Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made her Broadway debut this weekend. She also made history as the first member of the nation's highest court to grace its storied stage, according to the production that invited her. Jackson appeared in a one-night-only walk-on role on Saturday night in the Tony-nominated romantic comedy musical & Juliet, a modern take on Shakespeare's tragedy that imagines what would have happened if the female protagonist survived and took control of her own life.
Also teased on this week's Wait... Wait... Don't Tell Me on NPR Radio / Podcasting platform. She and Mo Rocca were together in university drama studies.
Brown Jackson is One of the Most Qualified Nominees for the Supreme Court Ever... 👩🏿⚖️ She has OBTAINED THE MOST DIPLOMA'S compared to the other judges....
I once said I wanted to do stand up comic. My oldest daughter said oh my goodness we’re going to Stare. Because I had a good paying administration job 😂. Never follow my dream. But I do have jokes🤭🤣
Later, & Juliet posted behind-the-scenes footage on social media showing Jackson rehearsing songs and choreography, getting her hair and makeup done and trying on her monochromatic teal costume featuring baggy jeans, a tunic and a corset. It also captures the moment when a cast member brings Jackson onstage, at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, introducing her by name as the night's "very special guest." Jackson ran onto the stage - and later took her final bows - to roars of applause.
Good for her. For her, the SCOTUS has literally turned into one of those jobs where you lay there and ask yourself, “do I really even need this job? “…when your alarm goes off. ⏰
She just took the role away from somebody who probably has worked her whole life for a moment like that, and this judge has gone on to do other things and not qualified to be involved in a production.
If you’d paid attention you’d know she took theater classes as a child and performing on Broadway was a childhood dream and *the role was created specifically for her.*
@debbiedoodiedandi Rich people and/or corporations own the play that the Justice performed in. Is she going to have to recuse herself from any case that comes before her in the future dealing with these individuals/ corporations ? That is what the issues are with Thomas.
@@OklahomaGirl - That's the thing. She probably would, because she's already recused herself once since she joined SCOTUS. Thomas, on the other hand, hasn't recuse himself at all from cases his wife has ties to or people who have given him donations.
Lies. She did not say she didn’t know, she said she’s not a biologist. Experts say there is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman. Ketanji Brown Jackson didn’t fall for Blackburn’s loaded question about transgender identity during her confirmation hearings.
This is cringe. Imagine the backlash if Broadway were to write a role for Melania Trump. But I gotta say... Ketanji is pretty good. I went to a prestigious acting conservatory. Ketanji could pass as a theatre kid. Brains and performance ability. Those of us in the center or "on the r!ght" will always acknowledge a job well done. 👍
What’s cringe is using Ketanji Brown Jackson and Melania in the same context. Then going on to passive aggressively “praise” KBJ’s acting. That’s also cringe.
I'm sorry but the feeling of Ketanji being a justice and on Broadway leaves an unpleasant look or bad aftertaste in my mouth. No disrespect for her personally or the achievement, just not a pleasant look for a US Supreme Court justice from my viewpoint.
@@bonanimathambo8721🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ the issue is that the most important piece 2 being the highest judge in the land is that you are to appear impartial & non biased... broadway, movies etc r highly political & contain alot of political biased innuendos smh
This was an absolutely terrible idea. She's on "The Supreme Court Of The United States". She's suppose to be held, to a higher standard. This just makes her look like a buffoon.
So...if you have that job you shouldn't follow your dreams, enjoy yourself, have a sense of humor and just be a boring, stodgy person with no interest in anything else other than being on the Supreme Court. Gotcha. 🤦🏼♂️🫤

She said this was a dream of hers. Kudos to her. Anyone with an issue with it has an issue with themselves.
💯
Agreed hun. Good for her! Anyone who mocks it is just mean.

Why isn’t Sesame Street on PBS??
Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Maybe the greatest performance I have ever seen!
The usual condescending, passive aggressive and hypocritical comment.
She’s such an inspiration ❤
Congratulations Ketanji Brown Jackson 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That’s JUSTICE Ketanji Brown Jackson to you 😆…j/k….yes, that’s pretty cool! 😊 👏🏼

Ok, this isn’t weird at all.
Don’t feed the trolls 😅
Good for her. For her, the SCOTUS has literally turned into one of those jobs where you lay there and ask yourself, “do I really even need this job? “…when your alarm goes off. ⏰
🙄🙄🙄 be better!
Am I the only one finding this kinda weird?
Not as weird as the SCOTUS. I’d be moonlighting too.
It's not weird to me besides nevermind
Why weird you just elected a criminal to be president nothing is weirder than that
Why weird the country just elected a criminal to be president nothing gets weirder than that
What would you expect from her if not that
She just took the role away from somebody who probably has worked her whole life for a moment like that, and this judge has gone on to do other things and not qualified to be involved in a production.
She took theatre at Harvard, dip. And the role was created for her
If you’d paid attention you’d know she took theater classes as a child and performing on Broadway was a childhood dream and *the role was created specifically for her.*
@ I did pay attention, I think she should pick a dream… people aren’t content with having cushy jobs anymore, everyone just wants to be a celebrity.
@ doing theatre has nothing to do with wanting to be a celebrity,dip
@ I haven’t once insulted you and you keep calling me dip just because I disagree. This is my comment, maybe go to where your opinion is echoed.
This country is going fall smh
Why ? 😂
😐🤨
If she found enough time to do this, the Supreme Court judges need more work.
😞
It must kill you to see politicians play golf then
Go chase trucks down the highway barefoot.
I dont know what a woman is - kentaji
I like the view, but I’m tired with Whoopi keep giving Sunny all the airtimes and shut down Alyssa every time shestarts speaking.
Imagine how this panel criticised Broadway if that was one of the conservative justices.
Good for her, though.
Right
nobody would invite a conservative Justice on Broadway LOL
@ Yes, we know the “tolerant left” is intolerant of anybody who’s not on the left and would never invite them. This is not news.
So what is the difference btw receiving this gift and Thomas receiving gifts?
Please tell me what cases the producers of this show have in front of the Supreme Court. That would be the best place to start the conversation
@debbiedoodiedandi Rich people and/or corporations own the play that the Justice performed in. Is she going to have to recuse herself from any case that comes before her in the future dealing with these individuals/ corporations ? That is what the issues are with Thomas.

@debbiedoodiedandi That is not true. He has recused himself in the past and one of the cases did deal with January 6th.
@@OklahomaGirl he refused himself from 1 Jan 6th case, and that was just for show.
Q: What is a woman? A: I don’t know because I’m not a biologist
Are you a nevermind?

Look I have nothing against a Supreme Court justice on broadway but this was so cringe
I'm not sure a Supreme Court Justice should be performing on Broadway.
Why not? She’s free to do it just like anybody else.
I’m not sure we should have a President who was on the apprentice either
@bonanimathambo8721 thank you
@@tcdan-c2m That’s a non sequitur.

the one who can't define what a woman is LOL!!!!! she will forever be known for that
We're supposed to take a diversity-hire, Broadway star Supreme Court Justice seriously?
Yes
@@angelbeautpre
Thank you for admitting that she was a "diversity" hire for the Supreme Court!
@ she’s not just a diversity hire. She’s very qualified for her position
I'm sorry but the feeling of Ketanji being a justice and on Broadway leaves an unpleasant look or bad aftertaste in my mouth. No disrespect for her personally or the achievement, just not a pleasant look for a US Supreme Court justice from my viewpoint.
It’s fine. Justices are just regular people too. If she wants to play golf or perform on stage, I don’t see the issue.
WE HAVE A CONVICTED FELON AS PRESIDENT. Who the heck cares what anyone does now? Especially something as geeky as a walk-on part in a Broadway show.
Hmmm...it looks bad for a justice to have a bit part that has nothing to do with the law....but y'all don't bat an eye at bribes?

Can't take her seriously the minute she said she couldn't say what a woman is shows she doesn't belong on court if any.
