It's always fun watching those with less than zero ethics lecture others about it. But as with everything in life, when a lib accuses you of doing something, there's a 100% chance they're already doing it.
Racist democrats have hated Clarence Thomas for literally decades so it's no wonder they're trying every trick in the book to boot him off the court. They can't stand the idea of an accomplished black man being a free thinker.
The problem is...for every accusation they hurl at him, they end up blasting one of their own. LOL!
https://www.dailywire.com/news/liberal-scotus-just...Liberal SCOTUS Justice Took $3M From Book Publisher, Didn't Recuse From Its Cases
Random House was her main source of earned income, but she voted on key decision where publisher stood to lose money, even as similarly-positioned colleague recused.OOOOPS. Recusal in the face of potential conflict is one of the most BASIC things judges do. But not Sotomayor, I guess. Let's read on!
In 2010, she got a $1.2 million book advance from Knopf Doubleday Group, a part of the conglomerate. In 2012, she reported receiving two advance payments from the publisher totaling $1.9 million.
...
In 2017, Sotomayor began receiving payments each year from Penguin Random House itself, which continued annually through at least 2021, the most recent disclosure available, and totaled more than $500,000. In all, she received $3.6 million from Penguin Random House or its subsidiaries, according to a Daily Wire tally of financial disclosures.Was it unusual for other justice to recuse? Nope:
The Supreme Court does not reveal how individual justices vote when it comes to 'cert,' but it does note when they recuse, which Sotomayor did not. Her decision not to recuse is particularly notable because Breyer again recused. Breyer received payments from Penguin Random House or Knopf each year, which he seemingly viewed as a conflict, even though he received only a tenth of the amount ' $340,000 during the same time period ' as Sotomayor (Breyer's wife also wrote a book for the company).So there we have it.
BTW - Thomas is far from the champion for bought and paid for trips, but that's another post.
Grade? Fail.
