Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion in a recent ruling that limits the ability of U.S. District Judges to issue nationwide injunctions. In her opinion, Barrett sharply criticized Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent, describing it as contrary to more than two centuries of legal precedent and the Constitution. Barrett accused Jackson of disregarding established precedent due to an unwillingness or inability to engage with complex legal language, referring to it as "boring 'legalese.'" Barrett further highlighted an irony in Jackson's dissent by stating, "Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary." The ruling was decided 6-3, with Barrett's opinion reflecting a conservative majority stance.

The exchange between the two justices also extended to a related birthright citizenship case, where their opinions sharply diverged. Barrett's critique was noted for its directness and has been described as a strong rebuke of Jackson's legal reasoning. The dispute underscores ideological divisions within the Supreme Court, particularly between conservative and liberal justices. Barrett's opinion was widely reported as dismissing Jackson's dissent as lacking legal merit and reflective of broader concerns about judicial activism and constitutional interpretation.
