Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh amassed tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt in part by purchasing baseball tickets to Washington Nationals games, according to a Washington Post review of Kavanaugh’s financial disclosures and information provided by the White House.
Kavanaugh has reported having up to $200,000 in credit card debt during the past 10 years, according to the Post's report. In 2006 — the year he was confirmed as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — he reported having between $60,000 to $200,000 in debt.

Besides, no one is touting him as rich, so seeing proof that he has bills like the rest of us is perfectly fine with me.
They may find out a porn star bedded him.
Don’t underestimate liberals; they’re totally vicious and will trash Kavanaugh with everything they’ve got in their arsenal.
By the time they’re through, no one is gonna vote for the guy.
You just wait and watch.
Well unless he filed bankruptcy or had his home foreclosed I don’t get why this is relevant. There are moral issues attached to bothe of these types events SOMETIMES. Sheesh what he heck is their problem
“If you’re a senior Federal judge and have only a few thousand in savings, perhaps you should consider putting some money in the bank every month.”
I agree with you overall ... I’m a saver. However, these judges get pretty good pensions. That probably explains the behavior. Quite frankly, if I was looking at a solid pension, I’d probably spend a little more and enjoy life now vs. waiting until retirement.
I use my CC for everything. I pay it off at the end of the month though (no exceptions). There are many perks/discounts/points/cash back offers when you do this, but they’re all for naught if you don’t pay the balance off on time every time! :-).
If there was a discount for using cash these days, I’d certainly go that route (there are some cases, but they’re few and far in between these days) ... this is the next best thing.
I'll never be vetted for the SCOTUS but I've charged $0.00 for the past 35 years.
Newsworthy...last cash customer standing.
Here’s the source story:
He and his wife make about 300k a year and their home is worth well over a million. The debt is in a range of 60k to 200k. It’s not a big deal.
That’s what I thought ...$20K per year. And if he made a monthly payment of $1,666.00 ahead of closing date, he save money on interest?
The first shot in the politics of personal destruction.
And here I’d suggested that he maybe owned a boat, or as one fellow put it a hole in the water into which money is thrown?
So I’m guessing this means he’ll recuse himself from cases involving the Nationals or local home repair outfits?
That’s exactly what I do. Do it the right way, and you can fly internationally in business or first class a couple of times a year
For the Nationals?
Shows bad judgement.
Now the Yankees, it’s worth it.
This is an invasion of privacy. I don’t care or want to know this stuff.
OMG OMG OMG THIS IS HORRIBLE..the MAN LIKES BASEBALL..quick someone get me a rope and a really tall tree/sarc
I hear his net worth may be under or around 100k. How long has he been around DC and didn’t cash in like the rest of the Deep Staters? An honest guy.
Yep. $1,666.66/month, over ten years. But put that way, it doesn’t have any shock value. Especially if he paid it back, on time. BUT $200,000 IN DEBT!! (Over 10 years)......the Lefty Low Info Voters will be VERY UPSET!!
And his wife bought food. Lots of it!
OMG OMG OMG
