Jackson's own speech introducing herself to the nation at a White House event emphasized traits that are likely to appeal to conservatives. Jackson opened by "thanking God for delivering me to this point in my professional journey," and stating
that "one can only come this far by faith." She also mentioned her parents' 54-year-long marriage, and the fact that her brother and two of her uncles worked as police officers; one of those uncles, as chief of police in Miami, Florida.

I do not have a judicial philosophy per se
When answering a question during her last confirmation hearing about her judicial philosophy, Jackson said: "I do not have a judicial philosophy per se, other than to apply the same method of thorough analysis to every case, regardless of the parties."
She added, "Given the very different functions of a trial court judge and a Supreme Court justice, I am not able to draw an analogy between any particular justice's judicial philosophy and the approach that I have employed."
