Summary
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., sent a letter to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, urging an investigation into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s attendance at the Grammy Awards. Jackson was nominated for an audiobook award and clapped during anti-ICE rhetoric from celebrities and artists. Critics claimed Jackson’s actions violate the high court’s Code of Conduct and may require her to recuse herself from certain cases.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Jackson’s attendance at the Grammy Awards was a public function, but the event’s tone and rhetoric were unusual.
Attendees wore “ICE Out” lapel pins, and some winners made anti-ICE statements.
The event raises questions about Jackson’s impartiality, especially considering the court’s upcoming cases on birthright citizenship and immigration.
The observation is obvious: the performance of outrage and politics at the Grammy Awards is a familiar ritual, and the reaction to it is predictable.
