Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Dissents and What Keeps Her Up at Night - C-SPAN



Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson: "There are sometimes when, even after the principal dissent is written, I have a slightly different perspective or a different take on something or this is an issue of particular importance to me for whatever reason. Where I will say, 'Forgive me Justice Sotomayor, but I need to write on this case.' It's because I feel like I have something to offer, and something to add and I'm not afraid to use my voice."

When asked what keeps her up at night, Justice Jackson responds, "I would say the state of our democracy. I am really very interested in getting people to focus and to invest and to pay attention to what is happening in our country and in our government." - 07/12/2025.
