State urged to block Kansas Supreme Court seat fill
Four Kansas residents asked federal judge Monti Belot to halt filling a vacancy on the Kansas Supreme Court over claims the nominating commission dominated by lawyers violates voters rights. Advocates warned an injunction would freeze nominations. defenders said such action would cause more harm than good and that the case may be unlikely to succeed. The process, in use since 1958, n made up of five attorney members and four non attorneys, selects finalists for the governor to appoint. The suit seeks to stop further vacancies until constitutional questions are resolved. Belot planned a ruling next week, noting the case could be appealed regardless of outcome.
