SCOTUS Justice Jackson Gets Support From the Right in First Majority Ruling

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson released Tuesday’s first majority opinion after joining the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jackson was the one who wrote the opinion in Delaware vs. Pennsylvania Et. Al — a case concerning a dispute between multiple states on escheatment of unclaimed money. The court overruled objections from Delaware and greenlighted the continued authority of a special master in the proceedings consistent with the court opinion.

The eight other justices unanimously endorsed Parts I, II and III of the opinion. She was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanaugh in her opinion regarding Part IV-B. Part IV-B was rejected by Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Amy Coney Barrett.
