Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson faced controversy multiple times during her first year on the high court.
Her ethics were scrutinized, including questions about transparency in her disclosure filings.
She also dissented in a ruling on affirmative action policies, drawing criticism from Justice Clarence Thomas. (Trending: Assault Weapons Ban Set To Take Effect, Here’s What To Know)
Additionally, an ethics complaint was filed against her for allegedly failing to disclose her husband’s income from medical malpractice consulting fees.
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) said, “Justice Jackson made multiple amendments three days after President Biden nominated her.”
“Not one senator brought that up during her confirmation hearings. Not one of my colleagues here walked into her hearings with the buckets of mud that they’ve thrown against Justice Thomas. Not one,” Kennedy said.
In 2022, Jackson “inadvertently omitted” her husband’s income from consulting on medical malpractice cases along with disclosures about reimbursements for travel and board memberships.
An ethics complaint says Jackson has “repeatedly failed to disclose that her husband received income from medical malpractice consulting fees.”
“We know this by Justice Jackson’s own admission in her amended disclosure form for 2020, filed when she was nominated to the Supreme Court, that ‘some of my previously filed reports inadvertently omitted’ her husband’s income from ‘consulting on medical malpractice cases,’” the letter to the Judicial Conference read, alleging an ethics violation.
Critics suggest its unlikely that President Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland opens an investigation into the far-left justice.
