Many judges become judges at around the time their kids are in high school or college. They want their kids to go to the best universities, and don't have $80,000 a year for two kids in college.

And quite frankly, we expect our judges to live a certain lifestyle - mind you - not the lifestyle of the rich and famous, but a rather nice, elegant lifestyle befitting of their position.

Fine, all you who expect our judges to live a certain lifestyle can take up a collection.

I don't expect anything of a judge other than they do a competent or possibly even brilliant job. I don't care where they live or with whom their kids attend school. You sound like we all read a version of People magazine for top federal employees.

I want my kids to go to fine schools too - but that doesn't mean my employer should feel beholden to pay me more just because I have a kid of college age.
