How about you reverse Roe v. Wade and THEN we'll consider a raise for ya? ;)
Roberts will be decrying a lot more when Barry loads the courts with commies.
Congress voted itself an automatic pay raise but it’s not automatic for every body else. The judiciary has to beg like we do? Study the Constitution while you’re waiting on the memo re the pay raise.
I was thinking about seeing what happens in the Birth Certificate matter first. It is a rough call for them but let them earn their salary. Also, their tenure is for life but tenure is not a ball and chain. They are free to resign at any time.
Yeah, I too like John Roberts, but his timing on this is bad.
hmmmm....wonder why there were soooooo many bankruptcy filings......hhhmmmmm??? DEMOCRATS rule!
is he THAT OUT OF TOUCH?
Why must he have a “bail out”?
Surely he can make some extra money moving his lips and presenting somewhere ... .
Heck, WRITE A BOOK!
He's a lousy, greedy hypocrite.
I’ll make him and the other justices a deal. For each one that shows a willingness to make sure our constitution is upheld I’ll make one phone call, send one fax, and one email to my elected representatives on their behalf.
Otherwise, tough noogies.
Why should people get a raise when they don’t do their job.
They refuse to support the Constitution in the most simple manner.
Simply tell Obama to come to Washington and bring his Birth Certificate before Jan. 20th. or there wont be any Judges to swear in the illegitimate President.
No pay raise for traitors who won’t defend the Constitution.
They should be removed and tried for treason.
Anyone working for the government should keep their mouths shut about seeking more pay during this economic downturn.
And people actually think the SCOTUS will save them from The One (piss be upon him).
Don’t worry, º will take care of everything.
This has been an issue for years, but it is not as straightforward as it seems.
There are 9 Supreme Court justices and 179 appellate judgeships, for all intents and purposes these are the ONLY judges that determine constitutional matters.
On the other hand, there are 678 district court judgeships (they primarily deal with criminal and civil matters), there are 352 bankruptcy judgeships and 551 full-time and part-time magistrate judgeships.
In other words, there are less than 200 federal judges involved in constitutional matters and over 1500 who have nothing to do with these issues.
Supreme Court and Court of Appeals judges often have book and law school deals that offset their incomes. However, normal judges DO NOT and the problem has been these judges leaving to return to private practice and the courts risk losing talent this way. A talented judge in his early 40s with a mortgage and three kids in college can usually make at least twice as much money in private practice and these are the ones that Roberts (and Rehnquist before him) is worried about losing.
Tell you what John, you order Barack Hussein Obama to bring his arrogant ass into your Courtroom, and tell him ahead of time that he better have that vault copy of his birth certificate delivered first by U.S. Marshals to prevent any tampering en route, and that he had best be prepared to demonstrate that he is Constitutionally eligible to serve as President of these United States, and THEN:
and ONLY then, will we talk about a pay raise, ok pal?
There all alike......outta touch with Americans.
You said — “You know, I like this guy, but REALLY. America is tapped out, Dude!”
Ummmm..., he may be holding up this Obama birth certificate thing until that raise comes through... LOL...
