1) Justice Sotomayor received $3.6 Million from Penguin Random House WHILE she was a Justice, and SHE SPECIFICALLY voted to NOT hear three (2) cases against Penguin Random House... which COULD have resulted in large settlements AGAINST Penguin Random House... she REFUSED to recuse herself !
2) Justice Gorsuch received $600K from Penguin Random House WHILE he was a Justice, and SPECIFICALLY voted to NOT hear one (1) case against Penguin Random House... which COULD have resulted in large settlements AGAINST Penguin Random House... he REFUSED to recuse himself !
3) Justice Steven Breyer who ALSO received book royalties from the publisher Penguin Random House, but DID recused himself.
4) Amy Coney Barrett received six-figure book advances... THAT appears to be TRUE... BUT THAT is NOT illegal... From what I could see, in none of those instances were the book companies cases in front of the Supreme Court, and so, there was NO REASON for her to recuse herself, and so, was NOTHING illegal or unethical !
it seems to me Justice Sotomayor is OBVIOUSLY and UTTERLY guilty of KNOWINGLY and REPEATEDLY abusing her position and power! Justice Gorsuch looks to be in the same boat as Sotomayor... but is NOT in as EGREGIOUS circumstances... Justice Breyer should be congratulated for DOING the RIGHT thing... and regarding Amy Coney Barrett ?... it seems Liberals want to ACCUSE her of something that is NOT illegal... and to tar her with the same brush as Sotomayor and Gorsuch... but the circumstances DO NOT appear to be the same !!!
this country is ****
