The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 7-2 decision concerning the court's approach to error correction and the shadow docket. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, dissented from the majority opinion. Jackson expressed concern over the court's aggressive use of error correction in this context. Her dissent reflects a focus on the proper scope and process for relief, highlighting procedural issues. The dissent also drew attention for its perceived irony in relation to a previous dissent by Jackson in the Libby case, where she argued that ethics rules might supersede First Amendment rights. The case and Jackson's dissent have sparked discussion about the balance between precedent, democratic principles, and judicial ethics.

Can someone help me understand Justice Jackson's dissent in the Libby case? Is she actually arguing that ethics rules supersede First Amendment rights?
