Fact-Checking Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court Confirmation Hearing
UNITED STATES, JUL 09 – Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson speaks 50% more than the next most vocal justice and uses opinions to openly express her judicial views on constitutional and democratic issues.
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson delivered remarks on her Supreme Court nomination on February 25, 2022, at the White House Grand Foyer.
- Her confirmation hearings included conservative allegations that she was soft on crime due to her pandemic-era rulings and previous defense of Guantanamo detainees.
- In an April 2020 ruling, Jackson found COVID-19 health risks could reasonably support releasing some D.C. detainees but did not order their automatic release.
- Jackson spoke 76,116 words during the 2024–2025 term and joined the majority 72% of the time, slightly less than Justices Sotomayor and Kagan in 2023–2024.
- Her dissents increasingly challenge perceived court patterns, raising questions about judicial supremacy and expressing concern for the state of democracy in her opinions.
