Bove was recently confirmed to a lifetime position as a circuit court judge, despite concerns about his ethics.
The United States Senate has confirmed President Donald Trump’s controversial nominee for a prestigious and lifelong position as a federal appeals court judge.
The nomination of Emil Bove has stoked criticism from both Trump’s political opponents and, perhaps most notably, from the conservative legal establishment.
While US presidents have wide-ranging powers to nominate federal judges, some have seen Bove as a harbinger of more ideologically driven appointments during Trump’s second term.
Critics have framed Trump’s actions as an attempt to mould the judiciary in the likeness of his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
