Left’s Bogus SCOTUS Attack Brings Focus on Legit Sotomayor Scandal

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) As Democrats attempt to spur controversy relating to conservative judges by filing numerous ethics complaints, tables turned as the focus shifted to scandals involving Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor

The far-leftist justice has recently been in the news for numerous improper disclosures relating to funded trips, purchases and connections that could potentially influence the bench. 

Adding to the scandal, a recent Daily Wire report brought several copyright infringement cases Sotomayor failed to liberate herself from to light. 

The cases involved books published by Penguin Random House, which has already paid her millions for her books. Records proved that this is her largest source of income by a stretch. 

The report noted that she got a $1.2 million book advance from Knopf Doubleday Group, a part of the conglomerate, in 2010. Two years later, she confirmed that she received two advance payments from the publisher totaling $1.9 million.

In 2013, Sotomayor voted in a court decision to hear a case against Aaron Greenspan v. Random House, despite her then-colleague Justice Stephen Breyer withdrawing after also receiving money from the publisher. 

Sotomayor received annual payments from Penguin Random House from 2017 through at least 2021, totaling $3.6 million, according to reports.

In 2019, children’s book writer Jennie Nicasso implored the Supreme Court to hear her case against Penguin Random House on claims that the publisher sold an identical book to hers. Surprisingly, Sotomayor received a $10,586 check from the publisher the day the writer distributed her petition to the justices. 

The Court’s decision favored the publisher as the justices voted not to hear the case. Coincidentally, Sotomayor got her biggest check of $82,807 from the parent company only a few months after the court’s decision.

Reports noted that similar situations also occurred with authors Nicassio and Viacom, who both sued the publisher for copyright infringement. 

These discoveries come as a coordinated attack has been launched against conservative justices by several far-left outlets, echoing the same misinformation about the court’s conservative justices’ alleged financial misconducts.
