Justices talk pay on Capitol Hill
From Times Wire Reports
Two Supreme Court justices pressed lawmakers to raise the pay of federal judges and refrain from requiring the court to televise its sessions.
Justices Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas went to Capitol Hill to discuss the court’s budget request for next year, a largely formal exercise made interesting by the rare give-and-take between justices and members of Congress.
Bills are pending in the House and Senate that would raise judges’ pay by 30% or more.
