Lena Zwarensteyn, from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, issued the following statement after Bove's confirmation.

It ends like this: “Today’s vote was shameful. History will remember.”

Senator @booker.senate.gov on Bove nomination: "This is a time for another profile in courage. I'm hoping my Republican colleagues will look at the evidence and join in the conclusion held by so many patriots in our country and not let this man on one of the highest courts in the land."

Sen. @booker.senate.gov "Willful ignorance does not excuse any of us from our responsibility to seek the truth...I plead with my colleagues: Look at the facts. Give it your scrutiny. Analyze this nominee. Look at his record. Emil Bove has shown...his disrespect for the very office he seeks to hold."

Sen. @schiff.senate.gov: "He is there whenever Trump needs someone to carry out his will, regardless of ethical or even legal considerations. And dedicated public servants, career prosecutors are standing up to him, willing to risk their jobs, willing to risk retaliation by a vindictive president."

Sen @hirono.senate.gov: "Far from an independent, fair-minded jurist, Mr. Bove is willing to use whatever means he deems necessary to meet the ends sought by Donald Trump...No question that the reason Mr. Bove came to President Trump's attention is his complete loyalty...which he manifests clearly."

Senator @hirono.senate.gov says that Emil Bove is unfit for a lifetime judgeship given his disregard for the rule of law and his temperament. "There are so many red flags regarding this nominee...Mr. Bove has no respect for the rule of law or the courts that uphold it."

Senator @whitehouse.senate.gov: "This is a mark my words moment about an individual who will continue to disgrace himself and the rule of law if we put him on the bench."

"The mad dash to jam through this nominee...is a new low."

Sen. @welch.senate.gov underscoring Emil Bove's incredible lack of judicial temperament & disrespect for the rule of law. Says he's been an "active participant in political payback" & that Trump has made clear the people he wants appointed are people who will put him and his political desires first.

Senator @kim.senate.gov says that the people of New Jersey and the country deserve better than Emil Bove and that "the answer must be no" on his confirmation. Speaking powerfully against Bove's nomination to a New Jersey seat on the Third Circuit, hitting home Bove's fierce loyalty to Trump.

Senator @durbin.senate.gov: "President Trump is going to continue to nominate extreme, unqualified individuals unless the Senate takes a stand...I urge my colleagues: Vote against Mr. Bove and all future nominees who are only loyal to the president and not to the Constitution."

Senator @blumenthal.senate.gov on Trump's judicial nominees: "These nominations are unqualified...and if confirmed they'd extend the administration in its reach into the courts, in effect co-signing the president's most destructive and dangerous impulses, regardless of legality."
