Second, what about other judges retiring? I have no insight into the thoughts of any judge, but have great trouble seeing any originalist, textualist judge declining to retire in the face of @realdonaldtrump’s nominees. The current crop of nominees is excellent, top to bottom. 9/.

@WSJopinion faults Bove for linking the dismissal to immigration enforcement, but I'm not sure why that matters. The upshot of continuing the case is seeking to imprison Adams based on a flimsy indictment. That is bad by any measure and Bove deserves credit for stopping it. 8/.

The second objection concerns Bove’s role in dismissing the Eric Adams case. As I wrote post-indictment in @WSJopinion, that weak case should never have been brought. Bove explained as much in accepting the Acting U.S. Attorney’s resignation. 7/.

What about @WSJopinion's objections? The main objection concerns a meeting in which Bove allegedly asked colleagues about defying a potential court order and did so using profane language. Lets unpack both claims. 3/.

First, as I have written elsewhere, Emil Bove is a strong nominee right down the fairway of @realdonaldtrump’s long track record of excellent appointments. He has strong credentials and is a senior official @TheJusticeDept in the Administration. Straightforward pick. 2/

The @WSJopinion has an editorial today arguing three basic things: (1) Emil Bove is a poor judicial nominee, (2) his nomination will stop other judges from retiring, (3) other Trump nominees are better and will induce more retirements. I broadly disagree. 1/
