[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2006, when he was appointed to the D.C. Circuit he reported debt between $60,000 and $200,000 base based on the balances of three credit cards and a loan.d on three credit card balances and a loan.

In 2016, he reported debt between $60,000 and $200,000 base based on the balances of three credit cards and a loan.d on three credit card balances and a loan.

In 2018, the White House reports the only debt he has is for his mortgage.

After carrying at least $60,000 in debt for a decade the debt is extinguished in 2017 or 2018?   There is probably a valid explanation, but I do wonder what it is.

There is reference to his wife’s $66k salary, but she has only held that position for one or two years.

There is no reference in the article to the 2017 financial disclosure so we don’t known when the debt was eliminated (2017 or 2018).  Maybe he stopped contributing to his TSP account starting in 2016 to pay down his debt.  I don’t think federal employees have to report gifts from family members, so perhaps he and his wife received gifts from their families.

A Supreme Court justice does not have to be a multi-millionaire, but the justice should be sufficiently financially stable that there is no question that the justice cannnot be swayed by promises of speaking fees or book royalties that a the result of books being purchased in bulk by people seeking influence.

You're clearly not part of a ticket group that gets gouged by the Nats whenever they make it to the post season.  Managing the tickets and fronting the money is a thankless task.

This guy chose to stay in public service when he easily could have been pulling down millions in big law and not seeing his family.

[b]Sotomayor and RBG have taken in all kinds of other money, and probably others, but you won't read about that.[/b][/quote]
Legally, by earning it in legal ways prior to their appointments? Or are you suggesting they’re on the Trump family plan of taking money wherever they can?[/quote]

By writing books and earning money speaking/ lecturing/ teaching at law schools. Both of which arevery above board ways to supplement income. [/quote]
