Stacey Young, executive director and founder of Justice Connection, issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate voted 50-49 to confirm Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit:
Emil Bove has been the enforcer of many of the attacks on DOJ and its employees. By confirming his nomination the Senate condoned the devastation he unleashed on the department.
Multiple whistleblowers stepped forward to bear witness to his destruction of constitutional principles and institutional guardrails. Some senators unfairly criticized and discounted their claims, but history will honor their courage.
The thousands of DOJ alumni we represent stand ready to support anyone who is brave enough to expose the lawlessness coming from this department’s leadership.”
