Washington, DC – Today the Senate voted 50-49 to confirm Emil Bove III to a lifetime judgeship on the Third Circuit, despite multiple whistleblower allegations that Bove misled the Judiciary Committee during his hearing and, in his role at the DOJ, suggested that the administration defy court orders.
Demand Justice Interim Executive Director Maggie Jo Buchanan released the following statement:
“Tonight’s vote represents some of the worst aspects of far too many elected to office in Washington–cowardice and political expediency over duty to constituents. The American people want and deserve judges who are independent and fair, not ones who have done nothing to hide their political loyalties. Bove, facing a wave of damning allegations that the overwhelming majority of Republican Senators refused to take seriously, has been confirmed for one reason only: obedience to Trump.
“Those who voted to confirm Bove to a lifetime seat on the federal bench should be ashamed. Their choice will not be forgotten.”
