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.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Has she gotten her biology degree yet?
We are not a ‘democracy’.
The ultimate Dunning-Kruger. She’s too stupid to know how stupid she is.
I wonder if anyone informed her that ours isn’t a “democracy”. Does the retard even know that?
Poor thing. But she’s proved herself and she can take early retirement with pride.
To liberals, “Democracy” means no one voting except them.
That’s because we are a REPUBLIC NOT as democracy.
Exactly, we are a constitutional republic!
She could read the Constitution for the first time. That’ll help her sleep.
Self realization is not always pleasant. I wish her additional and deeper self reflection, and perhaps a condo high enough to offer options.
To be more precise, America is a Constitutional Republic, NOT a democracy.
The United States is a Constitutional REPUBLIC, not a Democracy. And, she/it is an activist, not a qualified Jurist.
That’s awesome! We need to crank up our American Freedom and liberties and really keep her awake all night. Maybe she’ll go see a shrink.
Or at least this one part:
Article IV, Section 4:The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Winning!
More evidence she’s never read the Constitution since the word “democracy” isn’t in it. It’s not in any of our founding documents.
I am very concerned about this! For her own health, Justice Jackson needs to immediately resign, then go to some retreat and practice yoga.
You will eventually thank me for this sage advice, Justice Jackson.
