Ketanji Brown Jackson has only been on the bench for three days — and she's already making her mark.

I have never seen a justice begin a career on the high court in the manner we are seeing from Jackson. , though, the court’s current makeup — and the cases the justices are scheduled to hear — could lead Jackson on a different path.From the first oral argument Monday, in a Clean Water Act case, Jackson was participating fully — raising significant questions about the meaning of “adjacency” and engaging in back-and-forth discussions with the lawyers appearing before the court.
The justice’s evidence was fact. But this line of argument has been all but cut out of legal debate in recent decades. This was not a standalone point. It was a windup to a dismissal of an entire motivating principle of the conservative legal movement. It was what I imagine is just the beginning of Jackson’s argument — on conservatives’ own ground of “history and traditions” — against “race-neutral” constitutional standards in a nation of regular, systemic and extreme examples of racism.
