As a Justice Department official, Emil Bove “behaved like someone who still believed that the president was his client,” Brendan Ballou argues. “Trump and his allies might come to regret appointing such a transparent partisan to the federal bench.” https://theatln.tc/yRqNOiw8

Like the rest of the leadership class of the Cult of the Rump, they worship Trump and have nothing but contempt for anyone who defies Dear Leader. Trump and the law are indistinguishable for all these bootlickers. What he wants is the "law" they are there to enforce. Constitution? Who cares?

I have not seen a photo of him in which he doesn't look shady as fuck. Every glance drips malevolent dishonesty

Trump is his number one client. As Trump is number one for the many other lawyers who have been seduced or bullied into serving him.

Illegitimate appt. By a cult fascist group that did not win the 2024 election. It is being proven.

No, they won't. This will become common practice until they have total control (i.e. a complete fascist state).

“Might” is not strong enough to carry the Herculean burden you’ve placed on it with this headline.

Clueless. The ersatz King and his cult will NEVER regret, and will instead continue to celebrate, putting one of their operatives into a key position one step away from the SCOTUS.
