Clarence Thomas Goes After Jack Smith in Supreme Court Ruling
Newsweek ^ | 7/1/24 | Newsweek

Posted on 07/01/2024 9:04:17 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas has questioned the legitimacy of Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel as the Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump is partially immune from prosecution for actions taken while he was in the White House.

In a 6-3 ruling, the justices returned Trump's case to the trial court to determine what is left of special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of Trump.

I read Justice Thomas’s concurrence opinion as giving a ‘green light’ to Judge Cannon in Florida to rule that Jack Smith illegally occupies the Special Prosecutor job.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

hope you’re right on the greenlight

“””And Thomas is the justice assigned to oversee the 11th Circuit where Judge Cannon operates. Message couldn’t be clearer.”””


Thanks for that info. I did not know that.

You are confused again - no one said anything remotely racist.

The Left has always attacked Clarence Thomas, or any other black conservative who dares to leave the Democrat plantation. They call Thomas an “Uncle Tom”. They are the racists - not the FReepers on this thread who defend him.

The entire Biden Administration is looking more & more each day like the “BAR SCENE” in that movie.

HE certainly should know the COMPLETE procedure for a correct appointment.

THE FACT that he is willing to cut very dangerous corners bothers me.

HILLSDALE graduates would not work in such biased situations, IMO.

If someone, pretending to be a police officer, “arrested” someone and took them to a court I presume the fake would be vulnerable to criminal charges for the impersonation. I don’t know if something similar exists for a fake “prosecutor,” but it should! So if, as Justice Thomas suggests, Smith is a private citizen playing the role of a federal prosecutor dragging folks around courts in Florida, shouldn’t the Florida AG be able to so charge him? The fact that he is a lawyer and has been an official prosecutor in the past should make it harder for him to claim ignorance as a defense. The guy’s caused millions of dollars in damages between unneeded federal expenditures, defense legal fees amongst other harm. Plenty of folks in Florida prisons for less harm done.

I have said for weeks that this “MEDIA” is committing suicide.

THEY WILL NEVER GET THE TRUST OF THE PUBLIC BACK.

Does anyone know what he’s wearing?

Apparently that is the outfit worn by the Specialist Prosecutor of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, which is a court in The Hague that prosecutes war criminals from the Kosovo conflict. Jack was in that job 2018-2022. See here.

“the justices returned Trump’s case to the trial court”
So another words, sending it back to a lower corrupt court.

Gee I wonder how they will rule?

Looks like a character from Star Trek in that outfit

I found that women's outfits were always incredibly sexy, while the alien men's outfits were always ridiculously fruity.

Jack Smith looks like the type that would be on trial at Nuremberg and proudly proclaim he did nothing wrong.

You haven’t been following the Florida case, apparently.
