The View welcomed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Hot Topics table this morning, where she opened up about balancing her successful career with being a mom of two — a task Joy Behar was doubtful Jackson’s male counterparts had ever encountered.
While promoting her new book Lovely One, Brown told the ladies about having an “acute identity crisis” as she navigated motherhood and her career ambitions.
“It was very hard because I had gone to law school, I was in these law firms, I was really trying to have my professional brand be very ‘hard worker,’” she said. “And then these beautiful babies come along and I have to balance. I have to figure out how to do the work, spend the time on the work that I was devoting myself to, and maybe sleep a little.”
With her husband training to be a surgeon at the time, Jackson admitted “there was a point in which I didn’t know who I was anymore.”
Sara Haines then attempted to ask Jackson about the “very innocent, sweet self-care routine” she had when her daughters were young — but Behar abruptly chimed in to ask, “Do you think the other Justices who are men had this problem? I don’t think so,” prompting groans and moans from the audience.

Before Jackson could answer the question, Haines fired back, “Joy, you’re ruining my story! She has a cute story that I love.”
The lawyer went on to tell her story, revealing why she was sometimes a few minutes late to relieve her nanny when she was seven months pregnant with her second daughter.

“I would go to the store,” she said. “I’d drive to the store and I’d go to the part of the parking lot where there were no other cars and I would lean my chair back and I would take a nap.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
