FILE--In this May 9, 2019, file photo, Kansas Supreme Court Justice Dan Biles asks a question during oral arguments in a court of appeals nomination disagreement in Topeka, Kan. A Kansas Supreme Court ruling Friday, written by Biles, will force the state Senate to vote to reject a nominee for a lower-court judgeship if senators want to keep him off the bench because of his political tweets. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Gov. Laura Kelly did not have the authority to withdraw her nomination of Labette County District Judge Jeffry Jack for the state Court of Appeals. Kelly dropped Jack's nomination after political posts on his Twitter feed in 2017 came to light. Kelly chose a second nominee, but Senate President Susan Wagle argued that the appointment went to Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)
