Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is calling on Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson over her appearance at the Grammy Awards, an event that turned into yet another stage for anti-ICE activism dressed up as “art.”
Jackson attended the ceremony because she was nominated for narrating the audiobook version of her memoir, Lovely One. But critics noted that she applauded while celebrities and artists used the spotlight to attack U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), transforming a music awards show into a political rally—because apparently trophies aren’t enough anymore.
“While it is by no means unheard of or unusual for a Supreme Court justice to attend a public function, very rarely—if ever—have justices of our nation’s highest Court been present at an event at which attendees have amplified such far-left rhetoric,” Blackburn wrote in a letter to Roberts.
Blackburn, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, urged Roberts to examine whether Jackson’s conduct violates the Supreme Court’s Code of Conduct and whether it could require her to recuse herself from future cases.
“In the interest of a fair-minded, impartial, and independent federal judiciary, I urge you to initiate an investigation into Justice Jackson’s attendance at this event and if her participation in any way would require recusal from matters that will come before the Court,” Blackburn wrote.
At the Grammys, some attendees wore “ICE Out” lapel pins, while certain winners used their speeches to shout slogans like “No one is illegal on stolen land” and “F— ICE.” Subtle as ever.
Jackson’s appearance raises concerns because the Supreme Court is expected to hear cases involving the Trump administration, including matters tied to birthright citizenship and immigration—issues where neutrality is kind of important.
Fox News Digital reached out to Blackburn’s office and the Supreme Court for comment.
In her letter, Blackburn also pointed out how Democrats and the media have repeatedly labeled Republican-appointed justices as “corrupt” and “partisan.” She referenced a past incident in which Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., urged Roberts to pressure Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from cases linked to the 2020 election and Jan. 6, 2021, because his wife displayed a Revolutionary War-era flag at their home.
Blackburn’s call for accountability underscores a simple principle: the highest court in the land must remain above politics, no matter how fashionable activism becomes on an awards-show stage—and that commitment to fairness is exactly what keeps the judiciary strong and the country moving forward.
