I agree. I'm not saying they are under paid. I have never seen a case of a judge refusing a seat on the bench over money.

Why would you ever know if a person refused the offer of an appointment? Are you the gatekeeper?

"Why would you ever know if a person refused the offer of an appointment? Are you the gatekeeper?"

No, I'm not the gatekeeper. I just thought that when the "short list" for a seat on the bench is reported in the media, if it was a problem of some turning down the offer because of pay we would hear about it.

If its a problem they keep it a secret?
