Heroic Judge Aileen Cannon Dismisses Florida Documents Case Against Trump, Citing the Illegal Appointment of Jack Smith
In a 93 page opinion, she lays out her reasoning: Jack Smith was illegally appointed by Merrick Garland. Garland failed to follow the legal course for a special prosecutor appointment.
You may remember that in the presidential immunity decision, Justice Thomas pointed out that this special counsel was appointed illegally. The Appropriations and Appointments clauses set out the requirements for appointing, and funding, a special counsel: The nominee must be approved by Congress, and so too must funding for the office by approved by Congress. Instead of following this simple plan -- probably because he didn't want Jack Smith's partisan history picked over by Congress -- Merrick Garland usurped the authority of Congress and appointed him by his own claimed power.The federal judge overseeing the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump and his two codefendants has dismissed the charges against them, ruling that the appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecution was in violation of the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.Although the DC case isn't directly impacted by this decision -- both judges are on the same plane, so one judge's ruling isn't binding on another -- the split in authority will presumably now go to an appeals court to decide who is right. Jonathan Turley commented on X:
"The bottom line is this: The Appointments Clause is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives to Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers," wrote U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in her 93-page order. "The Special Counsel's position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers." The judge wrote that if the political branches want to grant the attorney general power to appoint Smith to investigate and prosecute Trump, with the powers of a U.S. attorney, there is a valid means to do so: he can be appointed and confirmed through the means laid out in the Appointments Clause, or Congress can authorize his appointment through legislation consistent with the Constitution. Cannon also wrote in her ruling that the dismissal only applies to the classified documents case and not Smith's January 6 case against Trump, which is out of her jurisdiction.
The Trump Derangement Syndrome left is so filled with hatred, and so determined to show off their performative "virtue" of the intensity of their hatred for Trump, that they become irrational and make terrible choices, not just for the country and Constitution, but for their own political/legal position.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley The dismissal of the classified documents case is a seismic development. From the beginning of all of these cases, I have said that the Mar-a-Lago case was the greatest threat to the former president. It is now dismissed. ...This was the three-point shot for Trump. The easier basket was the D.C. case despite a far more favorable judge for Jack Smith. That case is inundated with presumptively privileged evidence and challenged charges... ...Judge Cannon's decision mirrors the views of many leading lawyers who see the same constitutional flaw that led Justice Clarence Thomas to expressly raise his issue in his recent opinion... ...There are good faith arguments on both sides of this question but even critics must acknowledge that anomaly of having a constitutionally mandated confirmation process for U.S. Attorneys but then allow an ad hoc system of unilateral appointments for special counsels ... ...This opinion is still an outlier among the courts that have reviewed the question. Other courts have given short shrift to the issue. Judge Cannon was criticized for giving this challenge a full opportunity for briefing and argument in her court. ...The decision is another example of how Smith misplayed his hand in piling on charges in Flordia. If he had simply gone forward with the obstruction charge, he could have had a trial before the election... ...Of all of the cases that Trump would want to see dismissed from the Trump perspective, this is the one. For Trump's perspective, this has always been lawfare and this is the second close miss in a week by his enemies. Whether the Florida case was lawfare or legitimate, Smith overloaded the case with charges that slowed it down and made it even more vulnerable to challenges.
Obviously, the left will intensify its vicious attacks on Cannon -- just as it's pretending to call for a "lowering of the temperature" of political rhetoric. More from Judge Cannon's ruling:
...We will have to see how Smith will now respond from an appeal to the possible refiling by a confirmed U.S. Attorney. Historically, he has not gone quietly into the night when faced with legal obstacles... ...Cannon finds both unconstitutional elements in the appointment by Garland and the appropriations given to Smith -- all without the consent of Congress... ...""Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised in the Motion, the Court is convinced that Special Counsel's Smith's prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme--the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law."

Cannon: "Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised in the Motion, the Court is convinced that Special Counsel's Smith's prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme--the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law. "The Framers gave Congress a pivotal role in the appointment of principal and inferior officers. That role cannot be usurped by the Executive Branch or diffused elsewhere--whether in this case or in another case, whether in times of heightened national need or not. "In the case of inferior officers, that means that Congress is empowered to decide if it wishes to vest appointment power in a Head of Department, and indeed, Congress has proven itself quite capable of doing so in many other statutory contexts. But it plainly did not do so here, despite the Special Counsel's strained statutory readings."

One of the reasons we are where we are today in Soviet America is that the left could break whatever rules and laws they wanted and the GOPe would just allow them to do it.
Cannon here actually following the law - Smith's appointment was noted as illegal from the beginning is what you would expect any actual opposition to do. Now if we could clone her and Trump maybe we'd be getting somewhere

This is an open-and-shut matter. I usually agree with Turley, but I think he is being too kind when he says "there are good faith arguments on both sides of this question." There are not. There is only one good-faith argument. Smith was clearly and obviously not validly appointed.
This is not a criticism of the judge. She clearly knew she was sticking her neck out and wanted to write a highly detailed opinion.

Scuttlebutt is that Smith had kompromat on him from his stint on the ICC so was directly controllable by Garland.
That being said, a lot of DAs will resign rather than take something like a special prosecutor job on a dubious political hit. Trump had that problem when trying to get his DAs to investigate voter fraud claims in 2020.
Simply put, those DAs will return into the legal community usually in that state and making political enemies does not help in the practice of being a consigliere for the local big law firms.
A few, bucking for high DOJ appointments, might do the job but generally it is thankless task that does not aid one's legal career in the future.

Cannon:
Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised in the Motion, the Court is convinced that Special Counsel’s Smith’s prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme—the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law.
The Framers gave Congress a pivotal role in the appointment of principal and inferior officers. That role cannot be usurped by the Executive Branch or diffused elsewhere—whether in this case or in another case, whether in times of heightened national need or not.
In the case of inferior officers, that means that Congress is empowered to decide if it wishes to vest appointment power in a Head of Department, and indeed, Congress has proven itself quite capable of doing so in many other statutory contexts. But it plainly did not do so here, despite the Special Counsel’s strained statutory readings.

They thought they would always be able to manipulate the legal system into giving them the ruling they wanted. And they were wrong.

John Brown had five wealthy NYers who funded his serial mass murders in Kansas and VA and none of them were ever charged. One was smart enough to visit Europe for a year or so. Today, John Brown's grave and farm are NY State Park.

NR is done being a conservative thought leader just like Billy Kristol's Weakly Standard/Bulwark and they know it.
But, NR is better at following conservative trends than Pierre Omidyar funded Bulwark or his Stinkin Lincoln Pedo Project. Omidyar, like Stan, does not care if his tools are broken and Omidyar probably enjoys seeing Billy dance and humiliate himself for his money just like a monkey and organ grinder.
NR is funded by corporate types like Googul to keep antitrust and consumer friendly regulation at bay and to plead for corporate interests for the GOP officeholders and staffers. So they follow the current, however reluctantly, because to do otherwise makes them useless as persuaders to the GOP donor and officeholder class.

The Left will still be able to get on tiktoc and wail about missing Trump this time, as with Hack Black, and crickets.
Anyone to the left of them needs to carefully ponder what they say to "lower the temerature" in these perilous times.

"Thou shall not commit adultery" is not really talking about monogamy, according to this Canadian pastor who supports polygamy.
According to Trinity-St. Paul's Centre for Faith, Justice, and the Arts Minister Cheri DiNovo, "thou shall not commit adultery" is not really what you think it means. Apparently, the notion that this commandment means not to cheat on your spouse is a made-up concept created by the "Christian right."

I seriously doubt Trump gives it to them. Pence was the olive branch to the GOPe the first time, and then the GOPe rode the Russian collusion narrative for almost 3 years.
Trump's in control. Vance, as the recent pro-Trump firebreather, makes more sense than Nikki.

On the Ark were paired animals. Even though - say - lions are polygynous, Noah admitting Simba did not include his whole harem. Noah didn't sneak on extra human hotties for his own use, either, however that might be a "natural" urge for men.
The Judeo-Christian ideal is one male / one female.
As for Christians I don't see where Christ ever said "all right bros, go for it, whatever your hands possess". Contrast certain other selfinterested prophets I can mention.
tl;dr, this "pastor" is literally a worse Christian than the local rabbi and should find another career.

Lawyers and judges just love computers as it makes it easy to cut and paste into their briefs all sorts of footnotes and citations. You can actually buy software that allows you to basically have a citation database to plug in the cite references as needed.

Out of the blue: Biden announces he's stepping down for the good of the nation and national unity and all that shit. Asks Trump to join in him to lower the temp and in the name of national unity.

The polling team extends its apology to
@NBCNews
and to all those who reviewed the filled in questionnaire of our most recent survey. We made an important mistake on the filled in released today. On the multi-candidate ballot (Q8, corrected here) we flipped the numbers. President Biden is not ahead with 40% to 37% for former President Trump. In fact, Trump is ahead 40% to 37%. The correct data is reflected in the crosstabs and slides, but unfortunately these numbers were flipped in the topline document that the polling firms prepared for public release for NBC. We take full responsibility for a very significant error on our part. Deep apologies. Bill McInturff + Jeff Horwitt.

Since he was shooting prone from a roof with his feet above his head, he didn't realize this would change his aim and ergonomics. Best to close your eyes and relax and then see where your body/point of aim is actually lined up for a shot. Move your body to naturally line up a shot.

I don't think VP picks move voters. "But Sarah Palin!" McCain lost in a landslide.
VP picks are about internal party consolidation.
Trump picking Nikki (or someone like her) means that he's still trying to make peace with the GOPe. Trump picking someone more Vance-y or DeSantis-y means that Trump knows he's in control and the GOPe has to follow or get shut out completely.

Sarah Palin kept McCain competitive by shoring up his Right flank. He lost the election all by himself by suspending his campaign due to the financial meltdown, saying that he would go back to DC to negotiate a deal. That left him trusting that Reid and Pelosi would do the right thing and get a deal done before Election Day. With Obama waiting in the wings there was no way that was going to happen.
If McCain was stupid enough to leave his electoral fate in the hands of his political enemies, he deserved to lose. And he did.

Youngkin doesn't need Trump's imprimatur to be a viable 2028 candidate, and after this weekend Trump doesn't need Youngkin to win VA.

Youngkin might be my first choice for a VP, I just think he's a perfect blend of conservative bonafides but is able to package it in a moderate looking way. He's also just a capable leader if something should ever happen,
Also, if, Trump can secure VA, he's President and just blocks Biden out.
As assassination attempt changes everything electorally, but don't be surprised how quickly the public forgets. He still has to win blu-ish states.

When we treat our political rivals like they are the enemy of the state, we radicalize our country. I am very glad Trump is safe. The demonization of his image by the DNC and legacy media is responsible for the hysteria that is ripping this country apart. Now having been on the receiving end of the DNC's campaign of lies, I know most of what they've said about "Trump's danger" is an absolute falsehood. My heart breaks for the family of the individual whose life was lost at the rally in such a violent way. Let this be a lesson to all political leaders: when you dehumanize your opponent and radicalize your base, you are responsible for the violence that inevitably ensues.

Democracy: A form of government whereby the majority rules. Attitude toward property communistic. Results in license, agitation, discontent, anarchy. Mobocracy.
In any case nobody ever describes or defines this "Democracy" they keep referring to. They hate "Populism", strangely enough, which is the same thing, or near enough.

As soon as he saw Palin Mania, he didn't want to be POTUS anymore. He knew he would be a sideshow to her, and he doesn't do second bananas well. At all. His giant ego wouldn't let him hold it together until he got the brass ring.
At the end of the day, he was happier as a senior Senator from AZ than a second banana in the WH.
Besides, if McCain became POTUS he would have stamped out the last embers of the TEA Party, for the sake of the GOPe. In a strange way, it was better that we had Obama (even though, IMO, he's an even more malign figure than POTATUS is).

Ohio is in the bag for Trump and JD Vance apparently really hated Trump as late as 2016 and basically used rhetoric that even Biden would think went too far. I never remember Biden (or really any prominent elected Dem) calling Trump, "America's Hitler".
Of course I will vote a Trump/Vance ticket, just a wasted opportunity imo and gives a pass to the insane rhetoric that led to Trump being shot.

I doubt it was her (combing thru the constitution). I'm sure there's a crew of lawyers going over every word to find loop hole. Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society have been working on this for decades. Comes from the same root that gave us, "corporations are people, too".
Since Biden now has total immunity, he has to add enough justices to flip the balance. Then, there's a long list of actions to shift us back to a democracy again. Primary among these changes is to reestablish the separation of powers between the three branches of government and put some strict limits on the Court.
Of course, our upstanding (to a fault) President has to do something against his very moral nature.
These events are well timed. Before the shooting, even trumpers might consider this decision a bridge too far. But now the god emperor hero near martyr has been saved by jaysus from bad lefty assassins. So it is OK if he sells the blood of the democracy.

To anyone drawing a parallel between my film Bob Roberts and the attempted assassination of Trump, "let’s be clear. What happened yesterday was a real attempt on a presidential candidate’s life.
Those that are denying the assassination attempt was real are truly in a deranged mindset. A human being was shot yesterday. Another killed. They may not be human beings that you agree with politically but for shame folks. Get over your blind hatred of these people. They are fellow Americans. This collective hatred is killing our souls and consuming whatever is left of our humanity."

498 I think that the J6 case (Dist of DC?) and the docs case are in different Circuits, 11th vs. DC Circuit. So even a concurrence by 11th would not control DC, but be persuasive. I think then the final say is Sup. Ct.

Ed Morrisey writes, "As late as Friday, Democrats had considered Biden’s cognitive decline enough of an existential crisis that they reportedly had Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi ready to intervene. After what happened on Saturday, it’s no longer a crisis, because they apparently no longer see a way to defeat Trump — especially without their “Trump is a danger to democracy” demagoguery, which hit a fever pitch after Biden’s debate collapse.
And they can’t use that campaign now, not after Joe Biden delivered an Oval Office speech last night that demanded a lowered rhetorical temperature in American politics. Of course, this comes from the same Joe Biden that just days earlier told donors that “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” a moment that Biden didn’t mention in the speech."

Words got heated between many people, and there were plenty of jackasses deliberately stirring the pot to create more strife. I think Ace (reasonably) viewed Trump as a major liability in 2024, and he was hogging out other, better, candidates that would help conservatives now and in the future. I think he may have flirted with comments about not voting for him in the presidential, but my gut was he ended up more of a reluctant, resigned Trump voter.

Am I the only person here that read Hillbilly Elegy? You might want to give it a read. You'll see all the problems in the Rust Belt, drug addiction, hopelessness, lack of opportunities, in his own life. He served in the military, then went to Yale. Made his money as a venture funder. Moved back to Ohio and ran for office because he loves the people he grew up with. He's admitted he was wrong about Trump. Word is that he's Don Jr's pick. He's smart and articulate and so is his wife.

>>How about someone like this laying out policy?
I like Vance, but we all know if he becomes VP then DeWine will become Senator, and I can't stand that f**k.
Plus Trump already has Ohio, so he doesn't need Vance on the ticket to win it.
Strategically, picking Youngkin makes the most sense followed by Tim Scott if he thinks he can win a landslide that would generate long coat tails.

while Vance and Vivek are rhetorically good, DeSantis has a policy track record to point to, and a reputation for being anti-social and having no interest in the DC social scene while he was in Congress

Democrats don't do this.
VP doesn't necessarily mean he will be the nominee in 2028. If it's someone we don't like we will vote for a different Republican candidate during the primaries.

Through all of this, I don't get cocky and think Trump has this election in the bag. The rats are rabid and cornered and that will always be a concern.

technically . . . . Although Democracy and Populism are both forms of Majoritarianism, the difference is how many people you have to keep sweet. Democracy is the barely largest faction which does not have to be particularly large if the electorate is badly fragmented, in populism it is generally a very large section of the population since you need a buy-in from most of the factions.
Populism at least does not need the drive to break the population into tiny factions since large factions are easier to reach.

Calling him "America's Hitler" is a much different matter. And it's not like this was decades ago or he had a Damascus conversion. So again, Democrats will receive a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card with Vance on the ticket.
I think Vance is a real conservative, I just think strategically, its a bad choice.
Trump's biggest electoral problem is not working class whites that JD Vance would bring, he's got those in the bag. It's more affluent, suburban voters.

Sigh. trump is a resident of Florida. The constitution says the president and vice president CANNOT reside in the same state. Hence Rubio or Desantis cannot be the VP.
