The Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday regarding district judges’ use of sweeping nationwide injunctions enraged liberals and thrilled Republicans. RedState’s Susie Moore explained the decision:
In a 6-3 decision authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the court granted the government’s applications to partially stay the district court’s nationwide injunctions in the birthright citizenship cases, noting that universal injunctions “likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts.” The caveat here is that the applications are granted “only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue.” (The three dissenters were, as one might expect, the three liberal justices: Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.)
There was massive reaction on both the right and the left and even President Donald Trump to the ruling, but leave it to Louisiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy to have the funniest take. After all, for many, he has by far the best sense of humor of any of our lawmakers.
Of the liberals whining on cable TV and crying for the cameras about Trump’s policies, Kennedy had this to say on Fox News:
You know, if they disagree, I’m sorry, fill out a hurt feelings report. Buy a comfort rock.

Kennedy did not specifically name dissenting Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, but he could have been referring to her when he said that judges need to learn the difference between legal literature and catalogs:
Anybody who knows a law book from an LL Bean catalog knows that federal judges just made up this concept of universal injunctions. There’s no basis in statute, no basis in Supreme Court precedent. There’s no basis in English common law.
He continued, saying that judges who have the sads about policies they don’t like have other options besides injunctions to deal with their grief:
They just made it up because they don’t agree with what a president or Congress has done. You know, if they disagree, you know, I’m sorry—fill out a hurt feelings support. Buy a comfort rock.
But they can’t just say, “I disagree and I’m putting the entire action by another branch of government on hold, because I don’t like it,” and that’s what they’ve been doing…
He closed with a civics lesson that all too many activist judges across the nation have apparently forgotten:
They’re not the superior branch of government. They’re an equal branch of government.
If I ever need a legal ruling explained, I’m going to see if Sen. John Kennedy has opined on the matter. Not only does he dissect things simply and logically, but he makes you laugh along the way. A rare talent indeed.
Editor’s Note: Radical leftist judges are doing everything they can to hamstring President Trump’s agenda to make America great again.
