Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) “sounded cool on Monday to the prospects of confirming Chad Meredith — the GOP lawyer who’s reportedly under consideration to join the federal bench in Kentucky,” Politico reports.
“Durbin described the potential nomination as challenging for Democrats, given Meredith’s previous work defending abortion restrictions.”
Said Durbin: “Imagine how controversial it would be within the Democratic caucus.”
