Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced on Monday he will support the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court. The Kentucky Republican had previously expressed concerns about Kavanaugh’s stance on the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which bans “unreasonable” searches and seizures by government officials. “I disagree completely,” Paul said of Kavanaugh’s ruling earlier this month. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) still remain undecided on his nomination, but they have both signaled comfort with the judge. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), meanwhile, is meeting with Kavanaugh on Monday, and he too is expected to back the judge’s nomination.
