President Trump has nominated Emil Bove for a lifetime seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Bove is an attorney with the Justice Department (DOJ) and previously served as Trump’s personal lawyer.
The Core Problem: According to a recent whistleblower statement, Bove made statements that he was willing to ignore court orders in order to carry out Trump’s deportation plans.
Why should these claims disqualify a judge? Someone demonstrating such a flippant disregard for the rule of law should not be an attorney, let alone a sitting judge.
The Society for the Rule of Law, a conservative legal group that has never opposed a judicial nominee before, strongly opposes Bove's confirmation. They assert Bove’s service at the DOJ demonstrated a willingness to "undermine the integrity and capabilities of federal law enforcement to satisfy any impulse of the president," which they call "unthinkable in a federal judge". We agree.
