Justice Jackson Writes Opinions For Her Media Fanbase, Not Everyday Americans by Shawn Fleetwood In roughly three years, Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has established herself as one of the most recognized members of the Supreme Court — and not in a good way. Despite being the most junior justice on the high court, Jackson has regularly gone out of her way to thumb her nose at her colleagues for upholding America’s constitutional framework. Whether it be through public comments or poorly written opinions, the Biden appointee has shown little respect for the longstanding traditions and collegiality that have defined SCOTUS for generations. {snip} While it’s not uncommon for justices to explain their disagreements and problems with the opposing side’s legal rationale in their opinions, Jackson’s dissent (and this isn’t the first time) takes on another level of snide that’s unbecoming of a junior justice. She went on to effectively accuse her colleagues in the majority of abandoning all semblance of proper jurisprudence and respect for the law in order to bend over backwards for the Trump administration. It’s pretty telling that none of the other justices in the dissent signed onto Jackson’s tirade. While they may share ideological similarities, even Sotomayor and Kagan recognize the importance of respecting and getting along with their conservative-leaning colleagues — especially given that these are lifetime appointments. But for Jackson, that seemingly matters very little. https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/22/justice-jackson-writes-opinions-for-her-media-fanbase-not-everyday-americans/

Okay, I can see it now. I concede on that. Appreciate the further breakdown. All that said though, Ogunjobi being cut or not really has no effect on the initial 53. It has to be a move elsewhere, either a Carter trade or cut or a Jones cut bc they're impressed with Walker. Otherwise, they're carrying 6 DT's opening day regardless of what they do with Ogunjobi and I just can't see that. Especially with the injuries at CB facilitating keeping extra there and the logjam at the bottom of the WR chart.

The issue is the secondary as a whole. This is easy to absorb with Benford, Poyer, Hyde, Taron. Outside of this magnifying our issues on the boundary, a decent option alongside Rapp would make this all the more palatable. This secondary made Levi Wallace, Dane Jackson, and Damar Hamlin look servicable when they only needed to sub one piece.

I don't think phillips ever lost a step. The guy steps up and he did last year

Walker is literally a 21 year old version of 32 year old Jordan Phillips. Maybe they just want Phillips to give him a jump start to playing as a big man that's not a 1 tech in the NFL. I'm certainly not going to crap on Phillips because he loves playing here. It's not his job to decide who's fit to be on the 53 man roster. He probably has as much to offer as anyone else after Oliver, Sanders, Jones, and Walker. Maybe they are going to trade Jones? Who knows.

My Halloween costume was often ruined in a similar way as a child.

Yeah and he’s looked horrible. I’m not asking for a game wrecker at the D position at picks 26-32 or whatever we’ve drafted but you should not be dipping into former vets 2 weeks out to fill your defense.

Spotrac has it on his yearly breakdown. If you scroll all the way to the right, it shows that his dead cap would be 3.5 from his signing bonus which was guaranteed. The other 2 mil of guarentees, which ads up the the 5.5 you keep referencing, was voided from PED suspension. Reading the contract notes below the yearly breakdown explains this. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/21807/larry-ogunjobi Over the cap has this shown in a different way. If you look at the yearly breakdown chart, and switch the dead and cap savings to post June 1, it shows that it’s 3.5 in dead and 3mil in cap savings. Maybe someone else like @BarleyNY can chime in on the contract deets.

Then he doubles down on that and brings Dane Jackson back too.

Which young and promising player will need to be cut to make room for him?

That's... insane. Like I can't wrap my head around that. They must have a trade for Carter done then. Or a shock Daquan Jones cut bc they're so impressed with Walker's Camp and Pre-Season. Ogunjobi being a cut or not really affects nothing bc he's exempt and if this is true, would be carrying 6 DT's on the initial 53 if they didn't make a move. And I don't see that.

You cannot count on White to play any significant snaps, he’s a liability at this point because of his body. Why not just move on?

It’s just mind bending to me some of the decisions this GM makes that he thinks fixes holes. He brings back Tre White who looked pretty bad with Baltimore (he got torched BY THE BILLS in a playoff game) and looked even worse in LA. You don’t go sign that player with all the question marks to be a CB3 behind a rookie like Maxwell. Because if you do, you basically pencil in Hairston as CB2 and if that goes bad, you’re suddenly onto white - which we’re already at. It’s sorta a head scratcher for me and here we are bringing back a 33 yr old Phillips cuz our DL (mind you we poured draft and FA assets into) isn’t good enough.

Spare us the lecture. The difference is Democrats don’t kneel to politicians like they’re gods - if someone’s guilty, throw them to the wolves. Meanwhile, you and your cult crowned a serial predator, rapist, and Epstein groupie as their messiah, then cheers while he cuts hush-money checks and rants about retribution. You want to talk about a ‘wild ride’? Try watching an entire movement prostitute its soul to defend a filthy criminal just because they’re too cowardly to admit they sold out everything for him.

I said this earlier in the week, but his tendency to reach for what he knows is problematic. There will be NOBODY better available in the next 3 days? Nobody??

Beane loves a washed D line

If we’re trading Carter, this doesn’t bother me at all. Ed Oliver is a guy who can mentor TJ Sanders in play style and Jordan Phillips can be DT5, mentoring Deone Walker and serve as depth, if needed, especially until Ogunjobi comes back Week 7. That’s the only rationale I have though if he’s signing to the active roster. Theres no way they keep 6 DT’s, is there?

3 years, try 8

He's not the prototype QB and he went up against marginal NFL players against the Bucs. Numbers looked great, but he's just too short to excel against first team defenses. PS QB at best.

There is no proper emoji. Those were two of the most gruesome things I’ve ever witnessed. The fortitude of Alex Smith to come back should put him in his own little HOF of some kind.

doesn’t matter who we sign or draft. By the end of the year, the starting DL will be Jordan Phillips and Eli Ankou!

Then that truly changes the math and is all the more puzzling.

Practice squad, love it, active roster ??? Guess Carter is gone and they see Phillips as somebody that can fill in while Larry O is out that they can send back to the PS when he’s back
