We are pleased to see Judge Cannon dismiss this case. If ruling the appointment of special counsel violated the Constitution, this also means that the raid on President Trump’s private property and all of Jack Smith’s actions that followed appointment were improper, as we and many others said at the time.
Specifically, Judge Cannon named the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing special counsels in the recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny.
We would add, that this and so many other actions by the Biden administration, has been a partisan witch hunt made for explicitly partisan political reasons and considerations.
All of this has happened because President Trump decided to run for president again, and Joe Biden and the Democrats knew they could not win fair and square at the ballot box. While this is not the end, it is a welcome reprieve that some fair minded Judges out there put the actual rule of law and our Constitution over partisan politics.
