Supreme Court Could Fire Jack Smith from Special Counsel Role

Justices on the United States Supreme Court appear to be considering that Jack Smith could be fired from his powerful role as special counsel on the Jan. 6 case.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas appears to be open to the idea that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was unconstitutional.

The SCOTUS is currently hearing arguments from President Donald Trump’s lawyers that his alleged misconduct was covered by presidential immunity.

Furthermore, Trump’s lawyers are arguing that Jack Smith’s appointment as a special counsel is illegitimate on constitutional grounds.

During a hearing, Thomas asked Trump’s attorney John Sauer:

“Do you, in this litigation, challenge the appointment of special counsel?”

Sauer responded by saying that they “have done so in the Southern District of Florida case.”

“We totally agree with the analysis provided by Attorney General Meese and Attorney General Mukasey,” he added.

Meese and Mukasey are former attorney generals who filed an amicus brief on Trump’s behalf.

Thomas’s inquiry makes it clear that he has read the brief.

It also suggests that Thomas is considering the possibility that Smith’s appointment violated the Constitution’s appointments clause.

If Thomas is asking these questions, it is very likely that the rest of the Supreme Court’s bench will be considering these arguments as the case goes on.

The appointments clause states that the president “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States.”
