Um, Masterson supported both. voice-verified

And I think the question was like, are you are you going to continue to try to put constitutional amendments on the ballots that deal with this? voice-verified

Masterson's response was that this year's amendment had nothing to do with abortion, which is a curious thing. voice-verified

For those who don't know, this was an amendment about voice-verified

The judicial selection process. voice-verified

Right now there's like a you have to apply to a panel, they vet your credentials, they give three nominees to the governor, and she picks somebody. voice-verified

Uh, they wanted to change that to just make it direct elections, partisan elections, presumably, to vote on who you think the Supreme Court justices should be. voice-verified

And the reason they did this was voice-verified

Primarily, I think, because of abortion rights. voice-verified

They want to overturn that decision. voice-verified

Um, they made no uh they made it well known that that was what it was about during the debate. voice-verified

There are other issues too. voice-verified

They they don't like school finance rulings or some other rulings out there they don't like. voice-verified

And so it was disadvantaged. voice-verified

Uh, but then he went a step further and said, actually, this is an 80-20 issue in Kansas and 80% of Kansans are opposed to abortion rights. voice-verified

Uh voice-verified

You know, that resulted in that resulted in uh people chanting liar, liar at him. voice-verified

Lots of booing. voice-verified

Uh, you know, Cindy Holster pointed out the math doesn't quite add up when both of these amendments failed on a sixty forty vote. voice-verified
