Thank you, page 31, CONCLUSION Not clothed in the authority of the federal govern- ment, Smith is a modern example of the naked em- peror. Improperly appointed, he has no more authority to represent the United States in this Court than Bryce Harper, Taylor Swift, or Jeff Bezos. That fact is sufficient to sink Smith’s petition, and the Court should deny review. We express no views on the merits issues addressed in Smith’s unauthorized petition.
