Arent these establishment politicians great. They are all in 'Public Service', yet they seem to make a shit load of money. You have people like the Obamas, Clintons, Pelosis, the Bushes who are some of the richest people in the world, yet they have never held a real job or produced a single thing in their lives. Now this Sotomayor is trying to get rich just like the rest of them. Sotomayor's wealth has skyrocketed since joining Supreme Court, raising ethics concerns 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.
