And what it means is that, if I steal someone&rsquo;s wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me,&rdquo; Jackson said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to, under Japanese law, go and prosecute the person who has stolen it. So there&rsquo;s this relationship, even though I&rsquo;m just a temporary traveler, I&rsquo;m just on vacation in Japan, I&rsquo;m still locally owing allegiance, in that sense.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Is that the right way to think about it? And if so, doesn&rsquo;t that explain why both temporary residents and undocumented people would have that kind of allegiance just by virtue of being in the United States?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>To get the obvious question out of the way: No. That&rsquo;s not the right way to think about it.<\/p>\n<p>Being subject to a country&rsquo;s laws by virtue of being present within its borders doesn&rsquo;t constitute &ldquo;allegiance,&rdquo; it constitutes the rule of law. (To be fair, Jackson, as an appointee of former President Joe Biden, might not be all that familiar with that particular concept.)<\/p>\n<p>Americans who visit foreign countries are strongly advised to follow the laws of those countries, or they might end up getting an immersive language course behind bars for an uncomfortably long time.

or anyone else in the courtroom.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it did little but remind court watchers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ketanji-brown-jackson-accidentally-reveals-fundamentally-misunderstands-role-supreme-court-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how truly unqualified<\/a> she is to be a lifetime member of a court with final say over the laws of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson&rsquo;s principal accomplishment in the years since her confirmation in 2022 has been to prove that her only qualifications on the court are the qualifications Biden chose her for &mdash; she&rsquo;s black, and she&rsquo;s a woman (even if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-scotus-nominee-says-cant-define-word-woman-not-biologist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she couldn&rsquo;t explain<\/a> during her confirmation hearings what the term &ldquo;woman&rdquo; means, because, she explained, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a biologist.&rdquo;)<\/p>\n<p>Even her liberal comrades on the court, Justices Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/even-fellow-liberal-supreme-court-justices-getting-fed-ketanji-brown-jackson-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reportedly tiring of her<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(The fact that she stood alone in her dissent in a ruling protecting First Amendment rights in Colorado&rsquo;s &ldquo;conversion therapy&rdquo;

The article reminds readers that, during her confirmation hearings, she said she couldn\u2019t define what a \u201cwoman\u201d is. In the current discussion, she used a Japan wallet-theft example to illustrate \u201callegiance,\u201d suggesting that a U.S. citizen visiting Japan could be arrested and prosecuted there because of Japan\u2019s laws. Critics argued this conflates simply being subject to another country\u2019s laws with having genuine allegiance, and they contended the analogy didn\u2019t shed clear light on the citizenship question.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative voices seized on the remarks, with commentators denouncing the analogy and questioning Jackson\u2019s fit for the Court. The piece notes social-media backlash and cites critics who mocked the argument and questioned her qualifications. It also points out that President Donald Trump attended the oral arguments in person, underscoring the political stakes of the case for his agenda on immigration. Beyond the specific moment, the article argues that Jackson\u2019s performance reflects broader concerns about diversity, equity, and inclusion in judicial appointments, and it suggests even some liberal colleagues on the Court may be growing weary of her.
