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.

Because they've been fed lies all their lives. Let them enjoy the suck.

Liberals treat everyone horribly. Look at VA and taking 40% of the voters’ voices away. Talk about disenfrachising.

I've always noted the interesting fact that the Supreme Court of the United States is NOT the nation's highest court. There is indeed a higher court...

I admire Mollie Hemmingway, for her diligence and perspective. Toss in John Solomon, Katharine Herridge, and Lara Logan and it gives me hope for journalism as a profession. I wish they’d incorporate.

Liberals who find their way to infest government see themselves as ruling royalty.

This has been true for decades across all domains in politics. Sure, here and there we can find seriously bad conduct from Republicans because if the barrel is big enough we can find bad apples in any barrel, but the ratio is stacked heavily the other way. The White House staff and Secret Service stories are legendary.

Liberalism is a mental illness and progressivism is a pyramid of lies.

Aren’t they both lesbians?

And isn’t this a common trait among lesbos?

Agreed. Yet in my observations, leftist women seem to act more from a standpoint of fragile superiority. They believe the Gobbels-like mantra that women have it bad, so they have to be extra tough to barely keep from losing what they have.

they are mean to them because they know all of them are significantly smarter than them and it angers them. Because deep down they know they are DEI picks that shouldn’t be there
