WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate panel on Thursday advanced the nomination of Donald Trump's former personal lawyer to be a federal appeals court judge over protests from Democrats, who accuse him of using aggressive tactics to enforce the U.S. president's agenda at the Justice Department.
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously supported the nomination of Emil Bove for a lifetime appointment on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, sending the nomination to the full Senate. Bove currently serves as a top Justice Department official.
The hearing devolved into partisan rancor when the panel's Republican chairman, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, cut off debate on Bove's nomination. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey, a Democrat, shouted that Grassley was violating the committee's rules as Republicans cast their votes. The other Democrats walked out of the hearing.
"This is outrageous that you're not allowing senators to have their fair say," Booker told Grassley. "What are you afraid of?"
Grassley accused Booker of "obstruction."
Bove's nomination drew fierce opposition from Democrats and many former Justice Department employees, more than 900 of whom signed a letter accusing him of undermining the integrity of the department.
Bove's defenders have pointed to his background as a federal terrorism prosecutor in New York and his work countering drug cartels and other threats.
Trump named Bove to a senior post at the Justice Department after he helped defend Trump against three criminal cases brought against him during his years out of power.
Bove came under scrutiny over his role in firing career prosecutors who worked on cases arising from the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and his order to drop a federal corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams.
A former Justice Department lawyer last month accused Bove of suggesting the government may defy court...

We should once again thank Harry Reid for this...the gift that keeps on giving.
“This is outrageous that you’re not allowing senators to have their fair say,”
What “fair say” is that?
Spartacus throwing a tantrum again?
“If Democrats hate him this much, he must be goooood.”
They were really going nuts.
The funny thing is they already had their fair say...they time for saying ended, and the time for voting began.
Wait. You mean to tell me the Democrats objected to a Trump nominee? Vociferously? Did they check if he drank beer in college? Did they scour the yearbooks for possible unwanted love interests? Did he make any unsavory facebook posts or tweets? Was he in a fraternity that is accused of hazing? Does he have any tattoos?
I SEE BOOKER’S DIAPER NEEDS CHANGING ——AGAIN
Democrats don’t need any of that. All they need is a slutty paid shill willing to lie about being “molested” by drunk Bove 30 years ago in college. “believe women,” remember. Even if they can’t define a woman.
Awesome
The Rats had no problem ramming through the totally unqualified Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Bove will be an exceptional constitutional jurist, unlike that ghetto clown on the Supreme Court.
I would love to see Bove replace Coney Barrett or Dread Pirate Roberts. More winning please.
I wouldn’t say that. I’d be more comfortable with a real judicial record. He’s not quite Harriet Miers, but like ACB is a bit of a black box.
Their goal now is to just waste time...slow things down....scream and shout...hold their breath until they turn blue...
“Trump judicial nominee Bove clears Senate panel despite RAT temper tantrums”
A lot of republicans were absolutely furious with GWB for his nomination of Harriet Miers. She was not accepted by the GOP majority as qualified. As I recall, she was nominated in the month of October.
Bove does have a stronger background than she had.
A lot of republicans were absolutely furious with GWB for his nomination of Harriet Miers.“
So we got Roberts instead. Well that turned out bad that’s for sure.
Can someone post a picture of him when the weight machine beat the living daylights out of him?
Con Man Cory Booker mad a fool of himself again.
Alito, not Roberts.
Hmm l remember it as being Roberts but l could be wrong.
