阿利托在戈萨奇和托马斯支持下的协同意见称，杰克逊的言论“缺乏克制”

周一，在一场事关重大的路易斯安那州选区重划争议案中，大法官塞缪尔·阿利托猛烈抨击大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊的单独异议，称其论点“毫无根据且充满侮辱性”。此前，最高法院决定加快执行其近期的选区重划裁决，以赶在2026年中期选举前落地。
阿利托在一份由大法官尼尔·戈萨奇和克拉伦斯·托马斯联署的协同意见中直接驳斥杰克逊，称她“在本案中的异议提出了不容回避的指控”。
“异议继而声称，我们的裁决是对权力的无原则使用，”阿利托写道，并补充称这是一项“毫无根据且极其不负责任的指控”。
这场冲突凸显出杰克逊在最高法院中日益孤立的处境：她不仅与保守派多数派唱反调，还与两位自由派同僚划清界限——这两人均未加入她的异议。杰克逊强烈指责最高法院越权，这已是这位拜登任命的自由派大法官一系列单独异议中的最新一例，她此前曾多次抨击多数派作出的、通常有利于唐纳德·特朗普总统和共和党人的高关注度裁决。
媒体对最高法院投票权法案裁决的愤怒与现实碰撞

在周一的命令中，最高法院以无署名裁决的形式决定允许路易斯安那州官员迅速推进修改其国会选区地图。该地图预计将在中期选举前重塑该州国会席位分布，使其更有利于共和党。
阿利托辩称，推迟执行最高法院上月以6票对3票作出的裁决——该裁决认定路易斯安那州的地图属于违宪的种族划分选区，大幅缩小了《投票权法案》第二条的适用范围——没有任何实际意义。阿利托称，杰克逊希望延缓这项具有里程碑意义的裁决执行的理由“充其量不过是微不足道”，且“毫无根据且充满侮辱性”。
“异议指责最高法院‘挣脱’了‘约束’，”阿利托写道，“恰恰是异议本身的言论缺乏克制。”

杰克逊曾警告称，最高法院的干预有风险不当介入正在进行的选举，并造成“偏袒的表象”，她指出该州已在开展相关投票和法律挑战。
法律专家注意到阿利托此次回应的尖锐语气不同寻常，认为这表明最高法院内部存在更深层次的摩擦。乔治华盛顿大学法学教授乔纳森·特利表示，这位保守派大法官似乎已对杰克逊的批评忍无可忍。
“阿利托大法官受够了，”特利写道，“他指出，杰克逊以32天期限为由提出的反对意见是‘微不足道’的，因为没有任何一方请求重新审议，这种做法将形式置于实质之上。毫无意义地等待32天，而其他各方已明确表示需要合理且紧迫地敲定最终方案。”
特利补充称，阿利托尤其不满杰克逊指责最高法院行事“无原则”。

这场争议的核心是最高法院的程序规则：通常情况下，裁决正式送达下级法院前有约32天的等待期。阿利托强调，该规则具有灵活性，主要目的是为申请重审留出时间，而他暗示本案预计不会有重审申请。
最高法院周一的裁决迫使路易斯安那州紧急推进新地图的制定工作——目前选票已寄送给选民，该州的初选已暂停。这一裁决预计将在全国范围内产生更广泛影响，各州选举官员和法院都在努力及时敲定符合宪法要求的选区地图，以赶上即将到来的选举。

Alito rips Jackson’s ‘utterly irresponsible’ solo dissent as Supreme Court fight shakes up 2026 map
May 5, 2026 10:40am EDT / Fox News
Alito’s concurrence, joined by Gorsuch and Thomas, said Jackson’s rhetoric ‘lacks restraint’
By Ashley Oliver Fox News
Justice Samuel Alito tore into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s lone dissent in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting dispute on Monday, calling her arguments “baseless and insulting” after the Supreme Court decided to fast-track implementing its recent redistricting ruling ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Alito used a concurring opinion, joined by Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, to directly rebuke Jackson, saying her “dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered.”
“The dissent goes on to claim that our decision represents an unprincipled use of power,” Alito wrote, adding that that was a “groundless and utterly irresponsible charge.”
The clash highlighted Jackson’s increasingly isolated position on the court, as she broke not only from the conservative majority but also from her two liberal colleagues, who did not join her dissent. Jackson forcefully accused the Supreme Court of overreach, marking the latest in a pattern of solo dissents in which the Biden-appointed liberal justice has blasted high-profile majority decisions that have frequently favored President Donald Trump and Republicans.
MEDIA OUTRAGE OVER SUPREME COURT’S VOTING RIGHTS ACT DECISION COLLIDES WITH REALITY

In Monday’s order, the high court decided in an unsigned ruling to allow Louisiana officials to quickly move forward with changing their congressional map, which is expected to reshape the state’s congressional representation in favor of Republicans ahead of the midterms.
Alito argued that delaying the judgment of the high court’s 6-3 ruling last month — which significantly narrowed section two of the Voting Rights Act by finding Louisiana’s map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander — served no practical purpose. Jackson’s reasons for wanting to prolong implementation of the landmark ruling were “trivial at best” and “baseless and insulting,” Alito said.
“The dissent accuses the Court of ‘unshackl[ing]’ itself from ‘constraints,’” Alito wrote. “It is the dissent’s rhetoric that lacks restraint.”

Jackson had warned that the high court’s intervention risked improperly injecting itself into an active election and creating the “appearance of partiality,” pointing to ongoing voting and legal challenges already unfolding in the state.
Legal experts observed the unusually pointed tone of Alito’s response, suggesting it indicated a deeper internal friction. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said the conservative justice appeared to reach a breaking point in responding to Jackson’s criticism.
“Justice Alito had had enough,” Turley wrote. “He noted that her reliance on the 32-day period was a ‘trivial’ objection that put form above substance since no party had asked for reconsideration. It would be waiting for 32 days for no purpose, while the other parties had stated a reasonable and pressing need to finalize the opinion.”
Turley added that Alito took particular issue with Jackson’s accusation that the Supreme Court was acting in an “unprincipled” manner.

The dispute centered on the Supreme Court’s procedural rule that typically allows about 32 days before a judgment is formally sent down to lower courts. Alito emphasized that the rule is flexible and intended primarily to allow time for rehearing petitions, which he signaled were not expected in this case.
The Supreme Court’s decision Monday sends Louisiana into a scramble to implement a new map as ballots have already been sent to voters and the state’s primary has been paused. The ruling is expected to have broader implications across the country as state election officials and courts attempt to finalize constitutionally compliant maps in time for the upcoming election.
