WASHINGTON — Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, issued the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Emil Bove as a circuit judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit:

“The Senate made history today by confirming one of the most bold and fearless defenders of the Constitution in modern memory. Emil Bove is exactly the kind of principled warrior President Trump promised to put on the bench, and once again, President Trump delivered.

“Emil Bove isn’t just another judge. He’s a constitutionalist with a spine of steel and a track record that terrifies the radical left and rattles the swampy D.C. establishment. He’s fought terrorists, exposed corrupt prosecutors, defended President Trump from Biden’s republic-ending lawfare, and shut down rogue Justice Department officials more loyal to MSNBC than to the rule of law. And now, thanks to a Republican-led Senate with a backbone, Emil Bove is taking his rightful seat on the federal appellate bench.

“The deep state and their leftist allies fought hard to stop Bove. They smeared him. They lied about him. They tried every dirty trick in the book to derail his nomination, because they know exactly what he represents: a return to constitutional order and the end of weaponized justice.

“The Article III Project proudly led the fight to confirm Bove, just as we did with over 230 of President Trump’s judges in his first term. And we’re not done. In Trump’s second term, we will continue to restore our federal judiciary, brick-by-brick, with constitutionalists who have the courage to say no to the deep state and yes to the American people.

“Congratulations to Emil Bove. He is the prototypical Trump 2.0 judge. And thank you, President Trump, for once again keeping your promise to nominate judges who understand their job is to apply the law as written, boldly and fearlessly–not twist and pervert it with wild interpretations. With Emil Bove’s confirmation, the Third Circuit just got a whole lot tougher,” said Davis.

A3P led the grassroots fight to confirm Emil Bove from the moment President Trump announced his nomination. A3P ran a campaign of nearly 3,000 constituents making nearly 13,000 contacts to their home-state senators. Opinion pieces from A3P’s Mike Davis, Josh Hammer, and Will Chamberlain were among the first and strongest to advocate for Bove’s confirmation.

The Article III Project (A3P) was founded by veteran GOP operative and attorney Mike Davis, who, after helping win the Senate confirmation battles of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, developed the reputation as a “take-no-prisoners conservative eager to challenge the left with hardball tactics,” as reported in The New York Times.‍‍

‍A3P defends constitutionalist judges, punches back on radical assaults on judicial independence (like court-packing) and opposes judicial and other nominees who are outside of the mainstream. Davis previously served as Chief Counsel for Nominations to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary and led the Senate confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and a record number of circuit court judges.
