Senate considering nomination of ex-Trump defense lawyer for lifetime appointment to appeals court

On Tuesday, the United States Senate voted 50–48 to advance Emil Bove’s Third Circuit nomination, reflecting deep partisan divisions.
Amid a conservative judicial push, Trump nominated Emil Bove earlier this year after his DOJ service, including a role as a senior official and Trump defense lawyer.
Refusing debate, Republicans jammed the nomination past the committee, while a DOJ whistleblower alleged Bove told attorneys to 'fuck you' and ignore court orders.
The full Senate will consider the nomination following the narrow vote as the 50-48 margin underscores deep Senate divisions.
Observers expect a final vote by next Wednesday, and Bove's rulings could influence immigration, voting, and business law, highlighting ongoing partisan divides.
