Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writes 1st Supreme Court majority opinion

The opinion released Tuesday in a dispute between states over unclaimed money is one of roughly a half dozen she is expected to write by the time the court finishes its work for the summer, usually in late June. The decision was unanimous, though all the justices didn’t join the whole opinion.

Each justice typically writes at least one opinion from the seven separate two-week arguments sessions the court holds from early October to late April. But in January and February, for example, the court has only seven argued cases each month, meaning there are not enough to go around.Jackson, 52, is the first Black woman to serve as a justice and just the third Black person on the court.

Jackson wrote her first dissenting opinion in November, in support of a death row inmate from Ohio who failed to win Supreme Court review of his case. Lawyers for the inmate, Davel Chinn, argued that the state suppressed evidence that might have altered the outcome of his trial. Jackson wrote that she would have ordered lower courts to take another look at the case. Only Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined Jackson’s opinion.

How a Supreme Court justice's paragraph put the Voting Rights Act in more dangerJustice Neil Gorsuch tacked on a handful of sentences to a 2021 Supreme Court ruling, planting the seeds of a legal fight that could further weaken Voting Rights Act protections for people of color. Yeah, you people are independent 🤣🙄🤮 What are these protections they are being stripped of? Never specific examples… just vague statements of doom and gloom… which is contrary to recent election turnouts. It seems this argument is detached from reality. And why wouldn't he? What possible consequences does he face? Lifetime appointment, almost 100% guarantee you won't be impeached so why wouldn't they become radicalized?
