It's a huge loss because the Special Counsel's job was to ram this case through the biased DC Courts in time to label Trump a convicted felon before the election. They have nothing else to run on.
Who gave Smith super powers to go after a private citizen?
***** Supreme Court case against Smith
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

Well I have a question for lawfags. In reading the SCOTUS response, they plainly state that Smith is not legally appointed. Shouldn't that throw out any and everything he's filed?
If you read up a bit from page 31, they DO state that he is not legally appointed - needing presidential appointment and Senate confirmation. And besides that, the position would need to be created. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
If by "they" you mean the former AG of the US Ed Meese (from Reagan admin) and a couple of law professors then yeah. But I think you think SCOTUS wrote that. SCOTUS did not - it is an amicus brief.
In my limited knowledge of the US legal system and the case in question, I do believe if Trump wins he could pardon himself and make it all go away. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Law is unsettled on that. Theoretically he could pardon himself on any Federal Cases but not any of the state cases. No president has ever been stupid enough to try that. His popularity would take a huge hit, and as we've seen before the House would just impeach him for something and this time the Senate would convict him and boot him out. That's likely why Biden hasn't tried to pardon any of his family yet, but he absolutely will before he leaves office.
Beer for everyone 🎉👍😳 God Bless President Donald Trump, his wife, family, legal team, friends, Q followers, most of all his security team and their families too, God Bless America and you the reader Too. 🙏

SCOTUS didn't say that, Trump's lawyers did
Neither said that. Read the first page.

Ok - for everyone here. SCOTUS did not say anything other than what is in this image from TechnoFog's tweet. https://nitter.net/pic/orig/media%2FGB-fKBbWwAATlB8.png
Former AG Edwin Meese wrote that as a friend of the court.
Thanks -
Now, can we get the supreme court to give us a quick decision on whether or not Jack is qualified to be taking Trump to court?
Illinois would first like an injunction on the "assault weapons" ban that's about to make millions of people felons on Jan 1st.
