The two U. S. Senators from Kansas both voted Monday night to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Barrett will replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in late September. It was a mostly Party Line decision 52 to 48, and the first time in 151 years that no member of the minority party voted to confirm the nominee. Kansas Senator Jerry Moran says Barrett’s character is exemplary and she has a deep understanding of the Constitution. He also called her the most impressive nominee he’d ever interviewed. Senator Pat Roberts says Barrett showed careful reasoning and strong personal integrity.
