📰 MIKE DAVIS: Confirmation of Emil Bove a triumph of new over old
The Senate confirmed President Trump’s nominee, Emil Bove, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with a narrow vote, a victory for conservatives despite opposition from Democrats and some Republican senators. Bove, a highly qualified candidate with a background as a prosecutor and clerk for top judges, received a “Well Qualified” rating from the American Bar Association.
