A report indicated President Trump may appoint his former lawyer, Emil Bove, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. This has raised concerns among legal analysts about politicization in judicial appointments, especially given Bove's involvement in controversial actions like the recently ended corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Critics, including conservative commentators, fear this could lead to problematic nominations that favor loyalty over judicial integrity, with Bove viewed as potentially testing waters for future Trump-aligned Supreme Court nominees.
I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me, Scotten wrote to Bove.
Uh, oh. Very bad news for those of us hoping that Trump will continue first-term practice of outstanding appellate nominations.
