In recent weeks, Democrats have ramped up criticism of conservative Supreme Court justices like Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, alleging corruption and using that as a pretext for congressional oversight of the court.
However, these accusations are baseless and lack legal or ethical standing. Justice Thomas was accused of not reporting free travel expenses received from a friend that he was not even required to report and a minor technical error in income reporting. Justice Gorsuch was accused of selling land to an executive of a law firm that had business before the Supreme Court, but he actually sold the property just after being confirmed, and the buyer had no business before the court at the time.
While these incidents were much ado about nothing, the same Democrats who were calling for DOJ investigations and impeachments will no doubt sing a different tune over the revelation that liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor took $3.6 million from Penguin Random House publishing when the company did have business before the court, and declined to recuse herself.
In addition to the $3.6 million advance (which Penguin Random House lost money on), the Daily Wire found that Sotomayor received payments from the company annually from 2017 to 2021, totaling over $500,000. In 2013, she voted in a decision regarding a case involving Random House despite then-fellow Justice Stephen Breyer recusing himself after receiving money from the publisher. In 2020, Sotomayor received a $10,586 check from Penguin Random House on the same day a lawsuit against the publisher appeared before the Supreme Court. The Court voted not to hear the case in February 2020, and Sotomayor received her largest-ever payment from the publisher in May of that year.

Missing information from the article: how did the Justice vote on the question.
Well, she certainly is the ‘’wise Latina’’ isn’t she?
She knows how to game the system.
Latina puta.
Rules don’t apply to dems
And then the 4 Proud Boys seditious conspiracy thing right before 4 members of the Biden family get outed as foreign agents.
What else did you expect? She was appointed by the Obozo, so yeah, she’s obviously a criminal too.
Man, the white supremacist Dung Beetle Party turd rollers sure have it in for Justice Thomas. Friggin’ racists Nazis are the worst kind.
The msm will ignore it and it will fall by the wayside, buried under mou tains of anti Trump articles
Leave her alone. She’s in bad health and might be finished during the next administration hopefully Trump, if she’s replaced now Biden could replace her with a much younger lib/commie.
Has the Wise Latina been unwise?
Say it ain’t so!
Lovely.
Also, pretty sure she was on the board of La Raza when she was nominated for SC.
Ridiculous...Are you telling me going on a trip with a long time friend has to be reported as some type of “income”.
I searched all cases before the USSC in 2013 and found no reference to Random House or Penguin Random House. It may have been under a different party's name. So...as yet unknown if or how she voted.
Wait just a damned minute, IM GenX.
I still remember the media not telling us about Ruth Bader Ginzburg’s involvement with the ACLU.
Penguin/Puffin has been heavy in the sensoring of books lately including Dahl’s books.
Sotomayor vote on transitioning title 9?
