debt and appointment

[Richard D. Friedman]

I would have guessed that JFK paid that debt off by naming White Deputy AG.

I don't think there have been a lot of indebtedness appointments to 
the Supreme Court.  Earl Warren presumably was one.  Joseph Robinson 
would have been another, had he lived and Court-packing succeeded in 
1937.  There have probably been others, but I don't think it's that common.
