Justice Jackson is a hardcore left wing partisan. She is not doing the job of a judge. She is not pretending to do the job of a judge.

Analysis Summary
A Wall Street Journal analysis found that Ketanji Brown Jackson voted against the Trump administration 98 percent of the time in 100 major cases—a real data point used by Ted Cruz. But this framing is strategically incomplete: Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas aligned with the Trump administration 89 and 88 percent of the time, respectively, yet the post frames only Jackson as extreme, ignoring that the entire Supreme Court now shows wide gaps in voting between Republican and Democratic appointees through "partisan sorting".
Jackson is a liberal justice nominated by a Democratic president, which naturally influences her judicial philosophy. But characterizing her as a "radical left-wing activist" misses the fuller picture. In practice, Jackson sometimes joins conservative justices in the majority and has shown openness to legal perspectives beyond Democratic Party positions. Her record demonstrates she's doing the actual work of a sitting associate justice—hearing cases, writing majority and dissenting opinions, and participating fully in the Court's deliberations—rather than simply rubber-stamping one political agenda.
The post cherry-picks the 98% statistic to paint Jackson as uniquely partisan while omitting the structural context of court-wide polarization and the nuance of how she actually votes.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Justice Jackson is a hardcore left wing partisan.”
A Wall Street Journal analysis (cited by The Federalist) found Jackson voted against Trump 98% in 100 major cases; conservative-appointed justices Alito and Thomas aligned 89% and 88%. However, the framing of 'partisan' is debated—academic research confirms the entire Court is more polarized, not just Jackson.
“She is not doing the job of a judge. She is not pretending to do the job of a judge.”
This is subjective characterization. Jackson herself disputes this framing, saying dissents show justices can work across ideological lines. A counterargument notes justices still vote together in 53% of cases (Alito & Jackson least frequently) and many decisions are unanimous.
“I have not seen one decision that varies from what the most radical Democrat activist would want.”
In Trump v. Barbara (birthright citizenship), Jackson joined Chief Justice Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Barrett in a non-ideological 6-3 alignment, demonstrating she votes differently from a simple partisan script. She also voted with conservatives in unanimous or near-unanimous decisions.
