Justice Jackson makes her mark in blockbuster Supreme Court term
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson completed her freshman term last week in what was a blockbuster year for the Supreme Court, speaking more than any new justice in the past 30 years and charting surprising alliances with some members of the 6-3 conservative bloc.
Nominated by President Joe Biden to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer last spring, Jackson’s first year on the high court brought about several unexpected outcomes as she settled into her post as the newest associate justice in the three-member liberal bloc, including her landing in the majority on opinions 84% of the time, according to the Empirical SCOTUS blog.
