900 Department of Justice alumni have warned the U.S. Senate against appointing ex-Trump lawyer Emil Bove to the appellate court. "We are all alarmed by DOJ leadership's recent deviations from constitutional principles and institutional guardrails," the former department employees wrote, adding that Bove had "disgraced" the department. The letter, dated July 16, was signed by officials from as far back as the Kennedy administration. Tomorrow, the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on whether to advance Bove's nomination to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Circuit. He will serve a lifetime appointment if confirmed.
