Thomas- "The job is not worth doing for what they pay,but it is worth doing for the principle.

[Swede]

Gag.


“The job is not worth doing for what they pay,” he told the bar association in Savannah, Georgia, in 2001, ““The job is not worth doing for what they pay,” he told the bar association in Savannah, Georgia, in 2001, “but it is worth doing for the principle.””

1. Says the judge who has no principles.

[piddyprints]

15. That may be the point.

He can get away with no principles.

[OLDMDDEM]

16. I agree with you.

He needs to resign and be arrested.

2. Don't forget the interest, Clarence...

[Brainfodder]

3. This guy got a bad case of opposite tongue?

Maybe have that replaced with a robot one you control after brain surgery, now if you wouldn't mind standing over the X, thank you.

4. and the principal of course

[bottomofthehill]

5. Funny, I feel that about my job too

Difference is that I have personal and professional ethics that I must adhere to. Justice Thomas has neither. I would like to think my father raised a man of integrity and the professional rules are not what keep me doing the right thing because it is the right thing, but, the guidelines do help.

6. Then resign you overpaid fucking pig.

7. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

8. It seems to pay real well, depending on what's for sale - and Thomas is on the market.

[bullimiami]

9. Obviously wasn't worth doing for the principals since he arranged other compensation.

10. I could live quite comfortably on $230,000/year - Thomas' current salary.

Especially since on retirement he gets that amount (or more) for the rest of his life.

And I've got the same degrees Thomas has (BA and JD), plus one more (MS).

For a few years I made about 50-70% of that, but most of my working career I've made less than 30% of that, and my retirement income is less than 20% of that.

[Bettie]

13. Most people could

He actually would have been paid $274,200 in 2022; 285,400 will be his salary in 2023.

That's not a poverty wage as he seems to think.

But, I guess he also bolsters his income with "gifts" from various individuals.

[Ms. Toad]

14. So I got old information.

I was just looking for a ballpark, so I just grabbed the first source I found.

Thanks for the update!

11. You just have to interpret it correctly

The base pay isn't enough but you can supplement your income by selling your principles.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. Justice that money can literally buy.

17. He should take that act on the road

Comedy gold!

[Blue Owl]

18. Please, Clarence...

Puh-leeeeze...

[arthritisR_US]

19. The only principles he has are ALL corrupt.

[Paladin]

20. Thomas/Principle, as in trump/Honesty (nt)

[miyazaki]

21. With that level of arrogance you cannot be principled.

which means you don't qualify for the job. Of course Uncle Thomas never qualified so he can fuck right off.
