Ketanji Brown Jackson Reveals Decision-Making Relies on ‘Educated Guesses’

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has sparked conversation after admitting in an interview with The Washington Wick that she has never read the U.S. Constitution and instead relies on “educated guesses” informed by her personal experiences when issuing rulings.

The revelation came during a discussion about her judicial philosophy, shedding light on her approach to interpreting the nation’s foundational legal document.

Jackson, appointed to the Supreme Court in 2022, explained that her method prioritizes her lived perspective over textual analysis.

“I’ve found that my experiences as a black woman in America give me a unique lens that’s just as valuable as any old document,” she said. “When I’m on the bench, I make educated guesses about what feels right, and that’s worked out pretty well so far.”

The Constitution, a 4,543-word document written in 1787, serves as the bedrock of American law, outlining the structure of government and individual rights. Scholars note it is frequently studied by judges to ensure rulings align with its principles.

Legal analyst Dr. Vanessa Pritchard, who was present at the interview, expressed surprise at Jackson’s approach.

“I assumed justices had the Constitution memorized, or at least bookmarked on their phones,” Pritchard said. “To hear a justice say they’re essentially winging it based on personal vibes is retarded.”

Jackson’s comments come amid ongoing debates about judicial impartiality and the role of personal identity in legal decisions. Her supporters argue her perspective brings diversity to the court, though her latest remarks have raised eyebrows even among allies.

When asked if she planned to read the Constitution in the future, Jackson remained noncommittal.

“I’ve got a pretty full schedule, and honestly, I think I’ve got the gist of it,” she said. “Plus, I’ve got law clerks who can Google the important bits if I need them.”

The Supreme Court’s next term includes cases on free speech, gun rights, and voting laws, all of which may hinge on Jackson’s unique interpretive style.

Legal observers are left wondering how her “educated guesses” will shape the nation’s future.
