President Donald Trump has experienced a string of victories at the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court at the same time federal judges across the nation seem to be working overtime to hamstring his policies at every turn.
According to USA Today, the three liberal justices on the high court are concerned that Trump is getting preferential treatment by the conservative majority of justices, especially Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Jackson warned that she believes the high court is sending a "troubling message" by siding with the president as much as it has in recent months.
She also believes the conservative justices are "undercutting" federal judges across the nation by overruling the decisions -- the decisions that just happen to overwhelmingly go against the president and his administration.
In a recent statement, Brown Jackson explained why she believes the high court is doing damage to itself with its favorable decisions for the Trump administration.
“It is particularly startling to think that grants of relief in these circumstances might be (unintentionally) conveying not only preferential treatment for the Government but also a willingness to undercut both our lower court colleagues’ well-reasoned interim judgments and the well-established constraints of law that they are in the process of enforcing,” she wrote.
The statement came in a dissent from a recent case involving former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk.
USA Today noted:
Jackson was dissenting from the conservative majority’s decision to give Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency complete access to the data of millions of Americans kept by the U.S. Social Security Administration.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined in the dissent with Brown Jackson, writing, "this Court dons its emergency responder gear, rushes to the scene, and uses its equitable power to fan the flames rather than extinguish them."
Brown Jackson also wrote a similar complaint after a May decision that sided with the Trump administration.
That decision came down on May 30, which said that "the administration can revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans living in the United States."
Brown Jackson held nothing back in her dissent, claiming the high court "plainly botched" the decision.
Clearly, Brown Jackson and Sotomayor are not happy with being unable to join their federal counterparts in stopping Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump is enjoying the fruits of his three Supreme Court picks.
