When a civil judgment exceeds one’s ability to pay, one simply declares bankruptcy and moves on with one’s life. I don’t see why he won’t be able to do precisely that.

McLeaker's website says he's served nine terms in the House.Today,Congresscritters make something like $150K/yr and they've always been well paid.And it seems highly unlikely that his House salary is his only income.Speeches....books...who knows what else he might have been making.With all this income for all those years I can't imagine him not owning some real estate...hell,I make much less than him and *I* own real estate.

Also,I don't think you can discharge fines/judgments levied by courts through bankruptcy.

Here is Baghdad Jim’s financial report. I wonder if he’s listed any of the Oil for Food bribes...
