This was a solid quote about Ketanji Brown Jackson's style pissing off Enemy of the State Sir Samuel Alito:

Jackson slow-plays people, hitting them with a disorienting and unfamiliar premise before teasing them back to the core point, extracting key concessions along the way. It’s a technique likely rooted in her years cross-examining witnesses as an advocate, and it sticks out in appellate practice. But it really rubs arrogant guys the wrong way. It disrupts their planned conversation and makes them more and more agitated as they sink deeper into the quicksand she lays out.
