Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has made a pretty strange name for herself on the Supreme Court, and it’s not because she’s carefully sticking to the Constitution. Over and over, she sounds less like a judge calling balls and strikes and more like an activist trying to steer outcomes she personally approves of or has been told to push. She feels a lot like a DEI activist judge, used more for her willingness to play the game and control than actually because she’s a fair judge.
And really, that reputation didn’t come out of nowhere. Legal analysts across the spectrum have noticed it. Instead of basing her arguments on the Constitution, Jackson tends to frame the law around feelings, intentions, and what she believes would be safest or most helpful. That might play well in some left-wing faculty lounge, but it’s a dangerous mindset on the highest court in the land.
That’s exactly why her latest comments have raised eyebrows.
In a recent Supreme Court exchange, Justice Jackson argued that presidents should not be able to fire so-called “experts” who run large parts of the federal government.
Huh?
She’s referring to economists, scientists, transportation officials, and other bureaucrats with PhDs. In her mind, these people should operate independently of the elected president, even when voters chose that president to set policy and direction.
Again, say what?
So, in a nutshell, Jackson is suggesting that unelected career officials should outrank the person Americans actually voted for. She thinks Congress and the so-called “expert class” should have the final say, while the executive branch takes a back seat. That idea doesn’t just stretch the Constitution like a rubber band; it literally flips the whole thing on its head.
Amuse:
SCOTUS: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson told the Court that presidents should not be able to fire the PhDs & experts who run the government. She even argued presidents should avoid control over transportation & the economy.
In a remarkable exchange in Trump v Slaughter, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson claimed the president should have no power to fire expert bureaucrats. She said economists, PhDs, scientists, & transportation officials should operate beyond presidential reach. Such a view would carve the heart out of Article II & cement rule by permanent insiders rather than elected leadership. Jackson’s theory elevates the deep state over the voters who choose a president. That is a constitutional revolution in plain sight.

What Jackson is really describing is a permanent unelected government. Scary, right? This would be a system where insiders stay put, elections come and go, and nothing ever changes.
This is also where the bigger DEI danger comes into focus.
When institutions stop prioritizing excellence and accountability, they don’t just lower standards, but they set people up for public humiliation and failure. We’ve already seen this pattern play out in academia over and over.
Revolver has covered it in detail on so many occasions.
Revolver:
Another day, another DEI disaster. The same academic system that preaches “equity” and “inclusion” from the rooftops is quietly rotting from within. These so-called “diversity champions” are almost always hired for optics instead of skill, excellence, or merit. And as a result, one by one they’re being exposed for everything from plagiarism to outright abuse of power. It’s like watching the “House of Woke” collapse one phony brick at a time.
The latest disgraceful case comes out of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where President Heidi M. Anderson, a black woman who was once celebrated as a “DEI success story,” has crashed and burned, like so many before her. She was once the chair of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and is now being accused of not only plagiarizing her own Ph.D. dissertation but also running her campus like a racist, anti-white machine.
These allegations are truly horrific. They claim that under Anderson, white employees were paid less, overworked, and treated like second-class citizens. They were like the modern-day “field hands” of academia, while less-qualified staff took credit for their work and were elevated because they checked some DEI box.
This is the dark reality behind “diversity” in our higher education system. Like we said earlier, these days, higher ed has zero to do with excellence and everything to do with charity. It’s like some failed social experiment where competence is punished, mediocrity is rewarded, and the shade of your skin dictates your worth. When people are hired for the color of their skin instead of the quality of their mind, a disaster will eventually follow… and that’s what’s happening right now in Ms. Anderson’s world.
The Daily Wire’s investigation into Anderson’s career paints a very dark and damning picture. According to their findings, she’s been coasting through the academic ranks for nearly forty years. Anderson has been climbing the academic ladder using weak research, sketchy ethics, and now, alleged fraud.
This all broke wide open when a former professor filed a lawsuit. Donna Satterlee exposed a culture where racial favoritism was part of the actual system. Satterlee says that Anderson not only stacked the deck in favor of low-skilled black faculty but also actively discriminated against white employees. She paid them less and dumped the hard work on them and gave the credit for their hard work to the unskilled minorities.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The Daily Wire went even deeper and uncovered something really disturbing. It turns out that Anderson’s entire academic career may have been built on some very serious plagiarism. Her doctoral dissertation from Purdue University appears to contain entire sections that were “lifted” directly from another scholar’s work. We’re talking it was copied word-for-word, except she swapped out names and details to try to make it look original.
And the DEI-related backlash didn’t stop with Justice Brown’s latest shenanigans. Now, thanks to Jackson’s judicial buffoonery, people are, once again, digging deeper into the DEI disaster.
Pretty quickly, folks began zooming out and asking a bigger question about how we got to this sad spot in the first place.
Now, a popular argument making the rounds online is pointing to what Revolver has talked about a lot. They see a massive disconnect between credentials and competence in so many elite institutions. Many analysts point out that DEI has flooded universities and professional industries with people who might look “okay” on paper but who were never prepared to operate at the highest levels.
For example, black women now out-enroll white men in college. But, there’s a kicker… They also have lower IQs and lower SAT scores.
So, many are once again asking: are we still flooding the system with unqualified people set up to fail?
Jonatan Pallesen:
A larger proportion of Black women are enrolled in college than White men. (40% vs 37%)
Black women have on average 1 standard deviation lower IQ and SAT score than White men.
This disparity results in a large number of Black women who have credentials, but not the intelligence.
And as a downstream result of these dynamics, there are then many unqualified Black women in important positions, such in the Supreme Court (Ketanji Brown Jackson), on the board of the FED (Lisa Cook), as news people (Joy Reid), and in universities (Claudine Gay).

These are the questions being asked, thanks to Justice KBJ. That’s nothing to be proud of. And speaking of not being proud, right now in the US, we’re chasing “checked boxes,” not excellence, and we’re humiliating unqualified people in the process.
And that circles right back to Justice Jackson. At some point, the system has to answer one very simple question. Who is DEI really serving? It’s not the American people; that’s for certain.
Because when judges are out of their depth, Americans end up paying for a really scary experiment they never asked for.
