“Am I reading too much into Snyder v. US to see it as another slap at Jack Smith (echoing the 8-1 McDonnell smackdown)?”
That’s a interesting viewpoint. I’ll have to read the opinion and let that thought simmer a while.
From scotusblog:
Report from Mark Walsh, who is now back from the courtroom. Justice Alito was in the courtroom today, but Justice Gorsuch was not. (Justice Gorsuch has a lot of opinions left to write — perhaps this is the equivalent of skipping class to work on your overdue paper?)
After a little coffee, Make that 8-0 … lol
If anything, this court is even less Jack Smith-friendly than the Rehnquist court.
