Bush appointed, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts, declared in his single-topic, year-end report that a failure to raise judicial pay scales would results in a "constitutional crisis." Judge Roberts currently earns $212,000 per annum or roughly $101.00 per hour. The current minimum wage for nearly 2 million Americans - set at $5.15/hr over a decade ago - more closely resembles an epic humanitarian emergency. |
