Wouldn’t it be a kick if his FICO score got him booted, while Dotard gets booted on a RICO??

Something smells foul in the judge’s financial line up.

I remember when we used to CARE about stuff like this because it made the nominee more vulnerable to bribery and blackmail. Ahhhh…the good ol’ days.

Do these financial disclosures have to include all the hidden off-shore accounts he likely has?

I wonder how many of his “friends” had cases on his docket at the time.

Well those were the days my friend,
we thought they’d never end,
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Bronx native and Yankees fan would show up at games and mingle with the regular fans. No corporate package for her.
She’d even sit in the Aaron Judge section aka the “Aaron Judges chambers”

In re: the reported paucity of his assets, I’m wondering if there’s a gambling problem.

Since he’s got the Trump shield (and by extension, all Republicans like Jim Jordan), he can now pass the shooting someone on Fifth Avenue test.

Gambling was my first thought too. Check the tax returns for a W-2G.

How many graduates of Yale College and Yale Law are worth $65k 30 years later? Over a period when real estate and stock values have gone up 10x, 20x? There is a suggestion here of laughable financial incompetence and mismanagement.

My father in law held a pretty high position in the federal govt. He managed his finances perfectly well on a civil service salary and sent three children to college at the same time with no financial aid (college was cheaper then, but still). How did he manage that? He was frugal and he never thought that being a government employee was a way to get rich. Everyone keeps talking about how smart Kavanaugh is. I don’t think a man who gets seriously in debt buying baseball tickets is very smart in a normal sensible way. And just who are those “friends” who bailed him out?

At least he’s a baseball fan
I was thinking offshore accounts, foreign investments, etc. Then again I live 90 miles from Las Vegas and would just mail one of the casinos a check if I felt the urge to gamble, saves me gas and time.

Yep. I’m fact, if I were promoting his candidacy I would love to have the focus be on this stuff. Humanizes him (i don’t suggest we should dehumanize him, just that he is likely a normal guys and a good husband and father so any focus on that will be a win for Federalist handlers) and takes focus away from opinions and likely impact on the court.
We don’t need a judge with the mentality and judgement of a teenager. He is spending more than he makes on Baseball tickets, or so they say. What if it is all a cover for Oxicontion? Is he just going to sit there and sign opinions as needed by the ratwing and prepared by his unvetted clerks?

With ticket buys in packages of this scale he might have to recuse himself if the baseball anti trust exemption came before the court again.

Now throw in that his debts were suddenly paid off just in time to avoid the disclosures required for this nomination, and one starts to wonder about who and what is involved in his finances. Baseball tickets my shiny metal ass.
