MANHATTAN, KAN. – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) issued the following statement about President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court:

“I am opposed to President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee and this administration’s attempt to put another liberal judge on the Supreme Court. As I have said since the vacancy was created, I believe I have a duty to ask tough questions and demand answers. I am certain a thorough investigation would expose Judge Garland’s record and judicial philosophy, and disqualify him in the eyes of Kansans and Americans.”
