Senate Confirms Emil Bove, Trump's ‘Enforcer,’ To A Lifetime Federal Judgeship

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/senate-confirms-emil-bove-trumps-010450219.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Tuesday confirmed Emil Bove to a lifetime federal judgeship, choosing to ignore credible allegations that Bove had told Justice Department attorneys to defy court orders and say “fuck you” to judges who ruled against them.

Bove was confirmed, 50-49. Every Democrat opposed him, along with two Republicans: Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine).

Bove, 44, will now serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, which has jurisdiction over cases in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and the Virgin Islands.

  • The 'whacks'.......such a dangerous circumstance, as 'the rule of law' becomes smaller. He'll be in line for the Supreme when Thomas goes bye-bye. The Heavens, help us.
    I can't/won't write here, what I would really like to write.
  • We are well and truly screwed.
  • So Ms. Collins ("he's learned his lesson" after the first impeachment) finally, finally gets it.
  • She's going to "get" a lot more before this is over... he's just begun. The poison that's being injected into America is going to remain in our bloodstream for generations.

    Some of this nasty poison will unfortunately be of the "blood and soil" type.
