FIRST ON “CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING”: Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Ketanji Brown Jackson talks with CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell about former President Donald Trump, the Supreme Court and more in her first interview about her new memoir, Lovely One.

In a first look at the interview feature on CBS EVENING NEWS WITH NORAH O’DONNELL, airing today, Aug. 27 (6:30-7:00 PM, ET), Justice Brown discusses the Court’s recent decisions regarding Mr. Trump.

Must credit CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING.

Here’s an excerpt:

NORAH O’DONNELL: In your dissent, you wrote that, “The court declared for the first time in history that the most powerful official in the United States can, under circumstances yet to be fully determined, become a law unto himself.” Sounds like a warning.

KETANJI BROWN JACKSON: Well, I mean, that was my view of what the court determined.

O’DONNELL: You were concerned about broad immunity?

BROWN JACKSON: 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.

O’DONNELL: Are you prepared that this election could end up before the Supreme Court?

BROWN JACKSON: As prepared as anyone can be. (LAUGH) Let me ask you, are you prepared for all of the news cycles that you’re getting as a result of this election?

O’DONNELL: Um, no.

BROWN JACKSON: No, exactly. (LAUGH) I mean, I think there are legal issues that arise out of the political process. And so, the Supreme Court has to be prepared to respond – if – if that should be necessary.

The interview will be broadcast on CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING, Sunday, Sept. 1 (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+, with additional preview clips to come this week.
