised them.”
“Because, respectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance,” she concluded, “I dissent.”
Disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible? Give us a break.
This kind of sensationalism really loses her the rhetorical high ground. It's not the way a serious person writes in official documents.
She's not honestly framing the issue at hand, and it's once again not clear that she knows how any of this appellate functioning works.
