Jackson spoke about her role on the court, emphasizing that she uses her written opinions to express how she &#8220;feels&#8221; about government and democratic issues. The article argues that this approach conflates judicial duties with personal feelings,which deviates from the expected impartiality and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >fact-based decision-making required<\/a> of judges. It accuses Jackson of consistently advancing leftist political views and engaging in activism rather than neutral jurisprudence, a stance that has reportedly caused tension among her Supreme Court colleagues, including Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Sonia Sotomayor. The piece suggests that Jackson&#8217;s appointment was influenced more by identity politics than merit, and it questions her understanding of the judicial role.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Does Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson know what the role of a judge is? It&rsquo;s a question worth asking given her recent comments at this year&rsquo;s Global Black Economic Forum.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with ABC News hack <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/linsey-davis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Linsey Davis<\/a> in a wide-ranging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=noEF6Vlyuuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview<\/a> on Saturday, the junior justice spoke to attendees about her 2024 memoir and experiences while serving on the nation&rsquo;s highest court. The most head-turning part of the Biden appointee&rsquo;s remarks, however, came during her <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/julie_kelly2\/status\/1942638392954806534\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">response<\/a> to a question from Davis on if she is concerned about &ldquo;the current state of American democracy&rdquo; &mdash; a not-so-subtle dig at sitting President Donald Trump. <\/p>\n<p>Jackson said she&rsquo;s &ldquo;heartened that people are focused on the court and the work that we&rsquo;re doing on the state of the government.&rdquo; She further expressed support for the American people &ldquo;leading in terms of the policies and the way in which our government operates&rdquo; &mdash; a statement seemingly at odds with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/acb-destorys-kbjs-dissent-in-birthright-citizenship-case\/\" title=\"ACB Destorys KBJ&#039;s Dissent In Birthright Citizenship Case\">judicial supremacist views<\/a> she espoused in her <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/02\/ketanji-brown-jackson-was-appointed-to-be-a-political-activist-not-a-judge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unhinged<\/a> <em>Trump v. CASA<\/em> dissent last month. <\/p>\n<p>Jackson then turned to the writing of SCOTUS opinions, saying that she feels she&rsquo;s &ldquo;been privileged to &hellip; use the writings that [she does], the work that [she does], to explain [her] views about the way our government does and should work; the way the court does and should work.&rdquo; It is through this process, the Biden appointee noted, that she is able to tell the American people how she &ldquo;feel[s]&rdquo; about any given case and its outcome. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think the nice part about being on the court is you have the opportunity, whether you&rsquo;re in the majority or in the dissent, to express your opinions,&rdquo; Jackson said. &ldquo;I just feel that I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people, in my opinions, how I feel about the issues. And that&rsquo;s what I try to do.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That answer clearly didn&rsquo;t satisfy Davis&rsquo; desire for a more partisan response. The ABC anchor again probed the justice if she &ldquo;is concerned about the state of democracy today.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My feelings about the state of democracy have been expressed in the context of my opinions when issues come up related to democracy,&rdquo; Jackson replied. &ldquo;So, it&rsquo;s hard to say, you know, am I concerned in a general way?
