I would presume that almost everyone qualified to be a federal judge to be among the wealthiest 10% - the median lawyer income is approximately 90-th percentile, and I would presume that the seniority and skills needed for such a position would disqualify most of the less experienced and/or weaker lawyers.
- DFHippie 5y agoIncome is not the same as wealth. They are correlated, but you're blurring lines. The wealthiest individuals accrue a negligible amount of their wealth from income. And the power law relationship between wealth and stock ownership doesn't end when you cross the 90th percentile either.
