Roberts, Moran support move to appoint new Supreme Court justice

By the Associated Press:

Republican Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas supports replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court this year. Roberts tweeted Monday that the Senate has an obligation under the U.S. Constitution to fill high court vacancies.

Fellow Kansas Republican Senator Jerry Moran already has said he supports Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan to move head with consideration of a nominee from President Donald Trump.

Trump said Monday that he plans to nominate a replacement for the late liberal justice by the end of the week. Many Democrats have argued that the vacancy shouldn’t be filled until next year, after the presidential election and next inauguration.
