Over the past couple of years and multiple decisions one thing is becoming very obvious
The Supreme Court is sick and tired of the Congress abdicating their duty and responsibility as a branch of the government
Thomas Opinion is blatant for them to get off their arse and do their job

Thomas to Dems and Smith -
“You have no power here!”

Judge Thomas just nuked Jack.

I think I had an argument with SFP on this exact point recently.
It wasn’t at all clear that the AG can appoint a special prosecutor without authorization from Congress.
Now it’s clear they can’t.

Schmuck is at the horns of a dilemma here.
Smith either has always been able to do this and doesn’t need “advise and consent” or they need to do so now and it makes everything done to this point retroactively the fruit of the poisoned tree IMHO.

Garland, a person the left thinks should be on the court, is showing just how inept the left is.
He isn't inept. He knows exactly what he is doing and doesn't care if the law is on his side. It's what dems do.
Even if/when it all gets thrown out millions will still have in their head that Trump did something wrong due to the dems tactics.

A lone concurrence does not establish this.
This case could go to the court down the road and end up 8-1, with Thomas being the only dissent.
My argument has always been based in actual rulings on this issue. Thomas's concurrence is not a ruling.

No, I think they are tired of the executive branch overstepping there authority. We don’t need more laws, we need executive to operate within the framework of our constitutional republic.IMHO

Has Slo showed up yet to call SCJCT an imbecile and legal neophyte yet?

Could it hypothetically? Yes
Would it realistically? Absolutely not.
Bottom line is the thin ice that AG appointed special prosecutors had is now an iceberg on an 80 degree day.

No. Congress did not renew the Independent Prosecutor statute in the late 90s. What exists now are Justice Department Regulations made by janet Reno where the AG appoints the Special Prosecutor.

I think it was just a blantant lawfare and the attacks on the justices trying to threaten them in a favorable ruling. While it’s also clear no matter what they do the left will always try to take them out.

I could see 7-2, with only Thomas/Alito agreeing. Maybe 6-3 with Gorsuch, but I'm not really sure of his history with this sort of appointment.
Based on rulings as justices, I don't see Roberts, ACB, or Kav touching long-standing precedent

You're the idiot that would argue that for Plessy/Korematsu, etc.
It may be only a concurrence but im sure 3 justices feel that way. If Barrett or Kavanaugh do - you are the idiot.

Youre fricking retarded. We wish you would stop posting your dipshit opinions.

It's been a bad week for you liberals.
