As the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris "inspires hope" for many people, according to Ketanji Brown Jackson.
During her appearance on 'The View,' Jackson was questioned about Vice President Harris's "groundbreaking election."
On Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared on "The View" and stated that Vice President Kamala Harris' Democratic nomination was bringing "a lot of hope" to many people.
As the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, Jackson stated that she believes many people were happy about her appointment because they viewed it as a step forward for the country.
"Sara Haines of "The View" queried Jackson about his thoughts on Harris' "historic candidacy," which was prompted by Biden's pledge to choose a Black woman."
Whenever someone moves into a new position, it gives a lot of people hope, as Jackson said.
Jackson clarified that being the first to do a job doesn't make him unique, but rather it's the changes in society and time that make him stand out.
Haines inquired about the courts' potential decision to validate the 2024 election outcomes.
Jackson stated that he was confident that our courts would diligently adhere to the law, as it is our responsibility.
Although Jackson couldn't respond to questions regarding possible outcomes from the Donald Trump immunity verdict, she expressed her differing viewpoint. In July, the Supreme Court determined that a former president enjoys considerable protection from legal action for official acts performed during their presidency, but not for unofficial acts.
Jackson dissented from the decision.
She began by stating her view, which was that our criminal justice system applies the law equally to everyone, and in special circumstances, we recognize certain defenses such as self-defense and defense of others. Additionally, there are legal situations where a person can be excused. She also mentioned the possibility that if a president uses certain authorities or powers in response to a situation, it could be considered a defense.
Instead of the majority, they decided to create a new system for presidents and former presidents that exempts them from the law under certain circumstances. They are immune from being asked about or prosecuted for certain criminal activity, which she found inconsistent with her view of constitutional norms.
Last week, she informed CBS News' Norah O'Donnell that she was worried about the majority's decision. Jackson is currently promoting her new memoir "Lovely One" through a media tour.
