In January 2022, ''The New York Times'' reported that Jackson had "not yet written a body of appeals court opinions expressing a legal philosophy" because she had joined the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in the summer of 2021. However, ''The Times'' said, Jackson's earlier rulings "comported with those of a liberal-leaning judge", including her opinions blocking various Trump administration actions.<ref name="nyt" /> Additionally, a review of over 500 of her judicial opinions indicates she would likely be as liberal as Justice [[Stephen Breyer]], the justice she is nominated to replace.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Liptak |first1=Adam |title=Judge Jackson’s Rulings: Detailed, Methodical and Leaning Left |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/25/us/supreme-court-kentaji-brown-jackson-rulings.html |website=The New York Times |access-date=26 February 2022 |date=25 February 2022}}</ref>
 
According to Sahil Kapur, writing for NBC News, "Jackson fits well with the Democratic Party and the progressive movement's agenda" due to her relative youth, background as a public defender, and history of labor-friendly rulings.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Kapur|first=Sahil|date=January 26, 2022|title=Who is Ketanji Brown Jackson?
