Contrary to last week’s Fox & Friends satire, this sketch was perhaps less about humor and more about marking her place in history, with Jackson in the Oval Office awaiting the celebration of her historic confirmation at the White House. and meet the ghosts of those who broke the glass roof and the colored barrier. When Ruth Bader Ginsburg (played by Kate McKinnon) appeared, Jackson asked her, “I would love to know what advice you have for me as a woman in the Supreme Court.” “Okay, here is my advice. Always mark your lunches. So the judges got their fingers glued. “Second, if you’re something like me, white ladies will start wearing buttons on your face.” Ginsburg continues, “Anyway, I just want to say. I’m so proud of you. You will do a great job. ” “Thank you, that means a lot,” Jackson said. “Look, I know your confirmation process put you on the ring, but in the end people do the right thing. “And you know, I was confirmed in the Senate 96 to 3, so what was your vote?” “53 to 47,” Jackson said. “Yes, many of them left and a man kept asking me if the babies were racist.” “Ted Cruz?” Ginsburg asked. “You know it was. You had to see this man. He actually sat there on the TV and read me a children’s book. “ “Well, it was Ted Cruz, so I bet the book was called ‘Goodnight Cancun,’ and that’s burning Jean.” This was a reference to Cruz’s trip to Cancun, as the state of Texas faced a power outage and weather disasters. Cruz was among the Republican senators who, during her confirmation hearings, attacked the sentencing record of those convicted of child pornography. In fact, Jackson’s punishments were in line with those of other judges, both liberal and conservative, but the Democratic Party’s strategy was to try to downplay it as soft on the children of predators. A White House official called it a “QAnon marker.” The sketch opened with Jackson talking to Joe Biden (James Austin Johnson), who told her: “I promised to put a black woman on the pitch and I did. Therefore, this is a pre-election promise and there are only 74 left “. Jackson replied: “I was happy to do my part. “People were twice as hard as a white man all my life and then I spent a whole week listening to Ted Cruz call me a pedophile.” In the sketch, Jackson also interacted with Thergood Marshall (Kenan Thompson), the first Black Judge in the Supreme Court. Harriet Tumpman (Punky Johnson) and Jackie Robinson (Chris Redd), who are screaming for the seven-figure salaries of today’s baseball players. “So what advice do you have for me as a person of color in the Supreme Court?” Jackson asked Marshall. “Well, never give up. Democracy can be slow and messy. It stumbles, but over time it moves forward. I mean, I was the first judge of the Black Supreme Court, so who should you be, the 10th, the 20th? “ Jackson replied: “No. Just the third. “No more questions, your honor,” Marshall said.
