💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump nominated Chad Meredith for a federal judgeship in Kentucky, a move that might be opposed by Sen. Rand Paul, who blocked a similar nomination by former President Joe Biden three years ago due to Meredith's support for anti-abortion laws. Mitch McConnell supports the nomination, praising Meredith's commitment to the rule of law. Paul's potential opposition hinges on a Senate tradition known as the "blue slip" rule.
