Republican members of the committee. The Biden White House discussed two Sixth Circuit vacancies
00:05
and a Fourth Circuit vacancy with home state senators for seven months, nine months, and six
00:11
months, respectively, before making a selection. The White House also initially indicated that
00:17
Senator Booker would be able to interview candidates other than Mr. Bovee before then
00:21
reversing course. Notably, Mr. Bovee hardly has ties to New Jersey for this New Jersey-based seat.
00:28
Don't take my word for it. His formal nomination before this committee identifies him as, quote,
00:36
Emil J. Bovee III of Pennsylvania. He's not even admitted to practice before the court to which
00:43
he's been nominated. As a former chairman of this committee has said with respect to judicial
00:48
nominees, elections have consequences, so I expect to see conservative judicial nominees coming from
00:54
this administration. But in recent weeks, President Trump has criticized Leonard Leo and the Federalist
01:00
Society for, quote, bad advice they gave him in recommending legal conservatives during his first
01:06
term. He's upset that his own judicial nominees have ruled, had the audacity to rule against the
01:12
administration's illegal actions. With Mr. Bovee, we see a sign of what is to come. President Trump
01:20
cares a little about statutory interpretation and the original meaning of the Constitution.
01:27
He is looking for loyalty. He is looking for fierce retribution. He is looking for someone who will
01:32
instill fear in his opponents. It seems he has found such a nominee in Mr. Bovee. I yield.
01:39
He is looking for a new and Ronald. He is looking for 옷, husband, to put a new
01:43
judge's cloak to be a new decision. He has chosen his sole duty, and he is looking for him. He has chosen
01:47
a new decision. For his final decision to get the new decision for his own decision, he is going to be
01:53
a new decision for his first name. For his final decision, he will be worth a new decision that
01:58
he wants to come. He has chosen a new decision. He was looking for his first-year decision.
