Bronze sculptures, cowboy boots and guns: The weirdest gifts disclosed by Supreme Court justices
Sotomayor was confirmed to the high court in 2009, and in her first three years on the bench, she disclosed more gifts — and provided more details about them — than any of her colleagues. Since 2012, in contrast, she has reported almost no gifts. Some of the items she listed in her early years sound worthy of a modern art gallery. In 2011, she received a “translucent composite print,” apparently by the California photographer Robert Weingarten, worth $6,000.
Gorsuch also disclosed a $1,000 watercolor painting, though unlike Sotomayor’s three owls, Gorsuch didn’t detail its subject matter.Brett Kavanaugh , Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson each have not reported any gifts during their time on the court so far. None of the justices’ disclosure forms for 2022 have been released yet; those are expected next month.Before his death in 2016, Scalia was well known for loving two things: hunting and textualism.
Ginsburg also reported other valuable gifts that did not go to charity. In 2018, she amended a disclosure form to reflect her receipt of an opera costume, valued at $4,500, from her in the Washington National Opera’s production of “The Daughter of the Regiment.” Ginsburg also once reported a gift bag worth $2,500 that she received in connection with being named one of Glamour magazine’s “Women of the Year.”
