Gregg Nunziata in NPR
Executive Director Gregg Nunziata was quoted in NPR raising concerns over Trump’s recent nomination of Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. This follows the letter he sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee opposing Bove’s nomination.
From the NPR article:
Gregg Nunziata once served as chief nominations counsel for senior Republican lawmakers. He considers Bove’s background as a staunch defender of Trump “very ill-suited for a lifetime federal judgeship.”
If confirmed, Bove, 44, will enjoy a job with substantial autonomy and lifetime tenure.
Now the executive director at the Society for the Rule of Law, Nunziata said the nomination tests the legal movement that worked for decades to cement the ranks of the judiciary with young, credentialed conservative attorneys.
“Conservatives…even populist-inclined conservatives more aligned with the president than I am, should worry about judgeships being handed out as favors to loyalists,” he said.
