With a media campaign going on against conservative Supreme Court justices in the wake of Roe v. Wade, the Associated Press decided to do a little digging on the others -- and came up with a doozy on Justice Sonia Sotomayor, starting with a softball lede:
WASHINGTON (AP) — For colleges and libraries seeking a boldfaced name for a guest lecturer, few come bigger than Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court justice who rose from poverty in the Bronx to the nation’s highest court.
She has benefited, too — from schools’ purchases of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of the books she has written over the years.
Sotomayor’s staff has often prodded public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children’s books, works that have earned her at least $3.7 million since she joined the court in 2009. Details of those events, largely out of public view, were obtained by The Associated Press through more than 100 open records requests to public institutions. The resulting tens of thousands of pages of documents offer a rare look at Sotomayor and her fellow justices beyond their official duties.
In her case, the documents reveal repeated examples of taxpayer-funded court staff performing tasks for the justice’s book ventures, which workers in other branches of government are barred from doing.

$20 is $20.........
Yet it is Justice Thomas’ “ethics” that raise the ire of Liberals everywhere...
In an unrelated story: “Sotomayor votes with GOP judges on Affirmative action”
DON’T *EVER* vote the wrong way, is the message here...
They would love for BiDuuuhhhN to appoint one
Democrats don't care about the ethics. They are trying to manufacture a vacancy in the Supreme Court that Biden can fill to tilt the balance to the left.

Old way to solicit a bribe: Send me money!
New way to solicit a bribe: Buy my book!
And that’s why Joe Biden is in such trouble. He’s stuck in the old way.
However, Hunter Biden gets it: Buy my paintings!
Is it a cook book?
Be a shame if there was a ruling against your university if you didn't buy my book.
Fits right in to The Biden Family Syndicate.
Delicious! Surprising that the Associated Press did the heavy lifting for this gem.
But her $#*+ doesn’t stink because she’s a Democrat!
Yes, indeed. The hypocrisy of the lefties never fails to astonish me.
Is this the acorn the pig was Forced to Find ?
Looks like AP tripped over Sotomayor’s mountain of university book deals while digging for dirt on Justices Thomas and Alito. :::Snicker:::
Was the information on the wise latino known years ago ?
How many of these colleges and universities, who brought her books and paid her to speak, filed an amicus brief in support of institutionalized racism a/k/a affirmative action? Perhaps she should have recused herself due to the conflict of interest.
Inside the AP’s investigation into the ethics practices of the Supreme Court justices
Would seem ap knew the information for years earlier and sat on.
Does she paint pictures in her spare time, Like Hunter? Maybe she could ‘muscle’ museums into buying her ‘art’ too.
BUT BUT BUT Scalia went fishing with someone.
Point it out but don’t expect a result.
