Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s junior liberal justice, excoriated her colleagues for lifting a block on President Trump’s mail-in voting executive order on Monday. The ruling allows President Trump and his allies to attempt to transform the U.S. Postal Service into a key player in their efforts to transform the nation’s elections.
