Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), a close friend of the late senator, publicly urged Vicki Kennedy’s appointment to the post, at least on an interim basis.

“I think Vicki ought to be considered,” Hatch said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”  “She’s a very brilliant lawyer.  She’s a very solid individual.  She certainly made a difference in Ted’s life, let me tell you.  And I have nothing but great respect for her.”

Close friend Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) backed the idea.
