There’s a lot of cowardice going on here. The Supremes do not need to remand this to a lower court to find another way to screw Trump. They need to just put an end to put the whole damn thing. If some future president strangled his girlfriend, you can address that at the proper time. Also, it’s incredible that Jack Smith illegal appointment hasn’t been challenged.

The Supreme Court has watched this stolen election and hunting Trump legal mockery go on for 3 1/2 years, they have stood aside aloof, if they don’t intervene in this, they lose all credibility.

And Thomas knows exactly whether or not they challenged Jack Smith appointment. Thomas was practically begging someone to do something about it. It’s pretty bad when one good man on the supreme court has to tell trumps attorneys somethings so basic. Like all good lawyers, Thomas knew the answer to the question before he asked it.

As Ed Meese stated this correct Smith hasn’t gone through approval channels and really can do whatever he wants.

Trump’s lawyers should have raised the issue of Smith’s illegal appointment from the absolute beginning. Why didn’t they? Is it because they want to milk Trump’s pocketbook for ungodly hourly attorney fees or are they in on a scheme covertly with Jack Smith to screw Trump over?

Maybe Thomas can convince the other justices that Smith has no legal authority to prosecute Trump, and the case must be dismissed with prejudice.

What does it say about Trump that he chose the lawyers to represent him? He is his own worst enemy.

>> What does it say about Trump...? He is his own worst enemy.

I might be wrong, but I think there is one of those silly Supreme Court sorority rules that they don’t get together and talk about the cases.... they all prepare their ruling separately.
But I might be wrong on that.

The legitimacy of the Smith appointment has been challenged in the immunity and document cases by Trump’s lawyers.

One thing that it says is that the Dems destroying the lives of anyone associated with Trump has probably had a negative effect on his legal representation.

If he was a prisoner at gitmo, the best and brightest attorneys would be rushing to his defense.

The simple and correct action the Supreme Court should rule that Jack Smith as Special Prosecutor is unconstitutional, explain why, and state that all the other issues are moot.

“What does it say about Trump that he chose the lawyers to represent him? “

It says the legal terrorism, the street terrorism, and the well organized blacklists and boycotts have turned away the lawyers he could have normally hired.
I have lost count on how many Trump attorneys have been raided, imprisoned, or disbarred.

This isn’t Trump’s fault.

The Justices get together on the Friday after the case is heard and have an informal vote on how to proceed. They can then appoint someone to write the majority opinion.

Hack Smith is apparently an illegitimate Meritless Garland pitbull bot.

He needs to be brought up on criminal conspiracy charges to deprive half of America of their Civil Rights.

Never did a team of lawyers represent such a precisely targeted man of such a lofty prior federal political position under such constant and multifarious legal and political attack, so thoroughly baseless each one, in such an unjust, banana-republic atmosphere that seemingly swirled into such an oppressive existence so suddenly and so overwhelmingly.

You might want to consider cutting them a little slack if they failed to spot an issue or two.

They lost credibility when they pulled the “Moot, Laches, Lacking Standing” cycle during the last election.

The reason Trump’s legal team hasn’t explicitly made Jack Smith’s legal status an issue seems to be, according to the article, that they want SCOTUS to make a broader ruling on presidential immunity that would address ALL the cases currently being pursued against him, not just the Jack Smith case.
