During her first nine months on the SCOTUS, Ketanji Brown Jackson has earned the praise of both her liberal and conservative colleagues, who say the associate justice has “hit the ground running” since being sworn in last year.
Jackson was praised by those on the Left when she was nominated by President Joe Biden to replace former Justice Stephen Breyer after he retired from the high court last summer. However, the newest justice has occasionally been able to win the affection of those on the Right over the last few months as Jackson has found agreement with her conservative colleagues on a number of issues.
Jackson earned unanimous support from the Supreme Court justices in her first majority opinion issued last month in a dispute between Delaware and MoneyGram, an online service to transfer money and checks. However, Jackson has also proven herself to be a lone wolf in some cases, often making herself the lone dissenter. Jackson most recently wrote a solo dissent for a case on Monday after the Supreme Court struck down a ruling from a lower court allowing a state clerk to be sued for telling a pregnant teenager she must notify her parents before seeking to obtain an abortion without their consent.
“There are great relations among all nine justices, both personally and professionally. We only get tough cases, and we disagree on some of those,” he said. “I think that's more nuanced than it is sometimes portrayed.”
