Multiple whistleblowers with documented evidence have raised serious concerns about Bove's fitness for a lifetime judicial appointment. The allegations that he suggested defying court orders and misled senators during testimony are deeply troubling for someone seeking to serve on the federal bench. These aren't partisan attacks but legitimate concerns from career Justice Department attorneys who witnessed potential misconduct firsthand and filed formal complaints with the inspector general.
