WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said Monday that the Supreme Court risks being seen as political in the wake of a major voting rights decision.<\/p>\n

She spoke after writing a solo dissent from the court\u2019s decision allowing Louisiana to move quickly to use new maps after the court\u2019s conservative majority struck down a majority-Black district and weakened the Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic confidence is really all the judiciary has,\u201d she said at a talk before the American Law Institute in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone believes the court system is outside the political sphere. I think that means it\u2019s incumbent on us to do things, to act in ways, that shore up public confidence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Polling has shown public trust in the Supreme Court at historic lows in recent years, and Chief Justice John Roberts has separately bemoaned a perception that the justices are \u201cpolitical actors,\u201d calling it a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

Jackson has become a frequent dissenter on the Supreme Court, joining her liberal colleagues last month to oppose the 6-3 decision that hollowed out the Voting Rights Act and later writing for herself to protest an order allowing Louisiana to use new maps even though early primary voting had already begun. She said the court had \u201cspawned chaos\u201d amid a fierce nationwide redistricting battle.<\/p>\n

Three of her conservative colleagues on the court forcefully disagreed, calling her criticism \u201cbaseless\u201d and saying accusations of partisanship aren\u2019t justified. The alternative, they wrote, would have been to allow an election under a map found to be unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
