This article was originally published by The Epoch Times: Senate Judiciary Panel Advances Bove, Pirro Nominations After Democrats Walk Out in Protest

During a recent Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, the nomination of Emil Bove sparked a dramatic walkout by Democratic senators, highlighting the deepening divide in contemporary U.S. politics.

On July 17, the committee advanced the nominations of Jeanine Pirro for U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and Emil Bove for a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Notably, the committee’s approval of Bove was marked by a unanimous 12-0 vote, conducted along Republican lines, as Democrats opted to exit in protest.

Bove’s nomination proved particularly contentious. As the current principal associate deputy attorney general, he faced criticism for allegedly asserting that the Justice Department would bypass court directives regarding the deportation of Venezuelans to a prison in El Salvador, invoking the Alien Enemies Act to do so.

Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) expressed his dissent during the meeting, questioning the urgency behind Bove’s expedited approval. As votes were being cast, Booker stated, “This is the world’s most deliberative body, and we can’t even debate a controversial judge, a judge that has been accused by a whistleblower of lying to the United States Senate, to lying to this committee.” He further lamented that the current trajectory of U.S. governance appears to gravitate towards authoritarianism, facilitated by Republican complicity, thereby undermining the foundational checks and balances established by the nation’s founders.

In defense of the committee’s actions, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) justified the vote, emphasizing that such maneuvers were not unprecedented and that it was essential to maintain momentum in the legislative process. “I ordered the vote this time, so if you’ll spread that word that this is not unprecedented, either the actions of the minority walking away, or what we did here as a majority, it’s happened before, and we have to move things along,” he stated. Grassley expressed gratitude to all participants involved in the process.

Before his current role, Bove was part of the legal defense team for former President Donald Trump during a case in New York City, where Trump was convicted on multiple counts of falsifying business records ahead of the 2016 election.

Jeanine Pirro, a former district attorney and judge in New York, who also co-hosted a show on Fox News, was nominated as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia on May 8. Following the acting tenure of Ed Martin, she has been serving in an acting capacity since her ceremonial swearing-in on May 28. Initially, Trump had intended to nominate Martin permanently, but opposition from Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) led to the withdrawal of that nomination. Given the narrow Republican majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Martin’s nomination was likely to be reported unfavorably, although a Senate floor vote remains possible due to the broader Republican majority of 53 seats.
