Protect the Judiciary—Block Emil Bove’s Confirmation

Emil Bove’s Troubling Record Disqualifies Him for a Federal Judgeship I urge you to oppose the confirmation of Emil Bove to a lifetime seat on the federal bench. The allegations surrounding his conduct and the mounting objections from within the legal community cast grave doubt on his fitness for judicial service. Allegations of Politically Motivated Misconduct Mr. Bove is currently under formal ethics investigation by both the New York Attorney Grievance Committee and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility. At issue is his alleged involvement in a politically driven agreement to drop criminal charges against Mayor Eric Adams, reportedly in exchange for cooperation on immigration enforcement. These accusations raise deep concerns about Mr. Bove’s commitment to impartial justice and the rule of law. Legal Professionals Sound the Alarm This nomination has drawn sharp rebuke from former federal judges and long-serving Justice Department attorneys. In letters submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, they describe Mr. Bove as someone who pushed subordinates to defy court orders and who repeatedly demonstrated reckless judgment unworthy of the bench. These are not partisan critics—they are legal professionals who have devoted their careers to upholding the law and protecting judicial integrity. A Lifetime Appointment Demands Unquestioned Integrity At a time when public faith in the judiciary is under strain, confirming a nominee who is the subject of ethics probes and professional condemnation would further damage confidence in our courts. Judges must be held to the highest standards of ethics and impartiality. Emil Bove does not meet those standards. For the good of our legal system and the reputation of the federal judiciary, I ask you to vote no on his confirmation.
