President Joe Biden intends to nominate an anti-abortion Republican lawyer to a federal judgeship, two Kentucky Democrats informed of the decision say.
The prospective nominee, conservative lawyer Chad Meredith, would serve in a lifetime appointment to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.
Merediths prospective appointment was first reported by The Courier-Journal.
Kentucky Democrats expressed outrage about Merediths expected nomination to the court before it was clear that a vacancy would emerge on the bench. But on Friday, US District Court Judge Karen K. Caldwell of the Eastern District of Kentucky was added to a public list of future federal judicial vacancies, clearing a path for Meredith to potentially join the court.
The US Courts list indicates that Caldwell shared her decision late last month to move into senior status as a judge for the court. By taking senior status, US Courts states, judges may choose to handle a reduced caseload; regardless of that caseload, the status creates a vacancy on the court they serve on.
Bidens prospective nomination comes just as the President is pledging to use everything within his power to fight for abortion rights in the wake of last weeks US Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. With the federal constitutional right to an abortion eliminated, states will have to determine abortion rights unless Congress acts.
Meredith previously worked as then-Kentucky Republican Gov. Matt Bevins deputy counsel, defending a state law that requires doctors performing abortions to first perform an ultrasound and describe the image on the monitor to the patient.

Biden has never been for the people. It's been obvious forever. He was literally a 'Not Trump' candidate.

We're not being hypocritical. We just outright don't want right wing people to have any governmental power at all in this country. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Please dont listen to this. I fully expect it to get worse before it gets better but just giving up is not an option.

Those on the right have been at this for literally decades before we got to this point. How can anyone expect to counter them if you dont have at least the same level of dedication?

Also in the article:
Yarmuth told The Courier-Journal he believed Merediths prospective nomination is part of some larger deal on judicial nominations between the President and Mitch McConnell namely, to get the Senate minority leader to agree to no longer hold up Bidens future federal nominations.

But also:
A spokesperson for Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth of Kentucky told CNN that the congressman was informed of the White Houses intent to nominate Meredith by White House staff. And Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear said in a news conference on Thursday that his team was informed about Bidens intention to nominate Meredith late last week.

My understanding right now is it has not been submitted, which I hope at the very least means its on pause, Beshear said.

He doesn't have the power to do that now. And if they get back in power he will go back to holding it up. HE was able to change teh ecoruse of the country by stopping almost EVERYONE Obama wanted .

You are focusing your anger on the wrong person. The red wave will fix the country. Just be patient and soon Biden will be gone. Just allow time to fix everything. It won't happen in one day
I acknowledge your personhood and hope you find someone within the next few days in real life who can have a meaningful conversation with you and make you feel validated. Be strong, little buddy.

I bet Obama regrets picking him as a running mate. Literally the only reason he was the presidential nominee is because he was Obama's VP.

Biden's entire career is a longing for a pat on the back from the GOP, to be seen as one of their own.

It's not the money, it's his genuine admiration of the Republican Party and the simple handshakes from billionaire pharma/oil barons at holiday parties.

Im not talking about that, the article clearly states early on a lifetime term for this possible judge, and its just ridiculous that we still do this.

Exactly. Biden was very open with what he's about and where his priorities lie. Probably why even Obama wouldn't endorse his ass until the 11th hour of that race.

Biden trying to be the modern day Neville Chamberlain, and we all know how good a job he did. These old, deluded, demented establishment Democrats are also a significant reason why fascism will take over America. Biden's dumbass still trusts Mitch after witnessing first hand McConnell's various fuck-ery and evil during Obama's administration and on.

But that's why people wanted him. "He can negotiate and work with Republicans".
