How did the nominee for the Supreme Court spend $60,000 to $200,000 on Washington Nationals seats—and how did he pay it off so quickly?

During his confirmation hearings in 2005, Chief Justice John Roberts told senators that he saw his job as a judge as a matter of calling balls and strikes. Brett Kavanaugh, whom President Trump has nominated to sit alongside Roberts on the Supreme Court, has apparently spent a great deal of time and money on observing literal balls and strikes being thrown.

According to financial disclosures, Kavanaugh had between $60,000 and $200,000 in debt, spread across three credit cards and a loan. (Federal rules require individuals to disclose ranges of debts, rather than specific figures, so the actual numbers are unknown.) As The Washington Post first reported, the White House has an explanation for the debts: Kavanaugh spent big on tickets to see the Washington Nationals, a team he’s known to back.
=======================================
Fan is short for FANATIC but blowing this kind of money on tickets to watch a baseball team play seems a bit excessive.

I didn't know that a Federal judge makes a lot of money but the debt was gone by 2017.

As I understand, at his level the salary is in the six figure range. Not sure if his wife works.

It could simply have been that he bought the tickets at the request of friends, they paid him back for their tickets and he paid off the debt incurred to buy their tickets.

It is not uncommon for one person to purchase a block of (season?) tickets so that a group of friends can be seated together. My girlfriend's daughter just made that offer to us for UT football.
 
I'm a 'no body' & I buy tickets to sporting events all the time; I don't require some ****ing yahoo judge to do it for me between adjournments just so, he can make brownie points with the boy scout's parents .......... that isn't the real world bro' ...........
 
45 seems to hire those who have flaws in their character and makes them beholden to his largess and bidding.
