#1 A Kennedy who dislikes patronization? Quite unique I'd say. You don't like being a wage earner in the top 3% of all Americans?
then find other work you sniveling, whining puke.

#2 I am of the opinion that we *ought* to pay our judges more.

#3 So f*cking quit! I'll take the job for that kind of money.

#4 they should make less than the President, VP and all legislators, none of which has a lifetime appointment.

#5 Why don't we just confirm the ones we've already hired, so they can judge? Since they're salaried, they don't get overtime, so my proposal would amount to a pay increase for actual work done, right?

#6 Sea, I agree. These guys leave a LOT of money on the table when they go on the bench, if they're any good. And I hope they are. And I'm willing to pay for it. Except for Anthony "Whiner" Kennedy. Patronized? My ass. I'll bet no one ever patronized Oliver Wendell Holmes, or Harry Black (HWNAL) or, name your own favorite SC justice. Criminee, he's a justice on the greatest court in the world and he feels patronized?! What a wimp.

#7 Does this mean that 'americans dont want the job' of being a Fed. Judge?

#8 lol, CF! What does (on an annual basis) McCain's proposal of $50/hour come to? I'd sign up in a heartbeat, especially if he paid me under the table in cash a'la the amigos. Calculator says that's a TRUE $104,000/year, with NO withholdings! Sign me up! So much for the whole "Americans won't do this work" argument!

#9 I'd also nominate any of my fine Rantburgian friends to the bench. Any one of us would make a better judge than Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg et. al.

#10 "The failure of the Congress to address the problem of judicial salary is assuming the proportion of a historic wrong," says Kennedy.

You just missed another historic opportunity to STFU, Justice Kennedy. Your ruling on Kelo v. New London was an act of treason. Come the glorious day...
