Are you *fucking* kidding me here?

Third U.S. Circuit Judge Emil Bove openly attended a no-shit political rally? In any sane world he’d get suspended from the Bench for a stunt like that! But this of course is an utterly insane world in which we live.
Phang: Bove knows he’s not a regular citizen anymore. Judges are bound by different rules of conduct than an average Joe or Jane citizen.

So for Bove to say that he was there in his “private capacity” or even his “public citizen” capacity is bunk and bullshit.
