Reject Bove's politicized nomination for federal appeals court

Emil Bove's conduct while at the Department of Justice raises significant concerns about his ability to serve as an impartial federal judge. The allegations that he prioritized political interests over principles of equal justice and due process are deeply troubling. His dismissal of corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams due to purported concerns about the mayor's ability to govern and work with the administration on immigration goals suggests improper motives. Furthermore, the whistleblower report accusing Bove of stating an intention to defy court orders related to deportations casts doubt on his commitment to upholding the rule of law. While Bove has impressive legal credentials, his actions at the DOJ demonstrate a willingness to wield prosecutorial powers in service of the President's agenda rather than the impartial administration of justice expected of the federal judiciary. Confirming him to a lifetime appointment on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals risks further politicizing the federal bench and eroding public trust in an independent judiciary. I urge you to reject Bove's nomination and instead support candidates whose records demonstrate fidelity to the Constitution and the principles of equal justice under law.
