Laurence Tribe: Jack Smith should appeal immediately, has strong case to have Judge Cannon removed [View all]

Link to tweet

Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️
@tribelaw

Judge Cannon just did the unthinkable: She dismissed the Trump classified documents case on the repeatedly rejected basis that DOJ violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause by appointing Special Counsel Smith at all! DOJ must appeal right away. On SCOTUS, only Justice Thomas took that view in Trump v. United States. This finally gives Jack Smith an opportunity to seek her removal from the case. I think the case for doing so is very strong.

Tribe is right. BUT Tribe isn't a maga 6 justice, is he, and won't consider their overruling the 11th, ancianita Jul 15 #23
