Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Uses … (Wait for It) … TikTok Slang in Concurring Opinion

We've already dunked on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson today for her dissenting opinion in the case that allowed states to block biological boys from playing on girls' sports teams. Jackson claimed transgender women are penalized for being perceived as aggressive and have suffered sex-based discrimination just as much as "cisgender" women have.

Jackson, who's found herself on the losing end of 8-1 Supreme Court decisions, continues to embarrass herself, even in her concurring opinions, such as the birthright citizenship case, where she dropped in some TikTok slang. "In the aftermath of the Civil War, those who championed the Fourteenth Amendment — both within and without Congress — understood the assignment."

Jarvis reminded us that in a previous dissent, she actually included the phrase "… (wait for it) …".
