I figured it would be more.

[Rusty0604]

She is big on personal responsibility and common sense.

[AFreeBird]

These idiots should sue the schools they went to.

[Covenantor]

I figured it would be more.

Nah... they're too young to remember Diana Ross and the Supremes, else they'd know she was the Chief Justice and lead singer.

;>)

I have spoken to recent graduates who could not correctly answer more than one out of ten questions that were on my eighth grade history final and they were history MAJORS!

1 in 10 college students couldn’t grab their own ass with both hands.

This explains how Obama gout elected...twice!

Just a couple of weeks ago, young people were asked very enthusiastically by a reporter if they would congratulate North Korea on the successful testing of the H-Bomb...

Many did.....

They seemed not to know anything about North Korea or their stance in the world...

[TexasCajun]

I like her, but think she might be a gun-grabber.

I've seen a few episodes that make me think that.

Report: 1 in 10 college grads say Judge Judy is a Supreme Court Justice

And thanks to all the faux positive reinforcement they've gotten since they were two years old ("Everyone's a winner! Everyone gets a gold medal!"), not only are they ignoramuses, they are supremely confident in their college-indoctrinated "knowledge".

Judge Judy earns more than all 9 Supreme Court Justices combined. Yikes!

[Savage Beast]

Great idea! Maybe Trump will appoint her!

From Wikipedia:

In July 2010 when Sheindlin’s contract was renewed, her salary increased to $45 million per year. It was later reported in October 2013 that Sheindlin is the highest-paid TV star, earning $47 million per year for Judge Judy, which translates into just over $900,000 per workday (she works 52 days per year).

Salary of the Supreme Court - Jan 2015
Chief Justice, Supreme Court $258,100
Associate Justices, Supreme Court $246,800

So 246,800 x 8 = 1,974,400 + 258,100 = $ 2,232,500

Judge Judy earns $47,000,000 per year vs $ 2,232,500 for the 9 Supreme Court Justices.

Oh yeah; Dianna Ross and the Supremes.

Not only did I fall in love, I am still in love.

She’d be a HUGE improvement over the other ladies on that court.

Just looked it up....Judge Joseph Wapner is still alive (at age 96!)
