Wise Latina Justice Sonia Sotomayor Demanded That Schools and Libraries Buy Up Her Worthless Books -- Which Puts Royalty Payments In Her Pocket -- In Exchange for a Visit
This is pay-for-play, of course.
And she uses her taxpayer-paid court staff to run her side-gig as a book huckster.
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.
Her scam is requiring people to buy her book to stand in line to meet her -- and then she demands the school buy up her book to have them on hand to sell to people who want to meet her.
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. ... "This is one of the most basic tenets of ethics laws that protects taxpayer dollars from misuse," said Kedric Payne, a former deputy chief counsel at the Office of Congressional Ethics and current general counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan government watchdog group in Washington. "The problem at the Supreme Court is there's no one there to say whether this is wrong." Supreme Court staffers have been deeply involved in organizing speaking engagements intended to sell books. That is conduct prohibited for members of Congress and the executive branch, who are barred under ethics rules from using government resources, including staff, for personal financial gain. Lower federal court judges are also instructed to not "lend the prestige of the judicial office to advance" their "private interests."
"For an event with 1,000 people and they have to have a copy of Just Ask to get into the line, 250 books is definitely not enough," the aide, Anh Le, wrote staffers at the Multnomah County Library. "Families purchase multiples and people will be upset if they are unable to get in line because the book required is sold out." It was not an isolated push. As Sotomayor prepared for commencement weekend at the University of California, Davis law school, her staff pitched officials there on buying copies of signed books in connection with the event. Before a visit to the University of Wisconsin, the staff suggested a book signing. ... Sotomayor, whose annual salary this year is $285,400, is not alone in earning money by writing books. Such income is exempt from the court's $30,000 restriction on outside yearly pay. But none of the justices has as forcefully leveraged publicly sponsored travel to boost book sales as has Sotomayor, according to emails and other records reviewed by the AP.
The "mainstream" media -- LOL -- reacted to this AP bombshell by... not mentioning it all.
The Associated Press committed a random act of journalism Tuesday when they ran a story exposing how left wing radical Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's staff pushed public institutions where she went to visit to purchase her memoirs or other books. Given the heavy interest given by the "big three" news networks on so-called conflicts of interest surrounding constitutionalist justices like Samuel Alito or Clarence Thomas, the fact that the networks refused to report on this during their evening newscasts shows they are hypocrites. Instead, the evening newscasts ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News covered a disruptive passenger forcing a commercial plane to land (ABC), Video of a volcano erupting in Iceland (CBS), and Leslie Van Houten's release from prison (NBC).
.@BretBaier: "The AP reports Justice Sonia Sotomayor's staff prodded public institutions where she was set to visit to buy her memoir or her children's book...Sotomayor made at least $3.7 million from her books since joining the court in 2009." All three networks ignored this! pic.twitter.com/0UMMBGAt62

Political campaigns do this all the time. It's one of those standard moneymakers to launder donor money.
It doesn't really surprise me to see a judge doing it, especially one who has serious portion control problems.

Her scam is requiring people to buy her book to stand in line to meet her -- and then she demands the school buy up her book to have them on hand to sell to people who want to meet her.
It'd ALMOST be worth it to buy the book, stand in line, and then hand her a used Taco Bell paper bag to get her autograph. Then toss the book in the garbage bin on the way out the door with your autographed fast food wrapper.

Like just drops dead for no reason, kids, it happens. You just never know.

Agree; if she did it, that's wrong, but a 2 versus a 10 on a 10 point Thomas-level wrong scale.
She deserves it all. As long as no laws were broken, her book and her talks are nothing but an asset to our country.
She's not taking bribes from billionaires or lobbyists trying to influence her. No harm no foul. Therein lies the difference between her case & the crooked GOP appointed justices.
If she walked on water, they'd just say she couldn't swim.
Good. Schools, colleges and libraries should have copious her book. The words of a liberal justice should be available widely. Conservative justices books make it to those places after a conservative donor or PAC buys them then ‘donates’ the books to all and sundry.

It is older than that, Fen.
A "Back house" or "outhouse" as I was genteely raised to call it, generally were put together cheaply and fairly lightly in construction because no one spent quality time there, and they were meant to be moved from hole to hole as they filled up.
A brick one could be considered not only very well built, but possibly overbuilt. And a woman who is built or even overbuilt is something to see.
To think on it, I originally read that quote for the first time as "stacked like a brick brick outhouse" hence, "she is really stacked" though that may have been malapropism for malapropism's sake.
And this was your daily moment of philological over-obsession.

I spent 3 months working for a consulting company that was tied to the VA. It was owned by a retired Army colonel, who used his color and status to vacuum up contracts. The consultants and the full time employees at the VA did absolutely nothing. I worked about 8 hours in 90 days. Maybe less.

They all watch the retirement clock and that’s all that matters. A friend of mine worked as an employee in IT at the IRS and he said weeks where he worked 10 hours were exhausting. Lol but even so he couldn’t take it and left after a couple of years. He said he couldn’t imagine spending 30 years doing that, mind numbing even if the pay/benefits were good.

There are some pretty great, sexy descriptions of women in classical literature that are leagues better than "brick shithouse."
"Her slender waist seemed as delicate as a swan's neck, accentuating the graceful curves of her figure."

"Her shoulders were smooth and delicate, like the petals of a blooming flower, giving her an air of elegance and poise." - Gustave Flaubert

Sappho was probably not into women and we have nothing confirming she was outside of one poem were the narrative is about wooing a woman.
And based on that we've decided that not only is she a lesbo but the whole island of Lesbos is full of lesbos even the men. Which I guess is true in a sense.

If you go to lefty forums they float all sort of insane things.
Then every so often their leaders decide to grab an idea and now claim it is normal and middle of the road and everyone must believe it.
So that's how, for example, within 5 years gay marriage went from something even gay activists didn't want to something every single leftwinger believed in.

Sure. From ancient Greece to the Renaissance and forward, the pursuit of wisdom and enlightenment have been argued for as the highest aspirations of the human mind. Socrates and Aristotle emphasized the inherent value of knowledge and wisdom. The pursuit of truth leads to personal growth and a better society.
Hell in contrast is a place of darkness, no growth, no wisdom, no moral development. It is the antithesis of betterment.
Hell is dumb.

Manchin is NOT a conservative. He is a rich guy, playing a game for payoffs and rolling the pork barrel in elected office for his home state. And West Virginians typically vote Democrat because of old labor gripes from coal miners....but that is going to start to change....maybe. You know, the Democrats are the party for the little guy.
He walks a line with the Democrats, just to keep his job. It's fun to watch, at times, but he is not some kind of closet conservative.

That story going around about Boeing going *hard* on affirmative action in their engineering department means they're not gonna be able to build any more either, if it's real. On the one hand it sounds like what we think government contractors do, but on the other "Jamal" and "Shaneequa" being the unqualified hires is too perfect to be true.

But there’s no good evidence that domestic terrorism is increasing. Neither the FBI nor the Department of Homeland Security have submitted “comprehensive data to Congress in required reports” regarding violent extremism, found the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Last year there were only 21 homicides linked to white supremacists in the entire country. By comparison, Chicago alone saw an average of 58 homicides every month. From 2013 to 2021, the FBI’s domestic terrorism-related investigations increased by 357 percent, but there was no similar increase in terrorist attacks during that period.

BS. All you have to do is redefine "domestic terrorism" in the same way that they redefined "vaccine".
Domestic terrorism saw a serious uptick when parents stood before the various school boards demanding to know why the teachers are pimping out their children.

At a local tavern in WI I met a Union Lifer Maintenance guy from Rock County who went to Kazakhstan and brought back a Russian bride. She was into her 40s and a trained Nurse Practioner ('Doctor' there). Perfect English, very well put together. She admitted to me she was stupified by the ignorance of Wisconsinites. People who have never traveled anywhere, never gone anywhere except in a private car. Never been on any kind of bus or on an airplane. Never ridden in a taxi. She liked her life in America but was shocked by the provincialism and ignorance.
