It seems as though Justice Thomas is gonna try to make the Special Persecutor appointment an issue

Justice Thomas raised crucial question about legitimacy of special counsel's prosecution of Trump

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas raised a question Thursday that goes to the heart of Special Counsel Jack Smith's charges against former President Donald Trump.

Kudos to Justice Thomas. He read the Meese amicus brief it appears.

This is very significant stuff (to the extent the SCOTUS bothers to actually address it, that is). It is brilliant and simultaneously fairly basic analysis.

If (as Meese maintains and I agree) the “appointment “ of special persecutor Smith is invalid for fundamental reasons of Constitutional law, then the Federal cases against Trump have to get tossed out.

Justice Thomas is the best!

I have the highest respect for him!

He is a brilliant man and jurist.

And the fact that he dared to broach the topic of the Meese brief established that he is a man of substance and integrity.

And so is Meese.

I guess the next big question is whether the balance of the SCOTUS justices are going to be up to the task of dealing with this legitimate and important question.
