Justice Jackson punches out her frustrations with the conservative Supreme Court in the boxing ring One of three liberals on a Supreme Court dominated by conservatives, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she has found an outlet for the frustration that can result from being in the minority on the nation's highest court: boxing.
She has been especially gratified by the reaction she has gotten from readers to one particular part of her story, raising her elder daughter, Talia, who was diagnosed with autism as a child and struggled in the kind of traditional school settings where Jackson herself had long thrived.
There have been more than a few dissents for the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, including the end of affirmative action in college admissions and a grant of broad immunity from criminal prosecution to former presidents for their official actions while in office.
“I take boxing lessons,” Jackson said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press at the Supreme Court.
Jackson's memoir, “Lovely One," for which she has received an advance of nearly $900,000 from publisher Random House, briefly topped The New York Times bestseller list in the fall.
