SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the newest addition to the 6-3 conservative majority, has maintained a track record of landing in the majority of every decision so far this term.
Appointed by President Joe Biden as the first black woman on the high court, Jackson wrote her second decision Wednesday since she succeeded Justice Stephen Breyer on the nine-member bench last year. The Supreme Court has issued 13 full opinions as of April 19, and Jackson is the only one who has remained in the majority for all 13 written rulings.
Jackson's second written opinion, published on Wednesday, was joined by the full court to overturn a lower court's decision against the parent company of the Minneapolis-based Mall of America. The decision means the nation's largest shopping complex can challenge a lease it made decades ago with Sears, which was later sold to a new owner during the department chain's bankruptcy.
One of Kavanaugh's opinions rejected a Turkish bank's primary arguments for dismissing a lawsuit accusing it of helping Iran evade sanctions from the United States, sending the matter back to its original jurisdiction for additional review. A second opinion he authored paved the way for a Texas death row inmate, Rodney Reed, to seek post-conviction DNA evidence to try and prove his innocence.
"I'm guessing we see lengthier dissents from the liberal justices later in the term and in cases that have more to do with civil liberties. This has historically been the general area where the justices divide ideologically," Feldman said.
