Emil Bove's nomination to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals was advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee with all Democrats walking out in protest. Bove, a former personal attorney for Trump, has a controversial history tied to aggressive legal actions by the Justice Department. His nomination faces significant opposition from 900 former DOJ lawyers and over 75 retired judges, citing concerns over his loyalty to Trump. Allegations were raised against Bove suggesting he encouraged government lawyers to disobey court orders, yet the Senate committee moves forward with the nomination.
Bove's nomination to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals now moves to the full Senate. Bove is tied to some of the most aggressive legal moves by the Justice Department this year.
More than 75 retired state and federal court judges fear Bove's intense loyalty to the president would carry over onto the bench.
The rule of law is really only as strong as the institutions that enforce it and then interpret it...
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley is charging full steam ahead on the nomination, despite requests from Democrats to investigate claims made against Bove.
