4. Sen. James Lankford

Sen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican who voted for Duncan and is a staunch defender of religious liberty, took to Twitter to respond to the critics of Duncan's appointment.

"I'm pleased that Kyle Duncan has been confirmed to the Circuit Court, but disappointed that most Democrats opposed him," Lankford wrote in a tweet. "Their objection sounded a lot like a religious test (again)."

Lankford stated that someone like Duncan who "defends the right to live out your faith" shouldn't be considered "controversial."
