Emil Bove is somehow one of Trump's most controversial nominees yet

As key cogs in our legal system, lawyers must follow the core principle that they engage in zealous advocacy on behalf of their clients but stay within the bounds of the law. Over the first five months of President Donald Trump's second administration, Emil Bove III, formerly one of Trump's personal lawyers, has already tested the limits of his obligations to the legal system in service of the administration's policy goals.

Now, Trump has nominated Bove for a coveted lifetime appointment to a federal appeals court. And following his testimony on Wednesday, the Senate is considering Bove's nomination. But recent allegations that he gave federal prosecutors instructions to ignore court rulings, if true, suggest he isn't fit to practice law at all, let alone serve on the federal bench.
