This is such crap. These judges make good money, at least compared to what I'm making. I'm an idealist, no doubt, but I think the idea of serving as a judge should in part be due to some sense of public service. Sure, those people could make more money in the private sector. But is that the point? Even if it is the point, I think demanding higher pay is ridiculous. I'd be psyched to make six figures. It just sounds like whining to me.
