Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a dissenting opinion sharply criticizing a recent Supreme Court ruling that limits the judiciary's ability to hold the executive branch accountable. She warned that the Court's decision, which permits the Executive to violate the Constitution in cases where no lawsuit has yet been filed, poses an existential threat to the rule of law and undermines the system of checks and balances. Justice Sonia Sotomayor also voiced dissent, reading her portion of the opinion aloud in court for 19 minutes. The ruling has drawn concern from lawmakers who view it as a threat to democracy and judicial oversight.
