Don't be so sure about that. He was in the top of his class at Holy Cross and if he had a decent LSAT in the 70's he would've been admitted.

I’m actually curious if you could provide the quotes. He said quite the opposite in his book.

If he was otherwise qualified, he wouldn't know if he was an AA admit. That's a sort of the point.

Reading into that link, there's two things in play. Sotomayor disclosed the money she received from the book publisher, but by not recusing herself there'a possible conflict of interest.

Where Thomas and Alito get in murky water is not disclosing the trips/benefits they're getting from donors. Also a possible conflict of interest.

Per Supreme Court rules, NONE of these Justices were required to disclose any of these activities. It’s all Bullshit smoke and nothing illegal.

"As much as it had stung to be told I'd done well...despite My race, it was far worse to know I was at Yale because of it" guess you missed this part.

Curious, is that the actual quote? Seems like the right wing rag Vox (sarc) has a different version. So yes, missed that part…
