For the life they have to lead and the confirmation process, yep they need more money. Just getting past the left wing pacs is tough enough, but getting past schumer is worth millions. Add to this that they really can't invest or moonlight at anything, but they are expected to be the absolute best in their field, yeah they ought to get paid pretty well. How much is a 2500 square foot house in VA these days?
Oh please. All any idiot has to do to get confirmed is to bow down and promise to uphold Roe v. Wade. Schumer would fall all over himself getting them confirmed.
