    The headline says "appeal'. The content is about plans to appeal. Understand the difference, please.

    Lawfare does not belong in america

    The judge probably had this in mind when she dismissed the case,knew it would go all the way to SCOTUS,then in the future there will be no doubt who can and who can not appoint a S C
  • If Smith's appointment is unconstitutional then how would they expect this to win on appeal because eventually it would go to the SCOTUS. Seems like a big waste of time and money at this point.
  • Clarence Thomas put something in his concurrence telling Judge Cannon to do this.
  • Good. SCOTUS might increase the scope of the decision to all special counsel investigations. Make them all appear before Congress before they start investigations and then get Congress to fund them.
  • @mrsciottimta
    She was backed by Thomas. Look it up. He gave her advice on what to do
  • @TheSaturnV
    We kept telling you media activists that none of these court cases had any grounds at all. Another one bites the dust.
  • Real simple. Why not get ratified by congress? It is clearly written special counsel must be ratified by congress.
  • @dstorm7752
    Those reporters never got to the point -- the lack of statutory authority to appoint Smith. There wasn't any.
  • @Clintoniumer
    How can an unconstitutional special counsel appeal lol a private citizen appointed by the AG can’t prosecute the former president
  • Who pays Smith for the appeal if he was illegally appointed and illegally payed before?
  • @gdr55
    So another misleading Headline. BS.
  • Congress could have obviated this problem via a special counsel or independent counsel statute. They chose to do nothing. Garland could have prevented this problem by choosing a US Atty already confirmed by the Senate, he chose not to do so. Yeah, it’s Judge Cannon’s fault.
  • @MIkeKDBA
    It takes time to write an impermeable 93 page ruling with complete citations. The Florida appeals court will read this ruling and not take the case.
  • @TheFrogfeeder
    After the judge’s finding that smith is illegitimate, how does he even have the power to appeal this?
  • @noway905
    He is NOT a bonified Special Council now so STOP calling him one.
  • @j.sumner6999
    You mistate the reason Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed. He was a private citizen and Merrick Garland does not have the authority over private citizens, only over DOJ officers.
