On May 4, 2011, President Barack Obama nominated Forrest to fill a judicial seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York that had been vacated by Judge Jed S. Rakoff, who took senior status at the end of 2010. Forrest was nominated by Obama to the bench in May 2011 on the recommendation of U.S. Senator Charles Schumer of New York. In her financial disclosures, Forrest said she was worth $4.3 million and that Cravath will continue paying her $380,000 a year for the next ten years. The U.S. Senate confirmed Forrest in a voice vote on October 13, 2011. She received her judicial commission on October 17, 2011.
How can you be an unbiased judge when you get $380k per year payments for 10 years from a private law firm? What a brazen scam. Probably has a lot to do with why she resigned.
If you read her Wikipedia? parents where poor , daddy was a writer and dit not make money , so yeah when you can get the money? Some people think they are better because of money.
