Senate Democrats walked out of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearing of President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Emil Bove on Thursday. Bove was nominated to be a judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker accused Republican Chairman Chuck Grassley of rushing through the vote and not allowing debate on Bove’s background.
"This is outrageous that you’re not allowing senators to have their fair say before a controversial nominee is being done," Booker argued.
“The only time this rule has been overturned by both parties was done when one minority was trying to pull some stunt to stop the committee from hearing."
Earlier this year, Booker gave a speech on the Senate floor that lasted over 25 hours, the longest solo speech in Senate history, while protesting Trump’s second presidency and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
