Sotomayor still getting gifts from the public

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Sonia Sotomayor revealed Wednesday that she is still getting gifts more than two years after her confirmation as the Supreme Court’s first Hispanic justice, including a $6,000 “translucent composite print” of important places and things from her life that will soon go on display at a Smithsonian Institution gallery in Washington.

Sotomayor, confirmed to the court in 2009, revealed in her financial disclosure form she got “gifts of books, art, jewelry and trinkets” from many people in 2011, all of which were less than the $335 amount required to individually disclose. She did disclose gifts of $1,400 in fine china and the $6,000 digital “artist’s print” from artist Robert Weingarten
