Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recently lashed out at critics of the judiciary, Politico reported:
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson forcefully condemned attacks by President Donald Trump and his allies on judges who have blocked Trump administration policies, warning Thursday that the increasingly hostile rhetoric poses a dire threat to the country’s political fabric.“The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,” Jackson told a judges’ conference in Puerto Rico. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.”Though she did not mention Trump by name, Jackson said she was addressing “the elephant in the room,” a clear reference to the belligerent language — and calls for impeachment — that Trump and some of his advisers have lobbed at federal judges who rule against his agenda.Jackson urged her judicial colleagues to show “raw courage” to dispense justice without fear of the results. “I urge you to keep going, keep doing what is right for our country, and I do believe that history will vindicate your service,” the Biden appointee said.Jackson’s unusually pointed comments received a standing ovation from the judges and lawyers in attendance.
The criticisms of the judiciary, particulary the district courts, have been vociferous, and in many if not most cases well-deserved. Many (not all) federal district court judges have exceeded their own jurisdiction and have sought to wrest control of the Executive Branch from the executive. The Supreme Court has had to issue numerous stays of lower court orders, though it should be issuing more and faster.
For over a decade Democrats have been badgering and attacking federal judges, particularly non-liberal Supreme Court Justices. Delegitimizing the Supreme Court has been a primary Democrat talking point.

“JUSTICE JACKSON’s race-infused world view falls flat at each step…. A contrary, myopic world view based on individuals’ skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism …. Worse, the classifications that JUSTICE JACKSON draws are themselves race-based stereotypes…. “
