The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
Senator Marsha Blackburn led questioning of a federal appeals court nominee from Nashville during a nomination hearing last Thursday.
Karla Campbell, a plaintiffs’ lawyer at Nashville law firm Stranch, Jennings, and Garth, was nominated by President Joe Biden to fill a soon-to-be open seat in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Blackburn has expressed strong opposition to Campbell’s nomination, stating that the White House “shut Senator (Bill) Hagerty and I out of the process.” Biden’s staff claims that they offered the senators several opportunities to interview Campbell.
Throughout the hearing, Campbell was questioned about her association with several immigrant and workers’ rights organizations, specifically the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition and Workers’ Dignity.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) noted that Workers’ Dignity was known to have called for the disbanding of “oppressive systems like the police and the military.”
Campbell claims that her work with the groups was years ago and was not in a legal role. She said she was associated with Workers’ Dignity in 2010 but had not been in over 10 years. When asked why her online legal profile still listed the organization as a current affiliation, Campbell said that was a mistake.
When asked about her alleged participation in preparing a document for TIRRC that included recommendations for Nashville’s refusal to assist in the deportation of illegal aliens, Campbell denied knowing anything about that document. It was said that TIRRC thanked her for helping to create it.
Campbell was also questioned regarding a campaign donation made to former Democratic Tennessee State House candidate Odessa Kelly. Kelly is known for her outlandish social media posts, which Campbell claimed to have no knowledge of.
Campbell is President Biden’s fifth person he has appointed to the 6th Circuit Court. U.S. Attorney Kevin Ritz of the Western Division of Tennessee is currently waiting to be confirmed by the Senate to replace Judge Julia Smith Gibbons.

Despite all the crimes that Marsha Blackburn has committed against Tennesseans, she is lucky she does not need any bodyguards and a bullet-proof vest. And yet she is afraid to have town-hall meetings with her angry constituents.
What crimes has Marsha Blackburn committed against Tennesseans? I would truly like to know.
She has stirred racial hate, promoted bullying and abusing of LGBT children, has made death threats to legislators back in 2000 who advocated a state income tax, supports female pimps like Gabrielle Hanson who did time in prison for grooming girls for heterosexual male-on-female prostitution, supported Holocaust-deniers like the Proud Boys and the Momz 4 Liberty. The list goes on. There is a special place in Hell for her and her fellow hench people. Oh, and I forgot: she also supports Israeli-committed war crimes against Palestinians that surpass any violence that Hamas committed this last fall.
Why don’t you go to Palestine and fight for your so called “cause”. Oct. 7th was an attack on Israel and that was the real genocide. You are nothing more than troll on a conservative website spewing your hatred of God’s people. When you do go to Palestine [which is doubtful] take the rest of your liberturd buddies with you and actually lay down your life for your “cause”. Instead of being a keyboard warrior and spewing the same talking points over and over.
In God we trust not government or man.
Have a blessed day.
William, like most leftist apologizers you forget the hideous policies of your side. Quick to condemn those you disagree with, your very statements are hate speech. I am not sure what racial hate you mean unless you do not believe that ALL LIVES MATTER!!! Making a stance against promoting LGBT in classes of kindergartners through middle school is not bullying or abusive, it is allowing children…let me repeat…CHILDREN time to decide what they really want. Kids that age mimic others and want thing they do NOT understand. But once they do understand most times make the correct decision for their lives. While you rail against Sen. Blackburn supporting Ms.Hanson, and I agree this was not a good idea, you leftist support the homosexual lifestyle, even promoting it to 5 year olds. Talk about hypocritical!!!! As you say the atrocious policies promoted by leftist go on and on and on. And before I forget, there are no war crimes against Palestinians. October 7, 2023 was Israel’s equivalent of our 9/11. Let me make clear, Gaza is an autonomous region, that is self governing, choosing a governing body SEPARATE from the Israeli government. In many ways it is treated as another country by Israel. GAZA voted for the terrorist group HAMAS to organize the region. This is why Israel tightly regulates those coming from Gaza. It is needed for the security of Israel. The unprovoked attack by HAMAS is proof that these security measures are a wise choice to make for the protection of the citizens of Israel. In light of the attacks, Israel has the right as a sovereign nation to protect itself from the aggression of another nation. Gaza is a sovereign nation in that it’s day to day activities, it’s laws, and stockpiling of weapons is not under the jurisdiction so the Israeli government. As such, by international law, Israel is within its right to defend itself. The fact that Hamas’ statements have been repeatedly proven false means nothing to liberals like you. Facts in general mean nothing to leftists like you. You consider using facts to be “unfair”. Why because those FACTS usually prove leftist policies are detrimental to this country’s health and well-being. Those FACTS usually prove that leftist policies are wrong and hurtful. Leftist need to remove their rose-colored glasses and look around them at reality. At the very least, leftist need to look at what stupid things their side is doing before they consider attacking what they think are the other side’s stupid ideas.
