Especially after immediately starting to vote with the liberals. Book deals are how Democrats pay off.

Can’t be sure, but large book advances (on books that seldom sell well) does seem to be one of the ways that public figures are bribed.

Maybe her book will cover why SC Justices should duck Constitutional Questions/Issues as much as possible.

How about they should bring the law, the Constitution and a scrupulous.concern for the facts into the court. How about they shouldn’t duck hard cases like Texas where the shall have original jurisdiction clause could not be more clearly written in the plain English that our founders have mastered.

And, if it’s not a bribe, you should not have taken it, Ruth-Amy until you had established your cred on the SC by getting some hard cases under your belt, like, say, Texas.

William Barr, Trump’s former attorney general who resigned two days before Christmas after disagreeing publicly with Trump’s voter fraud conspiracy theories, recently sold a book about his time at the Justice Department, according to three people familiar with the deal.

This will be Barr’s first book and he started writing it within the last two months, according to one of the people.

I enjoyed reading your book. You didn’t beat around the bush, got right to the point, clearly stated your thesis, and strongly supported it. Your research citations were few, however.

Unfortunately, I found a pirated copy of your book online for free so I’m cheating you out of your income.

Of course she did.

And she was already a careful plant.

Wonder if she and frat-boy understand the contempt with which we hold them after we went all out in supporting them against the tirade of the left. Had we just said, meh! the RINOs would have folder faster than the $3000 lobbyist furnished suits that they wear.

“She just got bought by the derp state.”
************************************
Really? Was Clarence Thomas “bought off” by HIS book deal.

Prematurely jump to conclusions much?
