Ketanji Brown Jackson is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, nominated by President Joe Biden in 2022 to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. She is a figure of monumental historic significance, becoming the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court in its 230-year history. Uniquely, she is also the first former federal public defender to sit on the nation’s highest bench, bringing a gritty, ground-level perspective on the criminal justice system that her colleagues lack. Since taking her seat, Justice Jackson has proven to be an incredibly active and dominant force during oral arguments, utilizing her formidable debate skills to disrupt conservative originalist narratives by applying her own brand of "progressive originalism" (citing the radical, egalitarian intent of the 13th and 14th Amendment framers). She has authored deeply historical, passionate dissents regarding affirmative action and the expansion of presidential immunity. Unbound by the institutional caution of Kagan or Sotomayor, Jackson has quickly become a progressive icon and a brilliant, unapologetic adversary to the 6-3 conservative majority.
