                          Judicial Nominations

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the Senate confirmed one of President 
Trump's well-qualified nominees to the Federal bench and advanced the 
nomination of another.
  That is what we will do today. With Allison Rushing's nomination 
confirmed, we will vote later today on the nomination of Chad Readler 
and then turn to consideration of Eric Murphy to join him on the Sixth 
Circuit Court of Appeals.
  Mr. Murphy is a graduate of Miami University and the University of 
Chicago Law School and now serves as the State solicitor of Ohio. He 
has held two prestigious clerkships on our Federal courts, including 
for Justice Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
  So I hope our colleagues will join me in advancing another wise 
choice for our Nation's judiciary.
