I know the deep state is arrogant and all, but they seriously didn’t think of this when starting their lawfare campaign? Damn, they are dumb.

Fantastic, hats off to Ed Meese!

There is no way in hell the DS was ever going to let this case go to court. Look at the charges:

'According to the indictment handed up Tuesday by a federal grand jury, Trump faces four charges: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.'

If this case went to trial the WHOLE world would be watching. The DS may be stupid but they know the WHs have it all. This would be a perfect platform for Trump and team to lay out all the evidence showing the True insurrection. The swamp creatures can't have that. This whole thing was a political stunt to harm Trump and it failed miserably.

It ain't a real special counsel and Smith knows it.

Nice. But now I'm wondering what executive position Mueller held when he was appointed for that witch hunt? I thought Mueller was retired when he was appointed SC, and thus, ineligible according what is stated above.

These people are stupid, as it’s been said.

Here is a copy of the amicus brief:

US Code says this (Sorry for the text wall, I posted the law as written):

28 CFR § 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.

The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and—

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.

(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.

(b) The Attorney General shall consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure that a Special Counsel undergoes an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues. A Special Counsel shall be appointed as a “confidential employee” as defined in 5 U.S.C. 7511(b)(2)(C).

There must be some conflicting law or SCOTUS would not have taken Meese's amicus brief into consideration. Enter 5 U.S.C 7511(b)(2)(C):

5 U.S. Code § 7511 - Definitions; application

(a) For the purpose of this subchapter— (1) “employee” means— (A) an individual in the competitive service— (i) who is not serving a probationary or trial period under an initial appointment; or (ii) who has completed 1 year of current continuous service under other than a temporary appointment limited to 1 year or less; (B) a preference eligible in the excepted service who has completed 1 year of current continuous service in the same or similar positions— (i) in an Executive agency; or (ii) in the United States Postal Service or Postal Regulatory Commission; and (C) an individual in the excepted service (other than a preference eligible)— (i) who is not serving a probationary or trial period under an initial appointment pending conversion to the competitive service; or (ii) who has completed 2 years of current continuous service in the same or similar positions in an Executive agency under other than a temporary appointment limited to 2 years or less; (2) “suspension” has the same meaning as set forth in section 7501(2) of this title; (3) “grade” means a level of classification under a position classification system; (4) “pay” means the rate of basic pay fixed by law or administrative action for the position held by an employee; and (5) “furlough” means the placing of an employee in a temporary status without duties and pay because of lack of work or funds or other nondisciplinary reasons.

Pub. L. 114–328, div. A, title V, § 512(c), Dec. 23, 2016, 130 Stat. 2112.] (6) who is a member of the Foreign Service, as described in section 103 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980; (7) whose position is within the Central Intelligence Agency or the Government Accountability Office; (8) whose position is within the United States Postal Service, the Postal Regulatory Commission, the Panama Canal Commission, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an intelligence component of the Department of Defense (as defined in section 1614 of title 10), or an intelligence activity of a military department covered under subchapter I of chapter 83 of title 10, unless subsection (a)(1)(B) of this section or section 1005(a) of title 39 is the basis for this subchapter’s applicability; (9) who is described in section 5102(c)(11) of this title; or (10) who holds a position within the Veterans Health Administration which has been excluded from the competitive service by or under a provision of title 38, unless such employee was appointed to such position under section 7401(3) of such title. (c) The Office may provide for the application of this subchapter to any position or group of positions excepted from the competitive service by regulation of the Office which is not otherwise covered by this subchapter.

California will welcome them with open arms.

The gutless cowards on the court will punt. Except for Clarence Thomas, they're ALL compromised.

It’s possible to read too much into this. It’s an amicus brief, so doesn’t necessarily carry any weight, is best read as “Hey SCOTUS - it’s your case to decide, but if you are interested in what I think about it….” “Accepted” just means that it’s properly filed and eventually one or more of the clerks will take a look at it.
