“How can you tell if the newest Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is an ‘activist’ judge? She admits it. Worse, she appears to think it is her job, if not her duty, to engage in (left-wing) judicial activism. In an interview with CBS News, Jackson explained what she hopes to accomplish in her many dissents. ‘I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues,’ she said, ‘and that’s what I try to do.’ She added, ‘And I’m not afraid to use my voice.’ This sounds like a podcaster rather than a judge. You might be forgiven for thinking judges are supposed to interpret the law as intended by the legislature and apply the law to resolve disputes before the court.” (07/17/25)
