Arizona’s Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally split this week over a divisive judicial nomination.

The Senate voted 51-41 Thursday to confirm Steven Menashi to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Menashi’s confirmation was supported by McSally, R-Ariz., and all other Republicans in attendance except for Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Sinema, D-Ariz., and her fellow Democrats opposed his confirmation.
