IN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION RULING, BLACK JUSTICES TAKE AIM AT EACH OTHER

Even as Justices Clarence Thomas and Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared to agree
over the policy’s aim, they harshly criticized each other’s conclusions on what
to do.

In an extraordinary exchange that played out among the pages of a landmark
decision by the Supreme Court declaring race-conscious admissions at colleges
and universities across the nation unlawful, two Black justices battled over the
merits of affirmative action.

In sharp rebuttals, Justices Clarence Thomas and Ketanji Brown Jackson harshly
criticized each other’s perspectives, reflecting the deep divisions and passions
Americans have over the practice. Even as they appeared to agree over the
policy’s aim — remedying the longstanding discrimination and segregation of
Black Americans — they drew opposite conclusions on how and what to do.



Abbie VanSickle covers the Supreme Court with a focus on the world of the court,
including its role in politics and the lives of the justices. She is a Pulitzer
Prize-winning reporter and a graduate of the U.C. Berkeley School of Law.
