I have done fairly well. The water stains on his fence, unforgivable. Fix your sprinklers you douchebag.

But holy hell, I can't afford a beach home! WTF!

Before they became judges and justices, and made good money that way. Or they're in the federal prosecution system, which has always had decent pay.

The salary of a USSC justice has always been generous as well; currently, it's $277K. Quite easy to afford two homes on that salary, especially if your kids are grown and out of the house.
