"Overpaid Judges"

"Overpaid Judges": The New York Sun today contains an editorial that begins, "If the judges in the State of New York want to understand why the people of the State of New York haven't raised their pay in nearly a generation, let them study the decision handed down this week by Judge Jonathan Lippman in the case involving the first bombing of the World Trade Center. It's hard to recall a decision that is more outrageous. Judge Lippman, whom Governor Spitzer appointed to the First Department, upheld the notion that the Port Authority was 68% liable for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, while the terrorists were only 32% liable."

And yesterday in that newspaper, Theodore Frank had a related op-ed entitled "Blame Port Authority."

My earlier coverage of the ruling appears at this link.
