OMG, partisanship in the extreme.
Senate, Rejecting Whistle-Blower Alarms, Confirms Bove to Appeals Court
The Senate confirmed Emil Bove, a Trump loyalist whose short tenure in the top ranks of the Justice Department prompted whistle-blower complaints and a storm of criticism from agency veterans, to a powerful federal appeals court judgeship.
Mr. Bove had spurred outcries at the department by directing or overseeing the firing of dozens of employees and ordering the dismissal of bribery charges against Mayor Eric Adams of New York. According to one whistle-blower who went public, Mr. Bove also told government lawyers that they might ignore court orders in pursuit of President Trump’s immigration policy goals.
Mr. Bove has denied being anyone’s enforcer or henchman, but his nomination to a lifetime appointment one rung below the Supreme Court provoked an intense battle in the Senate. His approval to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which encompasses Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, came by a tiny margin, 50 to 49, with all Democrats and two Republicans, Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, opposing him.

Everyone just ignore Bove's orders--from whichever edifice he issues them. Turnabout is fair play.

Yep, years from now if there are humans left to read and write, one of the major themes will be the cowardice of the Senatorial Republicans and how they had numerous opportunities to stop the destruction of the country but were too cowardly to get it done. Murkowski, Collins, Romney, Tillis, McConnell, Graham, Grassly, Earnst, and Thune have each had multiple opportunities to put a stop to things they knew were wrong for the country.
They chickened out.
