It is GOOD to be King.
Just ask any Judge.

Lehner, who acknowledged he would be affected by his own decision, ordered the state to raise judicial pay to reflect cost of living increases since 1998. Talk about conflict of interest! Lehner just abused his power for personal gain.

Tell the judge to stick it - he should have recused himself for the blatant conflict of interest.

I just ordered my boss to give me a raise, but my wife said no.

Judges can order elected officials around. TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANT. So much for checks and balances and the constitutional separation of powers. We live today in a kaikistocracy.

He said state legislators illegally linked a judicial salary increase to one for themselves. The article didn't have any background information on this. Did he site the NY state constitution and law, or did he just make it up on the spot?

In Arizona a judge ordered the schools to pass students who did not pass and dictated the school budget.
Judicial tyranny is running amok, and yet some politicians reportedly babble about "bringing Democracy" to Iraq or wherever.

Lehner should be politely led to the gallows. This POS ordering a pay raise for himself.

Now all he has to do is order the Governor to sign the bill.
Then we will have all three branches of government wrapped up in one black collar criminal.

Never in my life in the United States have I heard of a suit by state judges against a state legislature asking for increased pay. It’s preposterous that any judge who would be enriched by a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs should be hearing and ruling on the case. There’s no more flagrant example of judicial conflict of interest than this!
