Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made history by debuting on Broadway in the musical “& Juliet,” becoming the first sitting justice to perform on stage. She expressed her love for theater and emphasized that justices are also human beings with dreams. Jackson, appointed by President Biden in 2022, highlighted the musical's themes of female empowerment and gender nonconformity. She has been an advocate for women's rights and has recently shown support for transgender rights in a pending case. In contrast to Jackson's artistic pursuits, other justices have faced scrutiny for accepting luxury gifts and vacations from donors. Jackson's performance aims to inspire others to pursue their dreams and not be discouraged.
