Can this be overturned by a higher court, that also has the power to remove her from the case entirely? I'll be watching LegalEagle youtube channel since he covers a lot of this.
Obviously hoping that if Trump wins she will be overturned, and if not, then not.Judge Cannon has got to be the worst judge ever to make the Federal bench. And I must warn you, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Regardless, after she got humiliated by the Appellate Court, one would think she'd shy away from grandiose rulings. Is she even able to make this ruling? It isn't as if this is some Ken Starr investigation that after 36 months they found Trump had a document in his possession illegally.
If SCOTUS allows this to stand, it might be time to leave.
What I don't get is that SCOTUS kind of gave the Exec Branch a Star Power powerup. And now she rules they don't have power.article said:In a ruling Monday, Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution.
“In the end, it seems the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing ‘regulatory’ special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny,” Cannon wrote.
Surely this should provide the circuit court cause to dismiss her as the judge. Alternately, she has basically ended the case, so the charges can be brought again with a different judge.
Maybe you'll live long enough, if you're like, 12.It will take the DoJ a while to figure out how to react. Garland is known for being slow and cautious about everything he does. I hope I live long enough to see justice done in this case.
Has congress at some time vested this power to the president? I would think so given all the special counsels we've had in the past.Here comes the Constitution said:He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
E.g. that young Crooks fellow.Not everyone has someone to remind them to check themselves before they go down a rabbit hole or waste their personal power
Some day, IF Biden wins. Maybe.Surely this should provide the circuit court cause to dismiss her as the judge. Alternately, she has basically ended the case, so the charges can be brought again with a different judge.
I gave up on the documents case a long time ago. We knew that Cannon was an incompetent ideologue and we know there's no bottom to what right wing authoritarian followers are willing to do in order to usurp power over our country.
As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.'s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia "Perfect" Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden's Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again!
"In Trump's immunity ruling, Justice Thomas all but invited Judge Cannon to find Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed as special counsel," MSNBC's Adam Klasfeld commented. "Cannon noticed."
The special counsel's team can appeal the ruling to the 11th Circuit and ask for a new judge, but the process will further delay a case that was already unlikely to go to trial before November.
If he succeeds, he ought to insist on a non-Trumpie judge.A spokesman for Smith said the Department of Justice later Monday had authorized the special counsel to appeal Cannon’s decision tossing the case to the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
“The dismissal of the case deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue that the Attorney General is statutorily authorized to appoint a Special Counsel,” said Smith’s spokesman Peter Carr.
