One reason for the sharp increase in Sotomayor’s investments and overall wealth is the money she’s made from writing books.
But, but, but Thomas has rich friends…
Her ethics are all bad. But they knew she was a crook when they put her on the Supreme Court. So what are they crying about? A crook doing what a crook does.
This is my shocked face.
Sotomayor must be using the same investment counselor as Liz Cheney.
Racism is a good plan to make money
If I were to pick a source for last years’ Infamous Leak, my money would be on Sotomayor.
Gingrich was raked through the coals for writing and making money off a book during his stint as Speaker. The argument then was that it was wrong to profit from your position in government while you were still on government. Like everything else, rules are invented for Republicans which are then magically forgotten for the Dems.
Why should she be different from any other hack, race-based Democrat?
I pointed this out at a yahoo article on her. A reply from someone or thing just insulted me while ignoring the facts like all yahoo bots do.
This “news” is old, and SCOTUS issued a statement a week ago asserting that this is normal.
SCOTUS’ Code of Ethics encourages judges to “stay connected to community activities and to engage with the public, including by writing on both legal and nonlegal subjects.”
They, “routinely travel and speak to university, college and law school audiences and affiliated individuals and entities,” and staffers “assist the Justices in complying with judicial ethics guidance for such visits, including guidance relating to judges’ publications.”
