President Trump has rightly demanded accountability from Attorney General Pam Bondi for her “safety dance” tenure at the Department of Justice. That same spirit of accountability, however, must also apply to the president himself — and one of his judicial nominees simply will not do.
Rebecca Taibleson, nominated for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, donated to ActBlue, Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, and Kamala Harris’ 2015 Senate run. She is 42 years old. If confirmed, she could shape precedent against conservatives for decades. So why is he nominating her?
This pick occurred before Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In its aftermath, it looks even worse in the shadow of what appears to be more transgender-inspired mayhem. The American Family Association notes that Taibleson has supported groups that promote transgender ideology and was married by a rabbi known for the same.
At a time when transgender-inspired violence has spilled blood in the streets, why reward someone who aligns with its cultural enablers?
The problem runs deeper than one nomination. Taibleson’s record reflects a broader crisis: a culture that has embraced a godless void and passed it to the next generation. Charlie Kirk offered a different path: “Get married, have children, build a legacy, pass down your values, pursue the eternal, seek true joy.” Taibleson’s worldview instead represents the seedbed that celebrates the demonic and mocks the eternal.
We cannot keep lying to ourselves as conservatives, believing we can compromise on fundamental truths and still win on technical ground like law or medicine. COVID and the transgender movement exposed what happens when “experts” cut themselves off from God. They justify usurpations of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the name of juvenile feelings. Taibleson’s credentials suggest she would stand with them.
My thoughts for Charlie’s widow and children do not permit me to soften the point. Decades of half-measures and triangulation have only led to more disorder, more ruin. The slippery slope of compromise is undefeated — and at the bottom lies a pool of blood.
Look around. In the wake of Kirk’s assassination, have you once thought that the solution to America’s collapse rests with judges like Taibleson? The answer is obvious. Universities, media, and even parts of the legal profession are filled with elites who mock God and demand compliance. They do not offer solutions. They multiply the problem.
C.S. Lewis reminded us that when you realize you are far off course, the responsible action is to turn back and begin again in the right direction. “The man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.” Taibleson does not mark the right direction. She is the kind of figure who burns the map with a smile.
No more rewards for those who despise the truth. If we will not get serious now, with the blood of a martyr fresh on the ground, then we never will.
It’s the game presidents, all president” play when it comes to judicial nominees. They have to put one turd in the punchbowl to appease the other party. Do I like it, no. But it is not uncommon.
Fire the anyone involved in this dreadful pick
The great conservative judges placed in office by Obama are?
When a Democrat nominates a judge, that judge is reliably liberal forever.
But too many Republican-nominated judges drift left as time goes on. It’s very frustrating. If this article is correct, it looks like Taibleson already has a head start on that drift.
Soooo... nothing substantive, just two political donations, as if every corporation and every large donor in American doesn’t give to both sides. Quit whining and clutching your pearls, and find an ACTUAL reason to oppose a nominee. Otherwise, you’re just blathering over nothing. The President will choose whom he sees fit. Not you.
It’s the game presidents, all president” play “
Oh really, do you think Obongo or Biden appointed a single Conservative ? No.
Taibleson has supported groups that promote transgender ideology and was married by a rabbi known for the same.”
Substantial enough?
He’s been compromised. Ever since Butler.
What do her judicial rulings indicate? What is her approach to interpreting the law (original intent, evolving through precedent, the law is whatever the judge wants, etc.)?
Blaze? Isn’t it owned by someone who immersed his face in a ball of cheese balls to mock Trump?
Not really anymore given that the Dems vote against all of them anyway. And especially not for Circuit Court judges.
That being said, I've read a bunch of stuff about her that is very positive, so I don't know if the criticisms in this article are fair or not. Apparently, the flash point may be that her husband is the Democrat in the family.
Excellent point...
No wimmin aloud in the courts.
The Wikipedia page indicates he’s a smart guy.
Nine not voting to confirm, all Republicans [Cruz, Rubio, Graham, Murkowski,...]
AMEN!
My count of the Ds and I indicates Republicans controlled the Senate.
