[MAIL] Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson shocked the audience at Broadway's &Juliet this past weekend as she 'fulfilled a lifelong dream' to make her debut - but it has led to some less than stellar reviews.Jackson appeared in three scenes on Saturday night - singing in harmony during the Backstreet Boys song 'Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely.'
By stepping into the limelight, Justice Jackson, the first black woman to sit on the court, also inadvertently invited criticism and skepticism about her dedication to maintaining the court’s revered image.
Jackson had previously told of her dream of 'becoming the first Black, female Supreme Court Justice to appear on a Broadway stage', but it has now led to some on social media to question if she is in the wrong role when it comes to her day job.
'She should have just been an actress,' stated one user on X.
'Tells you everything about this woman. Broadway is a bigger deal than the Supreme Court,' added another.
'If you needed proof Ketanji Brown Jackson does not belong on the Supreme Court, here it is. Absolutely disgraceful that she did this. Shame on her and on those who confirmed her,' stated conservative radio host Eric Metaxas.
Retired sheriff's deputy Penny Farrington agreed that Jackson performed better on stage than in court: 'She is far better suited in this role....instead of an Honorable Justice of the Supreme Court.
