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.
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.
