In a Supreme Court term that handed Trump and conservatives, big wins, Ketanji Brown Jackson − the newest justice − has emerged as fierce voice of dissent.

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.

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.

When her two liberal colleagues sided with the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, Justice Jackson issued a blistering 15-page dissent.

The Supreme Court's conservatives said it was a federal judge in San Francisco, not President Trump, who exceeded her authority.

In her CASA dissent, Justice Jackson gestures to a split screen, a world in which justice and injustice can live side by side within a single regime.
