Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson appeared in a “woke” Broadway rendition of Romeo & Juliet simply entitled “& Juliet.” Video of her performance has gone viral and is the subject of heavy scrutiny, criticism. The Biden-appointed Justice says it was a childhood dream of hers to appear in such a play. And, of course, “& Juliet” is full of LGBT themes, including the highlighting of gender non-confirming and non-binary characters. The overall theme of the play ties in with Brown-Jackson’s politics, as she recently advocated for gender-affirming medication for minors during SCOTUS arguments.
