Hags: Two Supreme Court justices are reportedly bosses from hell on their clerks and staff, new book alleges
Why are left-wing Democrats so full of horrible women?

Why are Democrats so loaded with nasty, vicious women?
A new book by respected Washington columnist and editor Mollie Hemingway came out with some doozies of information about the sheer unbearableness of Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, who are apparently nightmares to work for for all who come into their orbit.
According to the Daily Mail:
In her forthcoming book, Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution, conservative journalist and author Mollie Hemingway lifts the lid on the justices' treatment of clerks. ...
Hemingway, who spoke with over 100 former clerks and staff for the book, sensationally claims that liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor are the worst justices to clerk for.
Hemingway alleges that several of Kagan's former clerks, 'along with others at the Court, have described her as "emotionally abusive," "demanding, demoralizing, demeaning," and "a hard a**."'
'Kagan's clerks had fear in their eyes,' Hemingway said someone who clerked for a different justice recounted to her.
Other former aides speculated that there is 'something psychological going on there,' Hemingway writes.
Other clerks compared Kagan to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, moving from 'extremely kind to extremely angry,' Hemingway claims.
Another former staffer said Kagan is 'like Klobuchar' - a reference to Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who was the subject of a New York Times article about her alleged poor treatment of her staff.
Meanwhile, Sotomayor is said to have treated members of the Court's 'permanent staff' like 'valet(s).'
There are known 'stories of [Sotomayor] barking at them to help her carry her bags,' per Hemingway's book.
Hemingway describes Kagan and Sotomayor's behavior as distinct from their colleagues', and notes that most former clerks and permanent staff members have great opinions of their former bosses.
All the other justices are humane and civilized. But a pair of them has chosen to go the other way, acting like Anna Wintour of 'The Devil Wears Prada' fame (and a top Democrat fundraiser) by abusing those beneath them, confident in their own reflected glory. In some ways, that sounds like Cesar Chavez, albeit not involving sexual predation.
But the misery is real enough for those who work under these over-celebrated 'historic firsts' who, like Cesar, have let it go to their heads. Maybe that's the best argument against affirmative action hires, given the frequency of this kind of primadonna-ism.
