Supreme Court Justices Make Money on Side

<snip>
The new reports are for 2003 and showed at least five of the nine justices are millionaires: Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sandra Day O'Connor, David H. Souter and John Paul Stevens.

O'Connor also was reimbursed for 18 trips, to such locations as Serbia-Montenegro and Bahrain - a number topped only by Scalia's 20.

Part of Scalia's travel stemmed from teaching jobs that earned him an extra $23,000, in spots like Nice, France and Oxford, Miss. He also participated in ``Seminars in Christian Leadership'' at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., and spoke in Philadelphia to the Urban Family Council, a group founded by an opponent of same-sex marriages.

Steven Lubet, an ethics expert at Northwestern University, said more detailed information should be required of all judges, including the nine justices.
