In *Louisiana v. Callais*, Justice Samuel Alito—joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch—criticizes Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, arguing that it is “baseless” and lacks judicial restraint, according to reporting from multiple outlets. Both sources describe Alito’s position as a direct response to Jackson’s reasoning in the case, and they highlight that Alito frames the dissent as not grounded in established legal principles. The outlets characterize the dispute as a disagreement within the Court over how Jackson applies legal analysis in her dissent. While the reports focus on the dissent and the responding opinions, they do not provide additional details on the underlying majority decision or the specific legal questions at issue beyond the case name. Overall, the coverage centers on the justices’ competing views of the proper approach to the issues in *Louisiana v. Callais* and emphasizes the sharply worded criticism from Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch directed at Jackson’s dissent.
