Jackson, a Biden nominee, was recently criticized by fellow Justice Amy Coney Barrett in a ruling on birthright citizenship.

It is patently clear now (if it weren’t all the way back to the dueling historical narratives in Heller) that this is an exercise in bad history and cherry-picking. Why pretend otherwise? Those now ascendant didn’t indulge the old majorities by using their frames when dissenting and instead used them to build a cadre of fellow travelers.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in a Supreme Court order handed down on Tuesday stood out enough that it prompted one of her liberal colleagues to voice disagreement with her.

Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine said on Wednesday that he is not a fan of how political Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sometimes appears to be. Even the other liberal justices on the bench wouldn’t join Jackson on Tuesday in opposing President Donald Trump’s administration’s endeavors to downsize the federal workforce.
