SHIRIN ALI, Slate ; This May Be the Most Cynical Ploy to Win a Trump Supreme Court Appointment Yet
"Ever since Emil Bove came back into government following Donald Trump’s return to office, he’s found himself mired in controversy. As the deputy attorney general at the start of Trump’s term, Bove was accused of corruptly dismissing a high-profile criminal indictment over the objections of line prosecutors and a U.S. attorney. Around that time, he also allegedly told members of the Justice Department that they should tell the courts “fuck you” in the face of any attempts to stop the president’s unlawful deportations to third-party countries without due process. On Tuesday night, Bove, now a Trump-appointed judge on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, committed a new foul. He attended a Trump rally in Pennsylvania during which the president called Joe Biden a “son of a bitch” and said that Democrats are “bad people” and “sick people.” Within less than 24 hours, a complaint was filed against Bove, accusing him of “abject partisanship” that is unacceptable for a member of the judiciary."
