Amy Coney Barrett Was Just Asked About Those Jabs She Took at Jackson in Trump v. CASA Opinion

Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Thursday addressed her recent opinion on universal injunctions in Trump v. CASA, where she delivered a stinging rebuke of the dissent from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

In the 6-3 decision that gave the president a huge win, Barrett took aim at Jackson’s arguments, where she claimed the administration was asking the high court for “permission to engage in unlawful behavior” by challenging the use of universal injunctions. In line after line, Barrett called out Jackson for essentially having no idea what she was talking about. 

Asked about her rebuke on Thursday, Barrett said she believed Jackson's argument was made "in strong terms that I thought warranted a response." 

Barrett's remarks came during an event in New York City promoting her new book "Listening to the Law."

"I personally tend not to be spicy for the sake of being spicy, but I am from New Orleans and everyone likes a little Tabasco sometimes," she said of her opinion in Trump v. CASA.

The justice emphasized her respect for her colleague, noting that her sharp language in the majority opinion was not an attack on Jackson personally. "We just disagreed about the scope of judicial power," she explained. "I attack ideas. I don't attack people."
