It’s not exactly news when former President Donald Trump’s legal team moves to dismiss the charges filed against him, either by special counsel Jack Smith or other parties.
However, it is news when part of the motion is specifically tailored for Smith, noting that his close ties to the Democrats and the attorney general made his appointment a mockery of the special counsel system.
Furthermore, the attorneys argued that “Article III courts” — known more colloquially as “constitutional courts” — “cannot sit in judgment directly over the president’s official acts, and that any attempt to do so violates the separation of powers.”
“In Marbury v.

"If one free man, an original sovereign, may do all this, why may not an aggregate of free men, a collection of original sovereigns, do this likewise? If the dignity of each singly is undiminished, the dignity of all jointly must be unimpaired. A state, like a merchant, makes a contract. A dishonest state, like a dishonest merchant, wilfully refuses to discharge it. The latter is amenable to a court of justice. Upon general principles of right, shall the former, when summoned to answer the fair demands of its creditor, be permitted,..."
Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 U.S. 419 (1793)
This exposes the smear merchants even more.
It's why they don't cover it in Law School....ALL start with your citation.
Interesting opinions none the less.
FISA works both ways and that needs to be considered.
