Well if your name is Chief Justice Roberts then it is not. He has made his and his colleagues pay a top issue for congress in 2007. With Habeas Corpus, domestic wiretapping, violations of the Geneva Conventions, illegal wars and THIS is a constitutional crisis for Roberts.

his concern is that many judges are leaving the public sector to the private where they can get better wages from a private firm. His concern is that there will soon be no judges left over.

Depends on the job.
Those folks could earn a hell of a lot more in the private sector. Wouldn't you want to keep them where they are?
He is talking about all federal judges, no matter who appointed them.
And he is talking about the most basic economics.
Yes, there are many advantages other than money, but all employers have to be somewhat competitive.
Those that feel otherwise are free to turn down the additional salary, I suppose.

HE heard about the 100 million dollar bonus handed out to just two Ceo's .He is ticked off really bad that he is so under valued in America . He will show us all in time .
We will all try and figure out a way to get justice in America and it will cost us a pretty penny too . Million dollar salaries for all top government workers .Or we will continue to get the shaft .

Not enough. If you work in a private sector, you'll get way more. The most powerful man in the world, the President only gets paid 400k a year compared to CEOs who makes millions.

200k a year is fine for those guys. that puts them easily in the top 5% of the working population.
They knew what they'd get paid when took the job. If he doesn't like the pay, he can resign and go work in the private sector.

I'm a Professional Property Manager and I know people in my line of work who make that much. Here's an idea, you try buying a home and living in Washington, DC on $203,000 a year and see how that works for you.

Consider what top CEO's make and compare it to $203k and you'll see it's peanuts. The Supreme Court DOES deserve more.

He proably also feels that minimum wage should only raised once every 20 years and even then by only 10%.
