KEY POINTS

A fired Department of Justice lawyer says that top DOJ official Emil Bove told department attorneys to consider telling judges “f—k you” and ignore any court order barring the Trump administration from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act.

Donald Trump has nominated Bove as a federal circuit court appeals judge.

Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Dick Durbin, an Ilinois Democrat, urged his Republican colleagues not to “turn a blind eye to the dire consequences of confirming” Bove to a lifetime position as a circuit court judge.

    Turn a blind eye? This guy is willing to tell progressive and liberal judges to fuck off. The republican senators are all fully erect at the opportunity to appoint him.

    I look forward to hearing that Fetterman, Schumer and other spinless, feckless Democrats voted to confirm him.
