On Friday, Judge Aileen Cannon, overseeing the Florida-based records prosecution of former president Donald Trump, heard a lawsuit regarding the legitimacy of the appointment of special prosecutor Jack Smith. On Sunday, his office provided the response to those complaints. On Monday, the court entertained the oral arguments regarding this issue. Based upon his arguments, even a non-lawyer such as myself can see that the two cases (Florida and Washington, D.C.) are illegitimate. Now we must await Judge Cannon’s opinion.
On Sunday evening, Mark Levin announced on Fox News that his Landmark Legal Foundation had filed a brief concerning the validity of Jack Smith’s appointment. He laid out the legal arguments. Further information demonstrates the weakness of Smith’s argument. Levin noted that Ed Meese and Michael Mukasey provided briefs arguing against Smith’s appointment. I will give the information as briefly as possible.
~Snip~
The Justice Department has established regulatory guidelines for special prosecutors, which would be acceptable under the 1978 law. In early June, Representative Thomas Massie questioned A.G. Merrick Garland about the legitimacy of Smith’s appointment after quoting former A.G. Ed Meese’s brief. Garland had no answer for the issue. Perhaps Garland understood that if he was overseeing the cases that that would mean the White House and he were directly involved, which would be election interference? But they deny this and claim that Smith is independent. That would make him a superior officer, requiring confirmation.
However, there is another problem with Smith’s argument. The law that he cites in Cannon’s court was allowed to lapse in 1999. There is no law authorizing the DOJ to appoint an inferior officer with such power. So this is a violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
Sorry, but Smith’s legal argument is sophomoric. This situation explains all the leftist articles against Judge Cannon, who clearly is acting as a real judge.
Commentary:
First. Americans should thank the Gods that Merick Garland never became a Supreme Court Justice.
Selective Prosecution is Unconstitutional. Comey, Hillary, Pence, and Biden hid Classified Docs and shared them.. Biden stole Highly classifed material from a Senate SCIF as Senator.
Democrat Neo Marxists refuse to recognize the constitution as legal, and won’t ever recognize any decisions which they didn’t approve of, and any decision made by conservative judges won’t be recognized.
The present directors of the DOJ and FBI are ideologically Democrat puppets. The institutions, therefore, allow only Elite Democrats to decide what’s right or wrong, with wrong coming only from the republican side.. Therfore Human rights, Liberty, Blackstone and the Constitution have no value.
Jack Smith is just a willing tool of the corrupt in Garlanf's Department of Just-Us. They all need a necktie party, 10 at a time.
The Democrat Neo-Marxist has left clearly has weaponized the legal system against their political enemies. This then requires all good lawyers (such as those opposing Jack Smith,) to unify in defense of honor, integrity, and righteous arguments before balanced judges and juries, (grand or otherwise) to effect righteous decisions. May judge Cannon decide righteously.
