白宫一名律师获提名在田纳西州出任联邦法官，在共和党参议员马莎·布莱克本（Marsha Blackburn）改变此前未加解释便阻挠唐纳德·特朗普总统在其家乡州填补空缺的决定后，该提名似乎将顺利推进。
Republican US Senator Blackburn reverses course on blocking Trump judicial nominee A White House lawyer's nomination to serve as a federal judge in Tennessee appears set to move forward after Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn reversed course on her unexplained decision to block President Donald Trump from filling a seat in her home state.

该提名人塞缪尔·阿德基森（Samuel Adkisson）现任白宫法律顾问办公室副法律顾问，上个月因布莱克本拒绝表示支持，而无法出席参议院司法委员会的听证会。
U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn attends a press conference at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., U.S., March 18, 2026. A White House lawyer's nomination to serve as a federal judge in Tennessee appears set to move forward after Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn reversed course on her unexplained decision to block President Donald Trump from filling a seat in her home state.
布莱克本的一名发言人周三表示，她现已交回一份所谓的“蓝单”以支持阿德基森。参议员必须向参议院司法委员会交回蓝单，本州的联邦地区法官提名人才能获得审议。
The nominee, Samuel Adkisson, who serves in the White House Counsel's Office as an associate counsel, had been prevented from appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a hearing last month after Blackburn withheld her support . But a spokesperson for Blackburn on Wednesday said she has now returned a so-called blue slip backing Adkisson.
发言人说：“她期待支持他的提名，并确保他在年底前获得通过。”
Senators must return blue slips to the Senate Judiciary Committee in order for district court judge nominees from their home states to be considered.
她的决定似乎为阿德基森下月出席由共和党主导的司法委员会听证会扫清了障碍，该委员会计划于11月10日和18日就待定司法提名人举行两场听证会。
"She looks forward to supporting his nomination and ensuring that he is confirmed before the end of the year," the spokesperson said. Her decision would appear to clear the way for Adkisson to appear before the Republican-led panel next month, when it plans to hold two hearings on pending judicial nominees on November 10 and 18.
共和党安排这两场听证会，是为了在本届国会结束前，尽可能让更多法官获得参议院全院通过，因为参议院民主党人正寄希望于在11月3日的中期选举中重夺参议院控制权。
Republicans scheduled the two hearings as part of a push to have as many judges confirmed by the full Senate as possible before the current Congress comes to an end, as Senate Democrats eye the possibility of reclaiming control of the chamber during the November 3 midterm elections .
布莱克本是该委员会的成员，她尚未说明为何在委员会此前9月30日的听证会之前拒绝为阿德基森返还蓝票，她的发言人周三也没有回应她为何改变立场。
Blackburn, who is a member of the committee, has not said why she declined to return a blue slip for Adkisson before the panel's prior September 30 hearing, and her spokesperson on Wednesday did not address why she had changed course.
特朗普于8月提名阿德基森担任美国田纳西州东区联邦地区法院法官，并援引他在“众多重要案件”中的工作，包括“特朗普诉斯劳特案”，美国最高法院在6月该案中表示，总统拥有解雇监管机构负责人的广泛权力。
Trump nominated Adkisson in August to become a judge on the US District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, citing his work on "numerous important cases," including Trump v. Slaughter , in which the US Supreme Court in June said the president had broad authority to fire regulatory agency heads.
田纳西州另一位共和党参议员比尔·哈格蒂公开支持阿德基森的提名，阿德基森此前还曾担任最高法院首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨的法官助理。
Tennessee's other Republican senator, Bill Hagerty, has publicly supported the nomination of Adkisson, who previously also served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
