Ketanji Brown Jackson writes first Supreme Court majority opinion

This is the first of about a half-dozen opinions she is expected to write before the court closes session, most likely in late June. While the decision in the ruling released Tuesday was unanimous, not all justices signed the whole opinion written by Jackson.Jackson wrote her first dissenting opinion in early November in a case involving a death row inmate that claimed evidence was suppressed that could have proved his innocence in his trial.

She wrote that she would have thrown out the lower court's ruling"because Chinn's life is on the line, and given the substantial likelihood that the suppressed record would have changed the outcome at trial based on the Ohio courts' own representations." Last week, Jackson called out the Supreme Court in a fiery dissenting opinion for declining to hear a case that involved a man facing a nearly 160-year prison sentence who claimed he had ineffective counsel. She said the circuit court gave a"short shrift" to alleged facts that counsel for Quartavious Davis failed to enter a plea negotiation with prosecutors.

She joined the Supreme Court six days after the conservative-dominant court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer. She gained attention quickly as an insistent questioner, speaking more during her first week on the bench than at least two of her predecessors, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch.
