Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor reportedly accepted nearly $2 million from Penguin Random House in a book deal, and then went on to sit in judgment of a copyright case involving that same company the following year.
According to a report in the Daily Wire, she received $1.9 million from the publishing house in 2012. In 2013, she helped decide whether the court should take up a legal dispute between the company and a classmate of Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, who said his book proposal was stolen and used to make the movie “The Social Network.”
The conservative outlet reported that this was not the only time Justice Sotomayor participated in the justices’ conference about which appeals to grant. It also noted a case involving a woman who claimed the publishing house copied her children’s book.
The justices did not take up either case.
It is not known how Justice Sotomayor voted on whether to take up either case, though she did not publicly recuse herself. When the court declines to hear an appeal, it usually doesn’t publicly say which, if any, among the justices might have wanted to do so.
The Daily Wire estimated that Justice Sotomayor has received more than $3.5 million from Penguin Random House or its subsidiaries over the years.
Justice Sotomayor, appointed to the court in 2009 by former President Obama, has written a number of children’s books.
The revelations about her payments from the publishing house while not recusing herself from cases involving the company come as a series of articles have surfaced in recent weeks against conservative justices, questioning their ethics and conduct while on the bench.
ProPublica reported this week that GOP mega donor Harlan Crow paid private school tuition at two private schools for Justice Clarence Thomas’ great nephew, whom the jurist...

Isn’t Sotomeyer the racist who said her biggest qualification for SCOTUS was her skin color?
But let’s go after Clarence Thomas. Biden wants to finish the job.
You can tell a book by its cover-up.
Sotomayor is the first full-blown dipshit to sit on the “Supreme” Court
Someone should, at the least, have the b@ll$ to simply ask her. I dunno...a reporter or "journalist" perhaps.
Yeah. Sure. I won't hold my breath.
Democrats do not recuse themselves.
Nor resign from office unless threat of arrest is imminent.
So why the hell are the racist turd rollers only going after Justice Thomas? HYPOCRITES!!!
She can’t think.
Her opinions should be read aloud in front of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 characters so they can through banana peels and tomatoes.
I’d visit their sponsers.
“has written a number of children’s books”

Learned from digesting her rulings.
I guess she is a wise Latina after all!
Then again, a truly wise Latina would have covered her tracks better!
Innocent due to her obvious attributes:
Fat... Foreign... Moron... Ugly...
Not her color-she’s as Caucasian as I am-her ethnic group-called herself “wise Latina”-I’m a wiser Latina than she is and I’m not even a lawyer-I know better than to make shady money...
Either way — she’s a racist.
She’s fat and stupid-and not above the unethical apparently-but I’m pretty sure she isn’t a foreigner since she was born in NY...
That is a fact-makes all of us look bad every time she speaks.
She’s a leftist. Leftists never recuse themselves, they demand others recuse themselves.
Anyway it’s way past time the left was given a taste of their own MO. She needs to step down.
