Latest GOP Whine? Chief Justice John Roberts, About His Pay

[Stingo]

Chief Justice John G. Roberts, in the midst of the most significant downturn in our economy in eightly years or so, has decided to ask Congress for a raise. With unemployment running rampant and foreclosures punishing average household, Mr. Roberts evidently sees no irony in whining about his lifetime appointment and $217K salary.

1. He Can Always Resign n/t

[The Magistrate]

6. Exactly, Sir

[JDPriestly]

9. He knew what the pay was when he accepted the job.

He should have thought about how the comparatively low wage (compared to what a big firm would pay him) would do to his lifestyle and the lifestyle of his family. Not exactly a planner. He should quit in protest. I think this would be an excellent time for him to try to go back into private practice.

2. Justice Robert's pay

Let him resign and go back into private practice.

[Submariner]

3. Tough job, eh?

Sitting around and doing nothing 90% of the time, and a job guaranteed for life? For $217K, I'd take the check and shut up pissant. If it wasn't for a Dummy named Bush, you wouldn't have ever had a chance getting the job you have now. STFU.

[Stingo]

4. The timing of his request is a case of poor judgement

I therefore say he should resign out of shame.

5. Oh, the poor dear.

[Donnachaidh]

7. wasn't he angling for a hefty PER DIEM last year?

If I recall, he was laughed out of congress on that little tantrum. If he asks for a raise they should give him the opportunity to QUIT. Fuck him and his crybaby tantrums.

8. the pay is really low but it`s made up in prestige and power....

[Stingo]

13. The pay SHOULD be higher

But asking for it now after Bush Fed up the economy is bad judgement, and bad judgement from a judge is a poor thing indeed.

[PoiBoy]

10. Boo f*cking hoo....

Hey Roberts..!

Here's what we think of your whine...










Get a real job..., loser!

[opihimoimoi]

11. LET THE SOB RESIGN.....275K not enough??? RESIGN...quit whining

Typ PUB...its ALL ABOUT HIM....

Country First??? My ass it is...

[Doctor_J]

12. To quote felon Tom Delay,

"I defy anyone to live on a congressman's salary" (which was at the time $168,000/yr)
