In a discussion with Norah O’Donnell, Justice Jackson said she was “as prepared as anyone can be” for possible legal disputes that could require the Supreme Court to step in, something the court only does as a last resort, as the court is ultimately an apolitical institution and involvement in elections has one of the most political of outcomes.

Jackson dissented from the majority opinion and drafted her own opinion. She said in the interview, “I was concerned about a system that appeared to provide immunity for one individual under one set of circumstances when we have a criminal justice system that had ordinarily treated everyone the same.”
