Most Demanding?



I have to agree with a href="http://volokh.com/posts/1249645755.shtml"David Bernstein/a when it comes to the a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/07/us/politics/07scotus.html?_r=1hp"assertion/a that Sotomayor "will soon take on one of the most demanding jobs in the land." Granting that the job has some high-level intellectual demands and pressures, I would say that in fact being a Supreme Court justice is relatively undemanding for a job of its prestige and influence. I would note, for example, that one year Sandra Day O'Connor a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2005/06/11/oconnor_is_most_traveled_justice/"was reimbursed for span style="font-style:italic;"28/span trips./a I think it's safe to say that there are a lot of more demanding jobs out there.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7163938-5884959694738486870?l=lefarkins.blogspot.com'//div
