“Our citizens of Kansas have watched the Senate's action, or rather inaction, on the President's nominees. I would like to quote from the Wichita Eagle, one of our fine newspapers in Kansas which simply editorialized: The party that does not control the White House is trying to control the ideological makeup of the federal courts, by misusing the Senate's advice-and-consent function to stall votes on the president's judicial nominees. The Topeka Capital Journal also observed: The federal judiciary is heading to a train wreck. I suspect by the time we get to the end of this and these kind of delay tactics, people will crawl out of train wrecks faster than we get this solved. I hope that is not the case. It is not just the local newspapers that are expressing their views on these issues. Many constituents have written and called my office. They are expressing their frustration on the Senate's treatment of this process. This is a time that the process of the Senate, normally not a very high profile issue, has become a high profile issue.”
