This may be a little strange; at least it is to me. Apparently, President Trump's pick for the Supreme Court………….Kavanaugh Ran Up Huge Credit-Card Debt From Baseball Tickets(article in the New Yorker).
On Wednesday the White House revealed that Kavanaugh is actually so painfully “all American” that he racked up a large amount of credit-card debt due to his love of baseball. The Post reported that over the past decade, Kavanaugh incurred tens of thousands in credit-card debt, according to financial disclosures, and at times his reported liabilities might have exceeded his assets.
In 2016, Kavanaugh reported having between $60,000 and $200,000 in debt accrued over three credit cards and a loan. Each credit card held between $15,000 and $50,000 in debt, and a Thrift Savings Plan loan was between $15,000 and $50,000.
But there’s no need to worry about Kavanaugh’s spending habits, because that debt of up to $200,000 was suddenly paid off, or fell below reporting requirements, last year. Shah said Kavanaugh’s friends reimbursed him, and he’s no longer in charge of purchasing the tickets.

I don't know about you, but that sounds plain stupid to me. He may very well know the Law better than anybody, but where the Hell is the judgment??!! Possibility of compromise?? Maybe. I'm secretly hoping he doesn't get approved. Sorry POTUS, I agree with most of what you say and do, but this pick isn't your best.
