Ketanji Brown Jackson believes the Supreme Court's perception as overly political is a problem.

During an interview on Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated that it was problematic for the high court to be perceived as political.

Jackson stated that it is problematic for the court because the public perceives it as such, as public trust is crucial for the court to perform its duties.

In the past week, Jackson has discussed her new memoir "Lovely One" and her worries about the Trump immunity decision with various media outlets.

Jackson stated, "I am striving to emulate Justice Breyer's approach as a law clerk, which involved maintaining integrity, keeping personal views separate, and staying within my assigned role."

Jackson was questioned by Colbert about separating her personal beliefs from her judicial philosophy.

As a lawyer, you are trained to do something, and as a law clerk, you practice it. When clerking for a judge, you are responsible for helping to draft their opinions, sometimes disagreeing with what you are doing, but you must write in their voice and put out legal rulings in the way they would do it. This requires you to separate your own views from those of the law and the things you are working on.

Jackson replied, "Yes, I am confident that all Supreme Court justices share that idea," as the audience laughed.

""That's not funny to me, it's just a straightforward question," Colbert said to the audience."

In her first media appearance since being appointed to the Supreme Court in 2022, Jackson recently spoke to CBS News' Norah O'Donnell.

She expressed concern about a system that granted immunity to one individual under specific circumstances, while our criminal justice system typically treats everyone equally, as stated in the court's majority opinion on the Trump immunity decision.

In July, the Supreme Court determined that a former president enjoys significant protection from legal action for acts performed while in office, but not for personal actions.

O'Donnell was informed by her that she backed an "enforceable code" of ethics for Supreme Court justices.

As a judge, I adhere to ethical obligations and follow any rules that may apply, regardless of their nature. In my opinion, it is crucial to do so. Impartiality is the essence of the rules, which ensure that people are aware of any gifts or conflicts of interest that may affect my judgments.
