US Supreme Court refuses to hear Clinton pay row case
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100607/pl_afp/usjusticecourtdiplomacy

The conservative pressure group Judicial Watch argued to the Supreme Court that under this clause, Clinton was not eligible to take up the post of secretary of state.

Judicial Watch is as looney as they come.On the same level as the birthers and tea-baggers.

If this is correct and it turns out that Ms. Clinton did not take the position at the previous salary while all other similar apppointees had - I'd say that she'd been guilty of an ethical breach - but as these things go this issue is so minor that it's making a tempest in a teapot.

Congress cut the pay of SOS putting it back to it's previous level almost two years ago. I'm not surprised SCOTUS refused to hear the case.

These are the rt.wing loons who ruled that corporations (ficticious people)have many of the same rights as real people.
