Ketanji Brown Jackson Ideology

In January 2022, The New York Times reported that Jackson had “not yet written a body of appeals court opinions expressing a legal philosophy,” because she had joined the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in the summer of 2021. However, they said, Jackson’s earlier rulings “comported with those of a liberal-leaning judge,” including her opinions blocking various Trump administration actions.

According to Sahil Kapur, writing for NBC News, “Jackson fits well with the Democratic Party and the progressive movement’s agenda” due to her relative youth, background as a public defender, and history of labor-friendly rulings.
