    Unfortunately, it likely won’t make any difference, because the Senate is comprised almost entirely of co-conspirators in Trump’s coup d’etat and cowards who won’t stand against them.

        Every single day since his inauguration has been the time to fight.

    “Evidence is growing that Emil Bove urged Department of Justice lawyers to ignore federal court orders. That alone should disqualify him from a lifetime appointment to one of the most powerful courts in our country,” said Sean Eldridge, president and founder of the progressive advocacy group Stand Up America, in a statement.

    “What we’re seeing here is something I never thought would be possible on such a wide scale: federal prosecutors appointed by the Trump administration intentionally presenting dubious if not outright false evidence to a court of jurisdiction in cases that impact a person’s fundamental rights not only under our Constitution, but their natural rights as humans,” said Whistleblower Aid chief legal counsel Andrew Bakaj in a statement.
