So does that mean that some of the most loaded charges are founded?!

Vote all politicians and robed trough-feeders out of office every chance you get!!!!!!!!!


🍺

Want stare decisis and the stability it has brought to our society?Hang on to the good ones.
Avoid politics in the courts whenever possible.

Want quality justices (and judges)?
Hang on to the good ones.

Think the Taj Mahal is really bad?
Justice Lewis opposed it!


Think Justice Lewis feeds "at the trough" for the money?
He was a "cream of the crop" trial and appellate lawyer who has given up hundreds of thousand, if not a million dollars or more in income serving on the bench.





Funny how you don't complain about Ron Paul serving in the House of Reps for the last 15 years



(LOL. You are cracking me up!)

It sounds like Mr Lewis will do fine with finding a new job, especially with the economy on the rise.

Yep, even independent of the economy. But, him or any other justice earning a living is not the issue. they have all given up their better incomes to serve. It is just proof of sorts that he isn't on the job for the money. He is 65 and was actually going to retire, but this power grab that is an end-run around the state constitution has motivated him to fight like hell to protect what he believes in. He doesn't care who is chosen to replace him or by who the governor is at the time. He's just livid that the Republican Party and other special interests untruthfully thrust themselves in to a non-partisan issue of such great constitutional importance. My hunch is that if he is retained, he will retire shortly thereafter, feeling like he truly finished his career having fought his best for what he cherishes.

Abolish ALL government and the state!!!

Heck seeks to turn down Hill pension

BY STEVE TETREAULT STEPHENS WASHINGTON BUREAU

Posted: Jun. 18, 2012 | 5:53 p.m.

WASHINGTON - Rep. Joe Heck tried late last year to withdraw from the retirement system set up for Congress, only to be told that was impossible. A 2003 law made participation mandatory.

So the Nevada Republican on Friday introduced a bill that would permit lawmakers to decline a pension, a move that could save taxpayers some money while allowing Heck and like-minded members of Congress to make a point about public service.

"If you don't want to receive a taxpayer-funded pension, you shouldn't be forced into receiving it," Heck said. "I didn't come to Congress to collect a pension."

With the bill, Heck joins a small number of House members who are seeking reforms in the Federal Employees' Retirement System, whose pensions for lawmakers are considered more generous than those for most private employees or federal or state workers.

Heck, who has an individual retirement account and is expecting a military pension after serving more than 20 years in the Army Reserve, tried to pull out of the House system and claim a refund of the $188 per month that had been deducted from his paycheck. He was turned away.

Rep. Richard Nugent. R-Fla., a House freshman elected with tea party support, also has a bill allowing lawmakers to withdraw from the pension system.

While unaware of others, Heck said there likely are a few other House freshmen who feel the same.

Before 2003, House lawmakers could opt out from the pension system.

A few including Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, and Howard Coble, R-N.C., have done so, according to Pete Sepp, executive vice president of the National Taxpayers Union.

A House government reform subcommittee held a hearing on federal pensions in January. Sepp took that to suggest there might be sentiment to make changes.

Sepp said some House candidates have said during campaigns that they wouldn't take a pension but then arrived in Congress to discover they don't have a choice. They are automatically enrolled.

Of those who want to decline a pension, "Most say either the system is too generous or the current federal deficit situation calls for some personal sacrifice," Sepp said.

They should get whatever pensions they expected going in, but going forward they should have pension bennefits similar to those the rest of us have available in the private sector. Still may need to be government managed to avoid piecemeal accounting and payments to different plans. whoever doesn't want it can return it to the government monthly) like my cousin does with his SS Benefit). just don't want a system where good politicians can't afford to serve, leaving the offices to the wealthy only.

Politicians should get no pension,,,
It shouldn't be a career.
serve a term ot two then go back to private life,,,

You may pass "GO"!

Word.

ONE TERM AND DONE!!!!!


Re-elect NOBODY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
