Supreme Court Media Dynamics

The current dynamics surrounding the Supreme Court reveal a disconnect between justices and public perception, particularly through their summer media engagements. Justices Neil Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson adopted contrasting media strategies, with Gorsuch seeking interviews aligned with his views while Jackson engaged with more diverse platforms. This segregation highlights a broader trend where judicial figures inhabit media bubbles similar to the public, suggesting that they may also be affected by political biases despite claims of judicial impartiality. As they approach a new term amidst public discontent, this divergence raises concerns about how their personal philosophies might inform judicial decision-making.
