The Senate Judiciary Committee gave its approval to two controversial Trump nominees Thursday, forwarding Emil Bove and Jeanine Pirro over objections from Democrats who walked out of a business meeting after debate was cut short.
Bove, one of President Trump’s former criminal defense attorneys who is now in the No. 3 spot in the Justice Department, has been nominated for a lifetime appointment as a jurist on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
He has been accused by a whistleblower of saying the administration should consider telling the courts “f— you” and defy any injunctions imposed by judges blocking their use of the Alien Enemies Act.
Pirro, a former county judge and Fox News host, was confirmed as a nominee for U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.
The meeting made for an unusual scene, as Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) appealed to Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) on personal terms after the GOP chairman cut off requests for continued debate and did not allow all Democrats to speak on the Bove nomination.
