Saturday Night Live knows just how much everyone loves Ketanji Brown Jackson, and given her recent confirmation to the Supreme Court as America’s first Black female justice, the cast decided to honor the Justice-designate by giving her a starring role in this past weekend’s cold open. Joined by dearly departed Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall, Jackson — who “worked twice was hard as a white man [her] entire life and then spent a week listening to Ted Cruz call [her] a pedophile” — receives some sage advice about what it’s like to be a Supreme Court justice. We even get a much-deserved “Ginsburn” for Cruz.
And so, if, as Ginsburg suggests, you’re looking forward to wearing a button of Jackson’s face like an “I Voted” sticker, you may want to check this out.
