Controversial Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is being mocked for telling a light-hearted Q&A that she has sleepless nights worrying about “the state of our democracy.”
The leading dissenter on the country’s high court was being asked quickfire questions at the end of an Indianapolis Bar Association event Thursday, with topics including favorite books and songs.
“She’s functionally an activist, not a judge,” another jabbed. “Impartial judges committed to faithful application of the law don’t make incendiary comments like this in public.”
“Some of her dissents this term have been pretty embarrassing,” said another user — adding that some “sound like a substack post” rather than a ruling on the law.
Asked what keeps her up at night, the much-maligned justice turned serious, saying, “I would say the state of our democracy.”
“I’m really very interested in getting people to focus and to invest and to pay attention to what is happening in our country and in our government,” she continued to applause.
Brown, 54, did not have a chance to expand on her worries, or list any specific concerns.
However, critics were quick to jump on the comments, saying the real worry was the Biden-appointed justice, whose repeated dissents have faced sharp criticism from many other jurists, including fellow liberals.
“What keeps me up [at] night is knowing that we have unqualified Justices like Jackson on the SCOTUS,” quipped one X user.
Another similarly joked, “Having someone like her on the Supreme Court is what keeps me up at night.”

That wench couldn’t get a degree in underwater basket weaving.
The House can bring impeachment forward to get rid of her, but, sadly, being an idiot is probably not grounds. Should be, though.
If I were her, I’d pursue a different line of work.
Never forget that Collins, Murkowski and Rommney voted to confirm the stupidest, most activist and racist SC justice ever.
We need to be more careful when using this argument Neither ‘democracy’ nor ‘constitutional republic’ appear in the Constitution or Founding fathers’ writings. In contrast, ‘democracy’ is on their writings.
However, the concept of Constitutional Republic is very strong there. It’s just when the Constitution or Founding Fathers refer to the concept, they use the term ‘Republic’ or ‘Republican form of government’.
Now, while ‘democracy’ does appear in their writings, the founding fathers find it less desirable than ‘Republic’.
But that would take a second neuron.
I meant “constitutional republic’ is not found in either the Constitution or the writings.
In many places, they keep calling her a black woman.
Since the Justice herself could not answer the question - What is a Woman? - isn’t the media calling her a woman a sexist remark?
Oh, I’m sure she meant “the state of the Republic”! She’d have to be stupid to mischaracterize...never mind.
When she cannot sleep, she could recite the pledge of allegiance. That would help.
Democrats caused this crazy democracy.
As far as I am concerned, the term “triggered” indicates people lacking basic human emotional stability. In her case having to associate with people who refer to the Constitutions is just too traumatic. Since phycology counseling now promotes the social contagion she embraces, the only recourse would seem to be drugs.
Has she graduated high school?
Bluto: “My advice, KBJ, is to drink heavily.”
Controversial Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is being mocked for telling a light-hearted Q&A that she has sleepless nights worrying about “the state of our democracy.” Sweetheart, I’m not worried about ‘the state of our democracy’, I’m worried about the state of our Constitutional Republic.
I do too because of stupid, unqualified twits like yourself.
True. I’ve heard that these democratic people’s republics have “elections” in which the ruling party can expect to get 99+% of the vote.
But then, here in this country, we have been lectured by Democrats for years, how we must honor and accept results of elections. But they only seem to accept results when Democrats are elected to office.
Hoping for a brain aneurysm but one would a brain for that to happen.
LOL
I’m worried about the state of our democracy (even though we are a republic) when an imbecile like this can be on the USSC.
