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

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.
