Paul v. Kavanaugh?

All eyes have been on two pro-choice Republicans as potential roadblocks to the Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. But after the president announced the D.C. appellate judge as his nominee on Monday, a third, perhaps expected name cropped up: Kentucky senator Rand Paul.

The potential issue is Kavanaugh’s stance on surveillance. Paul’s fellow privacy-minded colleague on the House side, Justin Amash, strongly condemned the judge’s record on the issue Monday night and warned that Kavanaugh “is not another Gorsuch.”
