Many on the left have whined and complained that the U.S. Supreme Court is too "political," and some of the justices are worried about that public perception.

According to Fox News, one of those is Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, one of three liberal justices on the high court, who recently told late night host Stephen Colbert that she believes such a perception is "problematic."

While many might have been surprised by her take on the matter, she also happens to be pushing her new book, "Lovely One," and has spent the past few weeks making the rounds on television.

It's undoubtedly an incentive for her at this point to make headlines in an effort to drive up book sales.

What did she say?

When speaking to Colbert, she explained that the high court relies on "public trust," and said that the perception that the Supreme Court has become too political jeopardizes that.

"I think it’s problematic for the court that that's a perception that the public has. Because we really rely on public trust in order to do our jobs," Jackson said.

Jackson then took the time to praise herself and her actions as the newest and youngest justice on the high court's bench.

"I think I am doing my best to do what judges do, what Justice Breyer modeled for me when I was a law clerk for him. Having integrity, separating out my personal views, staying in my lane," she said.

Separation of beliefs

Colbert questioned Jackson personally as to how she separates her personal beliefs from the business and decisions that need to take place in her role as a Supreme Court justice.

"It’s something that you’re trained to do as a lawyer, and it’s something that you practice as a law clerk. Because when you are clerking for a judge, you’re responsible for helping to draft their opinions, and sometimes you may disagree with what you’re doing, but you have to do your best to write in their voice and to put out legal rulings in the way that they would do it," Jackson said.

She added, "So you learn how to separate out your own views from that of the law and the things that you’re working on."

Jackson also indicated that she's in support of enacting an "enforceable code" for Supreme Court justices, a topic of recent controversy generated by leftists.
