Late on Friday night, Special Counsel Jack Smith and former President Donald Trump submitted a joint status report detailing their clashing proposals for how the prosecution of the former president for his attempt to reverse the results of the 2020 election should proceed.

On Monday, in an opinion that was shocking both for its reasoning and its timing, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Mar-a-Lago classified documents prosecution against former President Donald Trump. She declared that Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel is unlawful under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Even given Cannon’s clear bias and reckless handling of the case from the outset, this development is jaw-dropping.

Jurisprudence With all the focus in recent weeks on President Joe Biden’s age-related limitations, it’s worth remembering that Donald Trump’s incessant falsehoods and self-proclaimed desire to be a dictator on Day 1 make him far more unfit for the presidency.
