Oh NO!


This guy has more money than me! (he obviously doesn't NEED THAT MUCH!)

How can I possibly support such a scoundrel?!!

I'll take the Swiftian view and modestly suggest eating the rich.

John Roberts is a $6 million man...

And this is bad how? I would think that having plenty of money would stop any worries of his taking bribes.

At least he earned it instead of living off rich aunts and marrying two heiresses like JF'nK.

Am I the only one who finds this compulsion that reporters seem to have with digging into stuff that is none of their business and then publishing it kind of creepy?

I know they have the right to do it. The question is should they?

You read it, didn't you?

As much as you and I may publicly think that it's not appropriate, we are on this thread. And people buy scandal rags.

If it's a product that sells, it's a product that will be sold.

Well, that might explain why his kids are adopted...

If you do the math..it means that Roberts has been preparing for this for a decade..He made good money, as did his wife..though she's part-time at her firm...Figuring they wre in a 40% tax bracket..it means they've saved most everything they've earned after taxes for a decade....because he knew he'd be taking a biu pay cut for the rest of his life..also..his house has at least double in value since they bought it..

Actually, Supreme Court justices often make a lot of money writing books. As far as I know, every justice in recent history has been rather wealthy.

It's an AP story, not NewsMax's.

Don't you know that when it comes to destroying a Republican nominee, nothing is off limits? They dug through Clarence Thomas' garbage cans and splashed his movie rental habits all over the front pages. When this is done to conservatives, it's "good journalism."

My guess is the media will dig into this Robert Trent Jones Golf Club with a vengeance now, dissecting the private lives of all current and past members, following every dime of money that has passed through it with the kind of zeal seen by prosecutors looking into Mob money laundering, and implying that it has a racist past even if there is no evidence of this and saying that this proves Roberts is a racist.

I did read it because of the head line.

I was thinking more along the lines of Steve Austin. If it had been titled "John Roberts Personal Finances" I likely would have passed it by.

If it's a product that sells, it's a product that will be sold.

Not disputing that and gossip is as old as language. I just find it troubling and rather creepy that someone would want to do it. Maybe I am not expressing it properly. Maybe I am just suffering from a over load of TMI.

Roberts listed a home mortgage of $790,000, at a 30-year fixed rate of 5.625 percent.
It's a good thing he already owns his house. $6 million doesn't go far in the Washington DC Housing Market!
