MAGA senator demands probe of Supreme Court justice for clapping at Grammy's

A far-right U.S. senator is demanding that Chief Justice John Roberts open a Supreme Court investigation into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's attendance of the Grammy Awards, Newsweek reported.

"Senior U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said Jackson should be looked into, as the awards ceremony was rife with remarks opposing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), while some critics have accused Jackson of clapping during those moments," said the report. "While there is no proof that Jackson clapped at any of the anti-ICE comments while in attendance at the Grammys, Blackburn wrote a letter urging Roberts to look into the matter."

Among the rebukes to ICE were comments from singer Billie Eilish, who proclaimed, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”

It is also unclear whether Jackson clapping to anti-ICE remarks would even constitute an ethical violation, but Blackburn, who sits on the Judiciary Committee, wants this investigated under the Supreme Court Code of Conduct requirement for justices to “act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.”

This comes as the Supreme Court is set to hear a landmark case that decides whether President Donald Trump has the power to rewrite the 14th Amendment to exclude citizenship from people born on American soil to noncitizens.

This comes as Blackburn is mounting a bid for governor of Tennessee, which is already facing controversy as a Republican activist has filed a complaint accusing her of violating campaign finance law.
