The judge argued that the Legislatures' refusal to compensate judges for the erosion of their pay due to inflation is a violation of the Constitutional guarantee of a competent and independent judiciary.

It's a tenuous argument, but not an unprecedented one (Goodheart v. Case, 521 Pa. 316 (1989), aff'd 523 Pa. 188 (1989).)

It is poor argumentation to criticize a position before you have researched the opposing side.

That is absoultely retarded... I am even angrier now that I heard that. So you have to be rich to be competent? What’s the treashold for competent? Why don’t you lawyers decide... you’ve made everything else so perfect. I’m surprised you haven’t re-written the bible too to tell us “little people” how we should live.
