The only place to go from there is the Supreme Court — not that the president needs any help there.

  • Oh, yay. Oh, yay.

  • Donald Trump just appointed his Trumpiest judge to date,

  • a hardcore Trumper and one of his many personal lawyers to the second most important court in the country.

  • Emil Bove takes orders from Donald Trump and that is it.

  • Fair enough, Senator Schiff, except it's pronounced Emil Bove.

  • Bove is just about the worst nominee to the bench that Donald Trump has ever made.

  • Senator Schumer.

  • It's Bovee.

  • Bovee made his career handling Donald Trump's dirty laundry.

  • Sir, that's just flagrant.

  • I mean, fragrant.

  • I mean, flagrant.

  • Mr. Bovee.

  • Can someone get these people a pronouncer?

  • Bovee.

  • Like Bovee with a V at the end.

  • Mr. Bovee, I was just listening to my colleague.

  • Not you, Amy.

  • Emile Bovee should not be on the Third Circuit as a judge for a lifetime position.

  • Thank you, Senator Booker.
