Yes, JD, very well indeed. I lived in Washington DC for 17 months from 2013 to 2015 and it is a very expensive city in which to live, one of my coworkers who lived in DC permanently was raving about the apartment they had just rented in DC - a 2 bedroom 2 bath for ONLY $3400 a month (not including parking or utilities). I was flabbergasted, that was $1500 a month more than my PITI mortgage on a 4 bedroom 3 bath home with attached 2 car garage in Sacramento County. But she was right it was a steal in DC.

That being said, the base salary of each of the 8 associate justices was $274.200 inc 2023 and many of them write books for which they are well paid (well into the 6 figures annually) in addition to which they are well paid to speak at various gatherings. PLUS they each have a very generous expense account's.

The Chief Justice salary is $286,700. There are no restrictions on how much they can earn from selling books and speaking tours. They are just required to report that income.

The only reason from taking bribes is those justices are too lazy to write books. Plus Clarence Thomas apparently considers himself so brilliant he deserves to be a millionaire.

Oh, and I failed to mention they spend an average 7 days a month in court. They do, if they take their job seriously spend a lot of time reading briefs and studying the pertaining law. They each have very bright law clerks from prestigious law schools clerking for them,

Since the evil 6-pack make such anti Constitutional decisions I doubt those 6 spend much time reading the Constitution. I think they operate on the "my mind's made up, don't bother me with Constitutional facts."
