Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Doing Magazine Covers Now — and Legal Experts Are Furious

Legal observers wasted no time pointing out the obvious: Supreme Court justices are not celebrities, and treating them like celebrities corrodes the one thing that gives the Court its legitimacy — the perception of impartiality

The contradiction is breathtaking. Democrats spent years screaming that the Supreme Court’s legitimacy was under assault — that conservative justices were politicizing the institution. Now their marquee justice is posing for collector’s edition magazine covers with activist slogans, and the same people who clutched their pearls over Justice Thomas’s RV are completely silent.

Just insane. Insane that there is no real constitutional or legal mechanism in place to remove this patently unqualified justice from the nation’s highest court. https://t.co/snxS6aNlUi

Not to accumulate a fanbase. Not to become a cultural icon. The moment a justice starts thinking of herself as “The People’s Champion,” she has already stopped thinking of herself as a neutral arbiter of the Constitution — and everything that follows flows from that corruption of purpose.

The American people deserve a Supreme Court that belongs to no one’s team. Not the left’s. Not the right’s. Just the law’s.
