Martin becoming head of “the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group”, a position not requiring confirmation, tells you all you need to know about him. And Bondi and Trump. Typical Trumpist projection. Watch what we do, not what we say.

Bove is 44 years old? He looks, and behaves, like The Picture of Dorian Gray. Evil will do that.

Yes. Being truly evil ages a person. See kkkkennedy. See miller/musk. Etc.

I can’t imagine anyone worse than Bove to appoint to this post. He is Roy Cohn reincarnated.

This administration will certainly go down in history books as identifiable point when public lost confidence in the courts. The weaponizing of multiple institutions against Trump's perceived "enemies" and simply those he holds in low regard will likely take years if not decades to repair.

Republicans can OWN ALL OF IT.

They have had multiple opportunities to oppose at least the most egregious acts and nominations but have only enabled them.

Trump has captured the House and the Senate, appointed a critical mass of Supreme Court justices, and reconfigured the executive branch for maximum dictatorial powers.

About the only avenue I see for effective resistance—at least until the midterms and then only if the Trumpists haven’t rigged those elections—is the power of disbarment.

Last I heard, a Bondi relative was running for a position at the D.C. Bar Association tasked with handling such cases.

Bove inspires negative superlatives. I can’t think of anyone more deserving.

Haven’t heard much from Eastman lately. How many former Supreme Court clerks have been disbarred?

And he might also be the worst human being ever conceived, too!

(Hey, is it just me or does Bove have an eerie and unsettling resemblance to Roy Cohn?)

Judges can be impeached. If he misbehaves he can be removed.

Well in light of some of his cabinet members’ and Supreme Court appointment’s performances, and the failure of congress to exercise their independence from the Executive branch, we’re already in serious trouble. Unless we can stop ALL of his selections, and elect congressmen and Senators who aren’t toadies, we may have to take up arms like our ancestors did. Money has completely corrupted our government—how can we trust any of them?

Him, Bondi and the maga loyalists in SCOTUS, seem to think they’re invincible.

The Republicans will pass him. We need to know who votes for his passage and then scream it loud to their constituents.
