U.S. Judge Robert Timlin of Los Angles; big time porker, ethically indigent
LA Federal District Judge Robert Timlin has digested more public pork than Jimmy Dean produces in one-year.
In 1994, President Clinton nominated Judge Robert Timlin to sit on the Central District Court of California located in Los Angeles. At the time he was nominated, Judge Robert Timlin was sixty-two (62) years old. I can’t imagine why anyone would nominate someone that was 62-years old to begin a new career as a Federal Judge, can you? Apparently, it was either ex-California Senator Alan Cranston or Senator Barbara Boxer.
Prior to being appointed on September 14, 1994, Judge Robert Timlin’s so-called work history is as follows:
Over the past fifty-five (55) years, Judge Robert Timlin has spent forty-nine (49) years porking out at the public trough. Judge Robert Timlin earns $174,000 a year as federal district judge. In addition, from 2003 through 2007, he has received $610,396 as judicial pension payments from the State of California. Judge Robert Timlin’s earnings for 2007 were:
On February 1, 2005, after a mere ten (10) years on the bench, Judge Robert Timlin decided to become a “senior status” judge. According to the US Courts Administrative Office, the average Senior Judge works 6.0 hours a week.
Federal judges now earn $174,000 (ca. 2009, therefore, their wages would be (a) $15,818 a month, (b) $3,954 a week, (c) $791 a day, and (d) $90 an hour based on working eleven (11) months a year with one a one-month vacation.
Since Judge Robert Timlin is a senior judge and likely only works 6-hours a week (average for all senior judges) or 4-days a month, his wages at $174,000 a year would be $5,299 per day for each day worked for an hourly rate of $603.
If Congress gives the federal judiciary a 50% pay increase, then Judge Robert Timlin’s daily wage would increase to $7,259 for each day worked for an hourly rate of $904. With a 50% pay increase, Judge Robert Timlin would be able to collect a federal pension of at least $261,000 and a California pension of $150,000. Therefore, when Judge Robert Timlin retires from the federal bench his annual pensions will likely total at least $410,000.
Now, I’ve got a lot of attorney friends in Ohio, Florida, Michigan and here in California who are likely asking themselves, how in the hell do I get in on this gravy train? Well boys and girls, there’s several things ya gotta be willing to do, a few of which are listed below.
If ya are willing to follow these simple rules, ya just might be able to pig-out at the public trough just like the Honorable Judge Robert Timlin. Would that like be cool or what? Good luck boys and girls!
