Gregg Nunziata on the Confirmation of Emil Bove in the UnPopulist

“This is not law. It is a betrayal of the republican spirit. It is anarchy loosed upon the world.”

Gregg Nunziata authored a guest essay for The UnPopulist, warning that the recent confirmation of Emil Bove — a former Trump attorney and current top DOJ official — to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit represents a dangerous break from constitutional norms.

In the piece, Nunziata outlines Bove’s track record of politicized decision-making and disregard for legal ethics, including allegations that he urged prosecutors to ignore court orders and fired career officials for refusing to carry out politically motivated directives. He argues that Bove’s confirmation by Senate Republicans, despite these red flags and bipartisan concern, reflects a broader erosion of the Senate’s constitutional role and an alarming willingness to reward loyalty over rule of law.
