(WASHINGTON, D.C.  – WINA)   A vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court will probably be filled on Monday, and Virginia’s two Senators will be no votes.  Senators Mark Warner (D- Alexandria) and Tim Kaine (D – Richmond) oppose President Trump’s choice of Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Both Warner and Kaine voted against Trump’s selections of Neil Gorsuch in 2017, and Brett Kavanugh the following year.  The last time a Virginia Democratic Senator voted for a GOP President’s choice was 29 years ago.

Chuck Robb joined Republican Senator John Warner when the Senate voted for Clarence Thomas in October 1991.
