This is excellent news! I just read \u2014 or maybe I heard it in the background noise of the TV set \u2014 that someone has referred to Ketanji Brown Jackson, the next justice to be seated on the Supreme Court, as \u201cKBJ.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why is that cool? It\u2019s because the media along with the public usually reserve those identifications by name initials to those who are held in generally high esteem.<\/p>\n

You know: JFK, LBJ, RFK, MLK Jr., FDR. I have taken to referring to other more contemporary individuals as well by their initials: Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, aka AOC is one and, yes, I have referred to the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene as MTG and Donald Trump as DJT.<\/p>\n

It is a strange phenomenon that not all public figures get that designation as a matter of regular practice. BHO is one of those who\u2019s been left out of the initial-ID name club. George W. Bush is known as just plain W., or Dubya.<\/p>\n

So \u2026 welcome to the newly formed Club of Iconic Figures, Judge Jack \u2026 er, KBJ.<\/p>\n
