Corrupt Sotomayor Using Court Staff to Market Her Business

Corrupt Affirmative Action Justice Sonia Sotomayor has been caught using her taxpayer-funded servants to run the marketing for her side hustle, the Associated Press reports.

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.

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.

At Clemson University in South Carolina, school officials offered to buy 60 signed copies before a 2017 appearance; Sotomayor's staff noted that most schools order around 400. Michigan State University asked Sotomayor to come to campus and in 2018 spent more than $100,000 on copies of her memoir, "My Beloved World," to distribute to incoming first-year students. The books were shipped to the Supreme Court, where copies were taken to her chambers by court workers and signed by her before being sent to the school.

Sotomayor’s publisher, Penguin Random House, also has played a role in organizing her talks, in some cases pressing public institutions to commit to buying a specific number of copies or requesting that attendees purchase books to obtain tickets, emails show. The publisher has had several matters before the court in which Sotomayor did not recuse herself.

To put this in perspective, Soto earns $268,000/year from her government salary but is taking $264,000 having her taxpayer funded clerks run her side hustle strong-arming schools to buy the schleck kids books she has ghostwritten.

In other words, she's effectively doubling her take home pay on the government dime.

You do what you gotta do when you don’t have a Billionaire activist to pay for all your expenses.

Not sure going on a fishing trip to Alaska with a well-off friend compares to avoiding the prohibition on government employees charging for speaking engagements by laundering the speaking fees through book sales.

How many times a day do you masturbate to Meghan anyway?

Desperate to have a liberal judge to compare to the big-time grifting conservative Supreme Court Judges, the right-wing and Reuters compare asking libraries and universities to check if they have enough of a judge's books in appearances as just as wrong as being billionaires' pals who see nothing wrong with huge gifts which they don't even declare.

Just a tiny part of the big-time grifting of the conservative judges.:

This is totally comparable to using staff to persuade libraries and universities to either buy more books or have more books available to sell, is it?

Good point. It's not half as bad.

Corrupt Soto must be removed from the court and jailed then replaced with the rapiest, whitest, most alcoholic Sigma Chi bro alive.

They aren't going to name you to the Supreme Court Saxi. It's ok having dreams, but don't get lost in impossible ones.
