"I'm a mom and a real person and a wife and doing the best that I can." — Ketanji Brown Jackson

A dissent is the opportunity for the justices to express their differing views with respect to what the majority has done.

I follow the rules, whatever they are, with respect to ethical obligations. And it's important in my view to do so.

I am acutely aware that, as a judge in our system, I have limited power, and I am trying in every case to stay in my lane.

My husband has always seen this as a partnership. He is so self-sacrificing in parenting, caring for our household and my career. Early on, when we were first married, before we had kids, we would take turns. He took some time off in the residency to do research in D.C. so that I could work at the law firm I wanted.
