Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, speaks during her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing at the Capitol, in 2022.WASHINGTON — When the Supreme Court ruled in June against labor unions, allowing an employer to pursue a damages claim for losses caused by a strike, there was just one dissenting voice: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's.“risks erosion of the right to strike.”
Her solo opinion marked the first time a new justice has made such a bold move in a first term on the court since conservative Justice Clarence Thomas did so in 1991, according to Supreme Court stats guru Adam Feldman. Jackson's clash with Thomas, the only other Black justice on the court, on their seemingly unresolvablegenerated headlines as they exchanged barbs in separate opinions in the ruling that effectively ended the broad consideration of race in college admissions.
She ended up speaking more at oral arguments during the course of the term than any other justice, according to Feldman.
"I don't think the historical record establishes that the founders believed that race neutrality or race blindness was required, right?" she said.
