WASHINGTON – Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, issued the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Rebecca Taibleson to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Rebecca Taibleson’s confirmation is a major victory for President Trump’s historic judicial legacy and for all Americans who believe judges should interpret the law as written despite political pressure. President Trump continues to deliver on his promise to confirm bold and fearless judges who will defend the Constitution and uphold the rule of law on the bench.

“Taibleson is exceptionally qualified – a former clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a longtime federal prosecutor, and a veteran of President Trump’s Solicitor General’s Office. She proved throughout her career that she will apply the law faithfully, protect public safety, and defend our constitutional freedoms without fear or favor.

“This confirmation also highlights the continued excellence of President Trump’s judicial team – Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and White House Counsel Dave Warrington – and the strong leadership of Senate Republican Leader John Thune and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley. Together, they’ve built the most consequential judicial record in modern history.

“Rebecca Taibleson embodies the courage, intellect, and integrity Americans expect from their judges. The Article III Project proudly supports her confirmation and congratulates her on this well-earned confirmation to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals,” said Davis.

The Article III Project (A3P) was founded by veteran GOP operative and attorney Mike Davis, who, after helping win the Senate confirmation battles of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, developed the reputation as a “take-no-prisoners conservative eager to challenge the left with hardball tactics,” as reported in The New York Times.‍‍

‍A3P defends constitutionalist judges, punches back on radical assaults on judicial independence (like court-packing) and opposes judicial and other nominees who are outside of the mainstream. Davis previously served as Chief Counsel for Nominations to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary and led the Senate confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and a record number of circuit court judges.
