Obama-nominated SCOTUS justice has seen net worth spike during tenure on high court..
Sonia Sotomayor's net worth has increased significantly since joining the nation's highest court, according to financial disclosure forms amid new revelations about the Supreme Court justice's efforts to promote her books.
Sotomayor's net worth has skyrocketed, putting her among the ranks of the nation's millionaires. In 2021, her investments totaled somewhere between $1.5 million and $6.4 million,
....
One reason for the sharp increase in Sotomayor's investments and overall wealth is the money she's made from writing books. .. her staff has often "prodded" public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children's books — works that have made her at least $3.7 million since joining the Supreme Court and continue to rake in six-figure royalty payments annually.
According to the AP, Sotomayor's publisher, Penguin Random House, has played a role in organizing her talks, even pressing public institutions to commit to buying a certain number of copies or requesting attendees purchase books to obtain tickets.
Sotomayor didn't recuse herself from multiple cases before the Supreme Court involving Random House, despite earning significant money from her book deal with the publisher.

having her staff sell her books, including .. pressure on schools and libraries to buy a minimum number of her books
...
she made a mistake by failing to recuse from several cases involving her book publisher.

publishers responsible for book advances and contracts may have matters before the high court potentially requiring certain justices to recuse themselves.

You can’t touch her, she has PROTECTION. That Race Card comes in handy.
I haven’t seen a Sotomayor book show up at a garage sale yet. Clinton’s and others, yes.
Communists don’t see the irony in doing this sort of thing.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always The Revolution.
Democrats.
Today's Left are not Communists. They're anti-white racists.
Today's Left has no objection to wealth disparities, provided the right people are rich, the right people are poor.
Hey, just part of the new US motto: “Get a job with the US Government ... and get rich” ... like Congre$$
Shouldn’t CNN and MSNBC be calling for impeachment and possible Criminal Prosecution???
They are the "useful idiots" that the Communists are using for their ends. Once they revolution is complete, they will be first against the wall.

And you always see the bastards, like Biden, saying how they’ve sacrificed in the Public Sector!
Yeah, that’s why when they’re 90 - ala Feinstein and Pelosi - they won’t quit. They won’t quit and they hold on to those jobs in Dementia - because the Fortunes are too grand, the Cash is too free.
Its just free money to these bastards. They ‘Police’ themselves and they corrupt newcomers faster than Christie on a box of eclairs.

Meanwhile, the politicians and lower tier Feral “judges” are just as “unethical” as any of the SCOTUS justices. It’s just that they are above the law. Attacking the Supreme Court is just as bad as any JaySix “insurrection”. The FBI needs to start going after those attacking the Supreme Court and put them in prison also.

Good thought but takes too long.
Not if you’re driving during an episode.
Though I assume she never drives.
If Sotomayor failed to recuse herself from a case in which she was in any way involved with one of the litigants, she must be impeached.
COME ON!!!! It’s not Every Day you get a Wise Latina!!
“ her staff has often “prodded” public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children’s books”
Forced bulk purchases. That’s how liberal authors make their money.
