## Key points

- Jackson’s impartiality comments prompted online mockery.
- Critics focused on her appearance on Michelle Obama’s podcast.
- The report raises perception concerns, not wrongdoing.

## Summary

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson faced online criticism after saying she is “very, very mindful and scrupulous” about impartiality while appearing on former first lady Michelle Obama’s podcast, “IMO”. Critics argued that discussing such issues in that setting created an apparent contradiction, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of Supreme Court justices’ public appearances and perceived political associations.

The Fox News report describes the reaction as mockery centred on the “irony” of Jackson’s statement rather than alleging wrongdoing. It also notes that Jackson agreed with Obama’s criticism that elite schools can isolate students of colour, adding further context to the discussion that drew attention online.
