Hags: Two Supreme Court justices are reportedly bosses from hell on their clerks and staff, new book alleges

Why are Democrats so loaded with nasty, vicious women?

A new book by respected Washington columnist and editor Mollie Hemingway came out with some doozies of information about the sheer unbearableness of Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, who are apparently nightmares to work for for all who come into their orbit.

According to the Daily Mail:

In her forthcoming book, Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution, conservative journalist and author Mollie Hemingway lifts the lid on the justices' treatment of clerks. ...

Hemingway, who spoke with over 100 former clerks and staff for the book, sensationally claims that liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor are the worst justices to clerk for.

Hemingway alleges that several of Kagan's former clerks, 'along with others at the Court, have described her as "emotionally abusive," "demanding, demoralizing, demeaning," and "a hard a**."'

'Kagan's clerks had fear in their eyes,' Hemingway said someone who clerked for a different justice recounted to her.

Other former aides speculated that there is 'something psychological going on there,' Hemingway writes.

Other clerks compared Kagan to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, moving from 'extremely kind to extremely angry,' Hemingway claims.

Another former staffer said Kagan is 'like Klobuchar' - a reference to Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who was the subject of a New York Times article about her alleged poor treatment of her staff.

Meanwhile, Sotomayor is said to have treated members of the Court's 'permanent staff' like 'valet[s].'

There are known 'stories of [Sotomayor] barking at them to help her carry her bags,' per Hemingway's book.

Hemingway describes Kagan and Sotomayor's behavior as distinct from their colleagues', and notes that most former clerks and permanent staff members have great opinions of their former bosses.

Those two would have been my guesses.

Kagan, Sotomayor, Katie Porter peas in a pod. “Get out of my f***ing shot!”

My observance of the type -— overweight, hulking, overbearing females who abuse power holds true. They love throwing their weight around, literally and figuratively. They’re bullies.

these dolts on the SC are just your typical self-centered narcissistic leftist baby killers. You can tell a lot about someone in how they treat wait staff.

Democrat women are deeply insecure, that’s why they are Democrats to begin with.

There have always been nasty, vicious women. Leftism just gave them a clubhouse.

They are like that because they are angry, hate America, hate the Constitution, hate men, hate themselves, and they are ugly. That is why they vote the way they do.

How old is that picture? That basketball court has no three-point line!

Oh, a 14-foot ceiling is incompatible with three-point shooting. Got it.

Women are generally don’t do well with power. Most view the slightest kindness, compassion or manners on their part towards others in the workplace as being subservient.
They are far too busy showing that they are in charge.

Yes, Kagan and Scalia were close. He taught her how to shoot at his gun club and they hunted together. She is very smart and he was too. They recognized that in each other.

Kagan must be embarrassed by the performance of her female colleagues.

Did you mean to say Ginsberg instead of Kagan? I had understood that Justices Scalia & Ginsberg socialized quite a lot.

Kagan is responsible for the Dobbs case leak to the media.
