For colleges and libraries seeking a big name for a guest lecturer, few come bigger than Sonia Sotomayor, the Supreme Court justice who rose from poverty in the Bronx to the nation’s highest court.

Looks like Federalist Society conservatives are desperate to find anything untoward they can pin on liberal SCOTUS justices after revelations of a bribery scandal with Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

Staffers asking college libraries to buy Sotomayer’s books is some weak sauce in comparison.

    These reports are showing it’s not just a couple bad justices, it’s a systemic ethical failure.

      I figured that out when all of the Supreme Court justices all released that joint statement pushing back on independent over sight, mandatory compliance with ethics rules, and greater transparency because their buddy Clarence Thomas was getting exposed. That really proved that the rot went deep.
