Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has made a name for herself with her lengthy liberal opinions in the four years she has sat on the Supreme Court, and although during the last term she dominated oral arguments, she found herself on an island more frequently than the other justices when it came time to issue rulings.Jackson, appointed to the high court by former President Joe Biden in 2022, was the most vocal member of the Supreme Court during the 58 oral arguments held from October 2025 through the end of April 2026, according to a Washington Examiner review of Supreme Court oral argument transcripts. Her questions accounted for nearly 22% of the words said by all nine Supreme Court justices during those arguments, significantly more than the second-most vocal member of the court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, whose questions made up 14.84% of the justices’ speaking during arguments.Of the 75,286 words Jackson said throughout the nearly five dozen oral argument sessions, she spoke the most during the arguments for Louisiana v. Callais, in which the high court eventually ruled to strike down Louisiana’s second black-majority congressional district as unconstitutional. At 2,737 words, Jackson said more than 1,000 more words than the second-most vocal justice during that hearing.
