On April 20, 2026, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a scathing solo dissent regarding a Fourth Amendment case (District of Columbia v. R.W.), stating she "[cannot fathom]" her colleagues' decision to intervene. The Court, in a 7-2 or 8-2 decision, reversed a lower court ruling, siding with police who stopped a driver without, according to Jackson, reasonable suspicion. 

Key Details of the Decision (April 20, 2026):

• Case Background: The case involved a Metropolitan Police officer who stopped a person ("R.W.") at 2 a.m. after seeing others flee a vehicle.
• The Decision: The Supreme Court majority ruled for the police, arguing the lower court did not properly consider the "totality of the circumstances".
• Jackson's Dissent: Jackson criticized her colleagues for using "summary discretion"—a fast-track process—to overturn a "factbound" decision by the D.C. Court of Appeals that found the stop violated the Fourth Amendment. 

The police received a report of a suspicious vehicle, when they approached, 2 occupants fled from the car, the car then tried to drive away with a car door open. When stopping the car, the officers noted a broken window and a destroyed ignition switch.....seems like a no-brainer, right? Not for the African Jungle Name Jurist....I wonder what color the bad guys were?

So, let's recap the Ignorance here...shall we.
