(MENAFN- BreezyScroll)

The Senate hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's nominee for the Supreme court are beginning on Monday. Here are some experts from her previous opinions that you should know.

In 2019, Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked President trump and his administration's plan for expanding fast-track deportation. The administration wanted to deport people irrespective of their arrest for crossing the Mexican borders. The ruling was important for turning the compiled Administrative Procedure Act more reasoned and explained.“There is no question in this Court's mind that an agency cannot possibly conduct reasoned. Non-arbitrary decision making concerning policies that might impact real people and not take such real-life circumstances into account,” wrote Jackson.

Additionally, she was vital in expressing sadness over the failure of Homeland Security. She stated that is important how the expanded deportation policy is affecting people's lives. Congress gave the secretary of Homeland security, much discretion on expanding and speeding up the deportations.“This Court finds that Congress has spoken in no uncertain terms about the limits of judicial review. When it comes to legal claims that challenge on non-constitutional grounds the DHS Secretary's authority to waive otherwise-applicable legal requirements. With respect to the construction of border barriers,” she added.

In 2019, she also ruled on the dispute between Democrats and the Trump administration. The dispute was over the efforts to subpoena Don McGhan, former White House counsel to testify to Congress. President Trump stated his close advisers were free from appearing before Congress. However, frank advice was necessary without the fear of it going public. Later, Jackson rejected the arguments with a 120-page long opinion declaring that“presidents are not kings”. She also wrote that for a President's top aides,“absolute immunity from the compelled congressional process simply does not exist”.

“This means that they do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control. Rather, in this land of liberty, it is indisputable that current. Former employees of the White House work for the People of the United States. They take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States ,” she wrote.

Ketanji Brown Jackson is truly a force to reckon with. She also challenged a Trump-era law making it easier for government agencies to impose changes in the workplace. The cursory policy statement that the FLRA issued to justify its choice to abandon 35 years of precedent promoting. Applying the de minimis standard and adopting the previously rejected substantial-impact test is arbitrary and capricious,” she wrote.

“Challenged executive orders reflect a decidedly different policy choice. Namely, the President's stated view that federal employees' right to engage in collective bargaining over the conditions of their employment”. Makes government less efficient and“should be rendered subordinate to the agencies' interest 'in developing efficient, effective, and cost-reducing collective bargaining agreements,” added Jackson. However, she was lacking claims over the claims made by the unions.
