[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the thing that anyone with a brain knows: Court of Appeals judges and SCOTUS justice make decisions that affect millions and can cost companies billions.  You do not want a judge who could be bought. And being that far underwater, negative balance sheet and unsustainable debt levels makes it more likely someone can be bought.  It’s why you can’t get a security clearance with that balance sheet.

He also had no means of paying all that debt off at once. And the WH does not say inheritance or other legal windfall. They say repaid for baseball tickets. Really?

And no— 200k in credit card debt with a HHI is not normal. Educational debt?  Maybe. But not mid 50s and not credit cards.

Because no bank would give a UMC DMV person that much unsecured debt, with that HHI. His balance sheet shows he was on the verge of Chapter 11 (chapter 7 is for the Poors). [/quote]

Tell me what law Karavanaugh broke by paying down his debt.  He would lose his security clearance if he is unable to, or refuse to, pay down his just obligations.  Never heard of someone losing security clearance by following the law.  [/quote]

Our standards for a Supreme Court justice are higher than "it's not illegal".  They're supposed to be the best, wisest members of our country.  They're not supposed to be just like us, one paycheck away from disaster.  [/quote]

I think what you mean is the Democrats' standard for a Republican SCOTUS nominee that's going to cement Trump's legacy for the next 30-40 years is that he or she must be a superman or superwoman.  He can't be just like us, have a wife, two kids, a mortgage, cc debt...  As someone already pointed out, the next issue that's gonna sink Karavanaugh's nomination is that he refused to rewind the borrowed VHS tape before returning.  Fake issue.  [/quote]

Obviously this won't risk his nomination.  But did Kennedy have 5-6 figure credit card debt through a large part of his judicial career?  Of course he didn't.

If you found out this information about your BIL, would it affect your opinion of him in any way?  Yes, it would.  [/quote]
