judges work hard…and we need to attract the top of the
profession to hear legal disputes….that means paying
judges an amount that at least makes it plausible for
talented lawyers to seek positions on the bench….
what they receive now is a disgrace…they have no
union..they don;t bargain collectively ..they are at
the mercy of a state legislature who won’t give them
raises unless they themselves get raises..and this
has been going on for 10 years..you either place importance
on those whose job it is to sit in judgment on others
or…you allow those who need work desperately to
seek judicial jobs through their parties clubhouses
and that my friends is really not the best way
to insure the integrity of the judicial system long
