Sotomayor’s Staff Leaned on Colleges, Libraries to Buy Her Book Ahead of Speaking Gigs
Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s taxpayer-funded staff frequently pushed colleges and libraries to purchase her books ahead of speaking engagements, according to The Associated Press.
Supreme Court staff often assisted with arranging speaking engagements designed to promote Sotomayor’s books, which have earned the justice a minimum of $3.7 million since she took her seat on the bench in 2009, promoting them to hosts who purchase hundreds or thousands of copies ahead of appearances, according to the AP.

The Biden Crime Family Comes Undone
Say it ain’t so, Joe.

The Biden family is notorious for being the crookedest clan not only in Delaware, but in D.C.
THERE IS A COMMONALITY AMONG THESE PEOPLE:
1.) THEY'RE GAMER LAWYERS.
2.) THEY HAVE A LONG DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF LYING TO THE AMERICA PEOPLE
3.) THEY ARE FAVORED AND FUNDED BY THE BIGGEST CRIMINALS ON WALL STREET.
4.) THEY ARE ALL BANKSTER BRIBES SUCKERS. MOST HAVE MADE FORTUNES SUCKING BANKSTER FEES IN THE FORM OF 'SPEECH FEE' BRIBES.
5.) MOST ARE SERVANTS OF THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS, AND IN PARTICULAR, GEORGE SOROS.
6.) ALL ARE DEDICATED TO PROTECTING THE HIGH TECH BILLIONAIRE CLASS WHO WANT NO CAPS ON IMPORTING 'CHEAP' LABOR. NEARLY 80% OF SILICON VALLEY TECH WORKERS ARE FOREIGN BORN.
7.) ALL STAGE THEMSELVES AS 'POPULIST' BUT IN REALITY ARE CLOSET REPUBLICANS.
8.) ALL ARE DEDICATED TO N.A.F.T.A AS DEMANDED BY THEIR CORPORATE PAYMASTERS. N.A.F.T.A WAS WRITTEN BY GAMER LAWYER PRESIDENT BILLARY CLINTON AND THEN SEN. 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN. WE KNOW WHAT GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN HAS DONE TO WHAT WAS LEFT OF AMERICA.
9.) ALL HAVE BEE ACCUSED OF BEING SOCIOPATHS, AS ARE MOST LAWYERS.
10). BEING GAMER LAWYERS, THEY ARE A PROTECTED WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS WHO POCKET THE LOOT THEY STEAL AND LAUGH AT THE REST OF US FOR BEING SO FUKING STUPID AS TO HAVE LET THEM RUN THE COUNTRY.... INTO THE GROUND AS THEY FILLED THEIR POCKETS.
HOW MANY OF THESE PIGS ARE GAMER LAWYERS ON THE TAKE?
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) (WHAT ABOUT THE CHINA BIDEN PENN CENTER?) and the Obama (TWO GAMER LAWYERS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (FOUR GAMER LAWYERS - JOE, HUNTER, JAMES, FRANK) corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (GAMER LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (ADD GAMER LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS AND HER LAWYER HUSBAND AND THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY, LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER AND GEORGE SOROS’ RENT BOY GAMER LAWER TONY BLINKEN AS WELL AS CON MAN ADAM SHIFF).

For one thing, there’s a very sordid background to the story. The family has a long history of corruption and drug use unhampered by legal prosecution.
SHOCKING New Evidence of Joe Biden's Corruption
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMibzjsXWQU
Almost three years later, the media and other Democrats are still burying the story of massive Biden family corruption, no matter how much proof they are shown.
And they never ceased promoting the biggest lie of all, which is that the Obama administration was scandal-free because no one went to jail. That's called skating in the real world.
The ‘wise Latina’ is suddenly ‘la millonaria Latina'
Can Justice Sonia Sotomayor refer us to her investment counselor? The wise Latina's finances have done rather well since joining SCOTUS. This is the story:
Sonia Sotomayor's net worth has increased significantly since joining the nation's highest court, according to financial disclosure forms amid new revelations about the Supreme Court justice's efforts to promote her books.
Sotomayor was nominated by then-President Barack Obama to join the Supreme Court in 2009. At the time, her wealth was a small fraction of what it is now.
In 2007, the sum of Sotomayor's total investments was between $50,001 and $115,000, according to her financial disclosure form for that year. She reported only two assets: a checking account and a savings account, both at Citibank.
And there is more:
Since then, Sotomayor's net worth has skyrocketed, putting her among the ranks of the nation's millionaires. In 2021, her investments totaled somewhere between $1.5 million and $6.4 million, according to financial disclosure forms. Last year, investments were roughly the same, in between $1.6 million and $6.6 million.
It must be something in the water, because the man once known as a community organizer is suddenly a millionaire too.
As Sophie Tucker once said: “I’ve been rich, and I’ve been poor. Rich is better.” Justice Sotomayor has certainly adopted that attitude.
Power to Justice Sotomayor and to anyone who makes it big. Maybe we can let up on Justice Clarence Thomas and judge him and the others on their opinions.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s Endless Greed
“Is there a reminder going out that people need to purchase a book"
When you see famous people touring with a memoir or children’s book (when they’re famous for something other than writing children’s books) it’s because they’re trying to move copies. The places that host them are expected to buy a whole bunch of those books so the publisher can recoup the advance and make money.
Nothing too extraordinary about that, but it’s tacky when done by a Supreme Court justice.
Justice Sotomayor collected more than $1.9 million in advances and promotion for her memoir, My Beloved World, published by Knopf Doubleday.
And the money just kept coming in.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from multiple cases involving a book publisher – Penguin Random House – which paid her more than $3 million since 2010, according to a report.
After My Beloved World, Sotomayor began writing children’s books. Would people normally buy them in a bookstore? Maybe not.
So Sotomayor went on book tours.
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.
Normal enough, but vulgar behavior for a justice. And doing it with a library is especially fetid.
In 2019, as Sotomayor traveled the country to promote her new children’s book, “Just Ask!,” library and community college officials in Portland, Oregon, jumped at the chance to host an event.
They put in long hours and accommodated the shifting requests of Sotomayor’s court staff. Then, as the public cost of hosting the event soared almost tenfold, a Sotomayor aide emailed with a different, urgent concern: She said the organizers did not buy enough copies of the justice’s book, which attendees had to purchase or have on hand in order to meet Sotomayor after her talk.
“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.”
Uh-huh. It was all about the kids.
There’s nothing specifically corrupt here apart from Sotomayor’s failure to recuse herself from cases involving Bertelsmann, an ex-Nazi woke company using the name Penguin Random House in America. But there’s no clear evidence of any significant impact. So it’s slimy and leaves a bad taste, but not clearly corrupt.
Until Sotomayor decided to lie about it.
“Justice Sotomayor would have recused in cases in which Penguin Random House was a party, in light of her close and ongoing relationship with the publisher,” the Supreme Court said in a statement. “An inadvertent omission failed to bring Penguin’s participation in several cases to her attention; those cases ultimately were not selected for review by the Court. Chambers’ conflict check procedures have since been changed.”
A person close to Sotomayor, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the justice’s book dealings, said that Sotomayor “has not and will not profit from sales” of her memoir beyond the $3.1 million advance that she received and that doing so would “require purchases of hundreds of thousands of additional books — more than double the purchases to date.”
Sotomayor, however, continues to earn royalties — at least $400,000 since 2019 — from sales of her children’s literature, including “Just Ask!,” her second best-selling book, which was the promotional focus of the 2019 event held in Portland, emails and records show.
Major political figures get massive advances. No royalties are expected. Penguin clearly expected Sotomayor to promote the book and she more than kept up her end of the bargain.
Nothing illegal here, but the sheer vulgar greed on display really shows what she is.
As the talk neared, Le shifted her focus to books, which were offered for sale online to those who obtained tickets to the free event.
“Can you please show me the screen where people can purchase books?” Le wrote library staffers as they prepared to make the tickets available. “Are you just placing Just Ask … on the portal or all of the Justice’s books.”
When the free tickets were quickly snapped up, she asked library officials to publicize that those who could not get tickets could still meet the justice if they purchased a book.
A day later, she followed with another email, concerned that not enough of the people who got tickets had also purchased a book.
“Is there a reminder going out that people need to purchase a book at the event or bring a book to get into the signing line?” Le wrote. “Most of the registrants did not purchase books.”
Still, when she found out event organizers had only purchased 250 copies of Sotomayor’s book, she sent an email telling library officials that the quantity was “definitely not enough.”
This reminds me of the obnoxious emails Hillary’s people sent around when scheduling anything. There’s something about socialists not wanting to leave a dime on the table.

Sotomayor Uses Supreme Court Staff To Hawk Her Books
Staffers for Supreme Court justice Sonya Sotomayor have pushed colleges and libraries to purchase her books and earn profits for the justice, a practice critics have described as ethically questionable.
Sotomayor, who has earned at least $3.7 million from her memoir and children's book sales since joining the Court in 2009, has used her staff to push colleges and other institutions to buy loads of her books when she speaks at events, according to the Associated Press. Members of Congress and the executive branch are not allowed to personally benefit from their staffers' work because of government ethics rules, which the Supreme Court is not mandated to follow.
The Court said in a statement that staffers help to advise venues on book ordering for events.
"When [Sotomayor] is invited to participate in a book program, Chambers staff recommends the number of books [to order] based on the size of the audience so as not to disappoint attendees who may anticipate books being available at an event," the Court said in a statement.
Records requests show staffers pushing event organizers to purchase books.
"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," aide Anh Le told workers at the Multnomah County Library ahead of a 2019 Sotomayor visit. "Families purchase multiples and people will be upset if they are unable to get in line because the book required is sold out."
Kedric Payne, a former congressional ethics official, told the AP the aides' conduct violates "one of the most basic tenets of ethics laws that protects taxpayer dollars from misuse."
Sotomayor stands out among justices in using her office to promote her books, the AP reported:
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.
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.

Biden’s America: Confidence in Major U.S. Institutions Slumps to All-Time Low
Is America still blossoming as the land of the free and home of the brave under President Joe Biden? A majority of voters think not.
A plunge in faith in U.S. societal institutions that once defined the nation started last year and has continued, Gallup revealed Thursday, showing a near record number of voters look at their country today and despair at what they see.
In 2022, the national polling service recorded huge slumps in confidence in 11 of the 16 institutions ranked by Gallup annually, with the Biden presidency (23 percent) taking one of the the biggest hits.
UPI reports in Thursday’s poll, 26 percent of respondents said they had faith in the presidency, just behind 27 percent who said they had a great deal of faith in the Supreme Court.
The low support matches how voters also feel about the national economy under Biden as he readies to run for high office again in 2024.
Respondents said they had the most faith in small businesses (65 percent), the military (60 percent) and the police (43 percent). Faith in the police, though, was still stuck on a low matching that of 2022.
The public said they had the least faith in Congress (eight percent), followed by a tie between big business and television news at 14 percent each. The criminal justice system followed at 17 percent and newspapers at 18 percent.
All up, Gallup said the average confidence in major U.S. institutions fell to an all-time low of 26 percent on Biden’s watch.
The lack of overall confidence in the presidency and the nation is also matched by the current lack of faith in vice President Kamala Harris, as Breitbart News reported.
Harris entered the record books last month when an NBC News poll revealed she is the most unpopular vice president in history.
The poll showed 49 percent of registered voters have a negative view of the 58-year-old compared to 32 percent in the positive.
WORDS OF WISDOM: Kamala Harris Struggles for 45 Seconds to Define “Culture”
White HouseThat’s not all.
Overall Harris received a net negative rating of -17. That is the lowest net negative rating for a vice president in the history of the poll when up against the last four vice presidents during their tenures, with Mike Pence -4 in Oct. 2019, Joe Biden +1 in Dec. 2010, Dick Cheney +23 in May 2003, and Al Gore +15 in March 1995.
The dire numbers come as White House officials work with Harris to repair her image and allay fears expressed as far back as 2021 that she is a liability to Democratic hopes to retain power.
Read the Gallup poll figures in full here
The poll’s results are based on telephone interviews conducted June 1-22, with a random sample of 1,013 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia ,with a margin of sampling error is four percent at the 95 percent confidence level
Things the media and other Democrats care about and don't care about
The media and other Democrats have little interest in whether Joe Biden and his family lined their pockets with millions from China, a human rights abuser, and other countries.
They didn't have much interest in Hillary lining the pockets of her family and her foundation no matter where the money came from.
Where are the hearings on companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others that have billions in sales to China, Saudi Arabia, and other human rights abusing countries? How many billions richer is Bill Gates because Microsoft sells to these countries? Why isn't he called on the carpet to explain?
How many millions or billions have Yale, Harvard, and other universities taken in donations and tuition and fees from human rights abusing countries? Where is the outrage?
Have media outlets turned down advertising from Saudi Arabia and China? I don't think so, but the executives haven't been called before Congress to explain their actions.
But if golfers openly do a deal with Saudi Arabia where they are paid millions, there is massive outrage. Selective outrage is not outrage at all. It is fake to make the public think they care.
I believe that a president and secretary of state taking millions in kickbacks for their family, including from adversaries, is much more dangerous to America than golfers getting rich with Saudi Arabian money.
Here are some other things that are treated differently by Democrats, and it appears that the differences are based purely on political talking points instead of principles:
They seem to be very concerned about borders in Ukraine and some other countries but have little to no concern about ours.
They consistently say they want children to get a better education, more equality, and equity, but they work very hard to prevent the poor, especially minority children, from having the freedom of choice to go to good schools like those Democrat elites send their children to.
They call for boycotts on states that limit abortion. They falsely call any limits on abortions a “ban,” and they call states that limit abortions “anti-women.” Yet they don't call for boycotts against European countries that also limit abortions. Nor do they refer to them as banning abortion and they don't chew them out as being anti women. Since they are not consistent, it is just verbiage to mislead the public and to influence elections.
They also call for boycotts against states that sensibly want people to play sports based on their biological sex and want to protect the privacy of girls in their locker rooms. But they don't call for boycotts against all the other countries that will not force women and girls to compete against men.
They claim that they are for law and order and equal treatment under the law, but they support lawless sanctuary cities and states and they let many people in the Obama/Biden administration who broke laws skate without prosecution. I guess they are special.
They go after Justices Alito and Thomas for taking trips yet are quiet when Sotomayor uses her staff to shake down universities for millions for herself. Shouldn't she have recused herself on the student loan issue?
AOC and others haven't called out Sotomayor for impeachment and Pelosi hasn't derided Sotomayor for her lack of ethics. The selective outrage shows they don't care about ethics at all. They just can't stand a Supreme Court that recognizes the limitations of each branch of government and believes it is important to maintain separation of powers.

The media and other Democrats claim they care about children and their safety, yet they have little concern about child trafficking at the border and support Newsom and other California Democrats no matter how much they coddle the criminals. Why would anyone think Newsom would be a good President with his record in California?
CA Dems Block Bill That Would Make Human Trafficking of a Minor a Serious Felony
Democrats also fight very hard to suppress the audience for a film on child trafficking while they lecture Republicans about limiting the books that children can see in school libraries.
Sound of Freedom: Why Are Progressives Targeting a Film Exposing Child Trafficking?
And then there is climate change:
Gates, Kerry, Obama, Gore, and other rich leftists fly in private jets and live in multiple mansions, including at ocean level, while lecturing us peasants that we are destroying the Earth and we don't have much time left as the coastal cities will soon disappear. We have been hearing those talking points for decades, yet they never come true and not once have the green pushers been called on to provide scientific data linking cola and oil use to temperatures. to support their policies.
The media and other Democrats seem to have one guiding principle they live by; they will seek to destroy anyone who gets in the way of their quest for power. They are willing to lie to intentionally mislead the public because there is always an election coming up.
