Ketanji Brown Jackson, seen by Democrats as a top contender for a future Supreme Court vacancy, is one of three judges assigned the weighty task of reviewing former President Trump’s bid to block a congressional subpoena for records related to the Jan. 6 attack.
For Jackson, who has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit for just six months, her vote in the potentially landmark constitutional case would likely figure as the most distinguishing feature of her judicial record if she ultimately runs the gauntlet of a polarized Supreme Court confirmation process.
“Judge Jackson’s role in the executive privilege fight will no doubt play a prominent spot in a nomination hearing if, as anticipated, she is ultimately selected as the next nominee for the Supreme Court by President Biden,” said Bradley Moss, a national security law expert and partner in the Law Office of Mark S. Zaid.
