Today, the Senate voted to advance one of President Trump’s nominations (and his former personal lawyer), Emil Bove, to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

In a 50-48 vote, the Senate voted to invoke cloture.

Two RINOS voted with Democrats against the move.

Those were Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Susan Collins of Maine.

Now, the Senate will have 30 hours of debate before the final vote.

Emil Bove can be confirmed as early as Monday!

Currently, he serves at No. 3 in command at the Department of Justice, where he’s already made some very bold and controversial moves.

From The Hill:

Bove has been embroiled in controversy since the start of the Trump administration. He was behind moves to fire prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases and moved to dismiss the bribery charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D), prompting a flood of resignations from career attorneys.

Democrats — along with Murkowski and Collins — really do not want Emil Bove confirmed, which just about says it all.

Last week, some Democrats actually stormed out of a meeting over his nomination.

Fox News has more on the opposition Emil Bove is facing:

Democrats have argued that Bove, a former defense attorney for President Donald Trump, is unfit for the role, pointing to allegations that he proposed behind closed doors that the Trump administration could simply ignore judicial orders. Bove denies those allegations.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, voted with Republicans to move forward but said in a statement that she will oppose Bove’s confirmation on a final vote. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the lone Republican to vote against moving forward with Bove’s nomination.

“We have to have judges who will adhere to the rule of law and the Constitution and do so regardless of what their personal views may be,” Collins said in a statement. “Mr. Bove’s political profile and some of the actions he has taken in his leadership roles at the Department of Justice cause me to conclude he would not serve as an impartial jurist.”

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee stormed out of the meeting where the committee approved Bove last week.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., attempted to push for more debate time, but Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, pushed forward with the vote.

“What are you afraid of?” Booker erupted, after Grassley tried to speak over him and hold the vote. “Debating this [nomination], putting things on the record — Dear God,” he said, “that’s what we are here for.”

“What are they saying to you,” he said, referring to the Trump administration, “that is making you do something to violate the decorum, the decency and the respect of this committee to at least hear each other out?”

Booker ended the sharp exchange with Grassley by saying simply, “This is wrong, sir, and I join with my colleagues in leaving,” before streaming out of the committee room.

Get him confirmed!

God knows we need more judges aligned with President Trump in our nation…

And while we’re at it, oust Murkowski and Collins, too!
