You don't think that it's not even worth nothing that someone racked up $200,000 in debt to buy baseball tickets?
Seriously, that's a pretty misleading depiction of the story. I myself was surprised by your claim so I went to the web, found the article and how it was divided up among many others and he was paid back and that the debt was thus temporary.
So basically, I read the article and no it's not really that noteworthy.
As an example using round numbers you can easily have 100k worth of season tickets split 10-ways so your share is 10k but then you only go to half the games and the others you unload on stub-hub etc. so your personal outlay is only 5k of the "big number".
I have several friends that are in family or friend groups where one person buys season tickets and then is reimbursed with their personal share being just a fraction of the total.

Yup. At work we always did it that way with our Rangers and Yankee season tickets.
Please Republicans wouldn't even consider confirmation hearings when Obama was President.
Re-read my post if you think I was taking the republicans side in this I wasn't. They're getting fleeced too by fund-raising campaigns telling the far right that if they send in money then this WILL end Roe vs. Wade. (They sent the same mailers around when Roberts was in office.)
I live in KS so I got "this will end abortion isn't that wonderful" mass-mailer despite not being a registered anything. My wife (registered dem) got the "this will end abortion and it will be horrible" mass mailers.
Anyone here gotten hit up for money yet to fight the nomination?
As for what Obama nominee, they stalled because they could. It was of course a cheap political tactic which wouldn't have worked if Hillary and her supporters hadn't been so self assured of their "easy win".
I would prefer some sort of hard timeline for the confirmation process so these things can't be done.

Well, actually there was a range on the debt, so on average likely it was $100k or so. Still, thats a lot of money for baseball tickets.
His total income was $300k. He has a mortgage for $865k, sends his kids to private school. That, the taxes and mortgage plus property insurance adds up to about $100k in payments a year. Include a couple of car payments, utilities, etc and this guy is in debt up to his eyeballs.
So how did he pay his credit card debt and loans off in one year?
For those who can't see the embedded Twitter post, it reads as follows:
What's got you so bent out of shape - the fact that they called him a frat boy? I did a little research but was unable to verify whether Kavanough belonged to a frat at Yale. But the typical use of "frat boy" would be to describe someone from a wealthy family, who lives a sheltered life, enjoys perks associated with family connections and can't relate to the average student. No idea whether that is fairly applied to Mr Kavanough.
When you (as POTUS does) attack someone after being attacked, I don't have a problem with it. That's the name of the game in politics. But Judge Kavanaugh is not a politician and is not out there attacking anyone. This unprovoked attack against him is completely unhinged and ridiculous.
Let's kill this apologist excuse for Trump's crude behavior once and for all.
Trump attacks when he has NOT been attacked. He attacks anyone and everyone who does something of which he does not approve or who he dislikes.
His idiotic nicknames for everyone he attacks are from the fifth grade. 'Frat Boy' is hardly as insulting as some of the rude things he has called others.

Problem is the left thinks everything is rude
Latest is its “rude” to ask NATO allies like Germany to pay what they agreed to pay..

It's like these cultists think we're living in the 18th century, where we don't have ample evidence of Trump routinely name calling and ridiculing and insulting everyone who doesn't walk in lockstep with him. YouTube is filled with such instances.
They cannot whitewash Trump's history, no matter how hard they try. The evidence to the contrary is all too easily accessible for everyone to know this attempt at revisionist history is a pack of lies.
