The Senate has confirmed former Trump lawyer Emil Bove to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals with a 50-49 vote on Tuesday night, despite strong opposition and serious concerns about his past conduct. Only two Republicans joined Democrats in voting against his lifetime appointment to the federal appellate bench.
According to MSNBC, Bove’s nomination faced unprecedented resistance from the legal community, with several dozen former judges and more than 900 former Justice Department lawyers urging senators to reject his confirmation. The opposition stemmed from various controversies surrounding his professional conduct and decisions during his time at the Justice Department.
