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.

Kinda like receiving lavish “gifts” and favors, isn’t it?
But, crickets.

Seriously, these couldn’t be books she wrote. She can barely piece together a cogent court opinion.
I smell an army of ghost writers.

She’ll get away with it. Time to move on-heard it somewhere. Now if she doesn’t know what a woman is that’s different-show stopper.

That sounds dangerously close to committing actual journalism. Confess your sins and promise you will never do it again against your fellow Democrats!

The law school ultimately ordered 410 signed copies of “My Beloved World,” after Le broached the idea of ordering copies. Books, c'mon Sonia. You really need to talk to Hunter Biden about where he buys his paint brushes.

Actually it’s way way worse. She is using gov’t employees to be her sales force.
And it’s a gift from universities.

It’s the new thing.
Take a $250,000 cash bribe? That’s bad!
Take $250,000 for a one-hour, canned speech? No problemo.
Take $250,000 for a trash painting? No problemo.
Take $250,000 for writing a book no one wants to read? Again, no problemo.
Ain’t America great?

If she has to step down, then Biden would get to nominate her replacement. So, which option is best?
