bribing a justice

2023-08-07 14:29:50.414886+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Margaret McMullan talks about Justice Sotomayor talking at her event. How I ‘bribed’ a justice to take a no-expenses-paid trip to Mississippi

The standard royalty rate for authors is less than 10 percent of the sales price. I don’t know anything about Sotomayor’s deal with her publishers, but 10 percent would make her cut of the 1,500 books our foundation purchased approximately $2,250 — for which she had to fly to Mississippi and give two presentations. During the hottest month of the year.

Was that a bribe? You be the judge.
