Waaah Waaah Waaah

I tried to muster some sympathy for the federal judges who say $169,000 is too little salary, but it just isn't happening. I hope that the reason the article downplays the fact that there's little to no evidence that low pay is actually turning talented jurists away from judgeships is that the judges' whining is self-evidently ridiculous, not that the writer sympathizes. But at least now we can rest assured that Rick Santorum won't aim for a spot on the bench, considering he had to beg his parents for money to supplement his similarly generous Senate salary.
