LaPolitics: Sen. Kennedy may have a significant say in 5th Circuit appointment

Sen. John Kennedy is expected to influence the nomination for an open seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Potential candidates include Louisiana Solicitor General J. Benjamin Aguiñaga, Anna St. John, and James Baehr. Kennedy, whose position on the Judiciary Committee allows him to block nominees, previously opposed unqualified judicial picks during Trump's first term.
