Democratic Senators Slam the Door on Trump’s Judicial Pick— What’s Really Behind This Fierce Walkout?
Ever wonder what it’s like when a Senate hearing turns into the political equivalent of a circus — complete with walkouts, sharp words, and a nominee who seems to provoke more eye rolls than applause? Well, pull up a chair, because Emil Bove’s nomination to the Third Federal District Court of Appeals is exactly that kind of spectacle. This guy, apparently tailor-made to look like what a “slug” in a lifetime judicial seat might look like, stirred so much controversy that Democrats walked out, and Senator Cory Booker didn’t just stay for the drama — he grabbed the mic and didn’t let go. What does it say about our judicial system when a nominee’s past includes advising Department of Justice folks to basically tell courts “fuck you”? It’s a heck of a question… and one worth unpacking.
