Ken I know you made a sarcastic point about this yesterday, but it is starting to feel that in politics and in law intellectual consistency just doesn't have any value anymore
DOJ authorized Jack Smith to appeal Cannon’s dismissal.
How the 11th Circuit decides will affect “the entire framework of how special counsel investigations are conducted in the future.”
“How the 11th Circuit decides will affect “the entire framework of how special counsel investigations are conducted in the future.”” -Will make this irresistible to SCOTUS. Which can’t bode well for Jack.
Honestly, will this matter? Won’t it just end up at the Supreme Court where they will agree with Cannon? She must have earned herself a lil Winnebago this week.
Perhaps I am overreacting, but I take this as raising your whole stake in poker.
They believe 2024 is their last, greatest chance to completely remake the government and constitution to their liking, so they aren't going to just "tease it" anymore.
They are all in.
Is this appealable? I mean, we all saw the evidence. I guess delaying was the point, so this is kind of moot, but if Biden wins I'd love to see Trump go to trial for this.
I was joking.
He's got nothing to lose. He must appeal immediately & ask for Cannon's recusal.
trump's legal cases need to be in front of the public now. If the appeal is shot down, leak all of the evidence to the press & public. America needs to know what crimes he committed. We are all jurors.
She slow walked the case from the day it was filed and then dismissed it on the opening day of the republican convention. Calling her a partisan hack is being too nice to her.
LOL. Every time lawyers try to explain this and that, because the law/constitution says this and that, and the average shitposter said "but it doesn't matter, they're all corrupt to the core", the shitposter turned out to be right.
The mobbed up federal judge installed to save Trump followed the lead of the rogue SCOTUS justice who's been bought with millions in bribes and who visited Putin's palace via yacht with Harlan Crow.
This is treason against the United States and our Constitution. Nothing less.
Your profile says you're GenX like me - I wonder sometimes if GenAlpha will be raised on children's media where the good guys don't win they just...don't die every episode.
I'm personally annoyed by the need to give every villian a tragic background and a redemption arc. Some folks need to be reassured that they'll be forgiven when they go evil...
It won’t work bc Weiss was former US Attorney and thus was senate confirmed so it’s ok by this farcical argument (if one care about logic and fairness et )
Is this the type of ruling for which DOJ could request an expedited appeal to the 11th Circuit? I assume even if an appeal went DOJ's way, the case would be gummed up in the courts for a long time?
Conversely, I saw one speculation that DOJ could immediately appoint Smith an AUSA & he could carry right on. IANAL so not sure how viable that option would be, but sounds like fun. lol
