The left in America -- ya know, the folks who say everybody that disagrees with them is a "threat" -- does not believe in the rule of law.
There are so many questions that remain unanswered.
However, the topic of this missive focuses on the 93-page decision issued on Monday by US District Judge Aileen Cannon. She ruled that the DoJ-appointed special counsel, Jack Smith, was unconstitutional based upon the Appointments Clause of the US Constitution. Notice I did not use the Biden reference of a bullseye. Needless to say, the progressive socialist left is in an apoplectic meltdown.
Just to inform you, our astute readers, the Appointments Clause is found in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution. It reads:
“He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he 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, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”
The “he” refers to the President of the United States since Article II of the Constitution enumerates the powers granted to the Executive Branch. The bottom line is that as part of our system of checks and balances, the Congress, namely here, the US Senate, has a role in these appointments. As well, Judge Cannon ruled that Smith’s elevation violated proper appropriations since the American taxpayer was footing the bill for his “lawfare.” There had been no lawful appropriation of such; this is a sound constitutional ruling, but that means nothing to the left.
The left in America, ya know, the folks who say everybody that disagrees with them is a threat, does not believe in the rule of law. They only want rule and will achieve such by judicial activism. When a court gives them what they want, it’s hoorah. When a court constitutionally denies them what they want, then it is all about stacking the SCOTUS or viciously attacking a jurist. Let us not forget the assassination plot against Justice Kavanaugh. And I am quite sure there are plenty of threats being levied against Judge Cannon, the least of which is demanding her removal from the bench.

The world needs faith and spirituality, and Jesus alone is not the answer because the stories of Sumer brought over by Abraham are only one chapter of the human spiritual journey. Many of Jesus's teachings are more ancient than he was at the time, and the humans before him also had enlightenment in other parts of the world. Their spiritual accomplishments and teachings should not be diminished, and would not be diminished by a true spiritualist.
Jesus alone is not the way forward for four fifths of the humans on planet Earth. if the mindset is all those other billions of people are just lost souls who need to find Jesus, we are worlds apart from ever coming together as a unified human race. Jesus as the sole basis of everything may work for some humans, other humans have different beliefs and they should not be treated as idiotic, completely wrong, or as the enemy for having such views. I thought our Bill of Rights protected all spiritual beliefs, so long as they do not hold the rape of children and live sacrifices as a core belief, or other nutty crimes.

The Senate didn't confirm any of those examples of appointed Special Prosecutors and Investigators
I believe they were Senate confirmed, but for different appointments.
The idea people are implying is: Once confirmed within The DOJ, You are confirmed for anything within The DOJ.
Keep in mind it's all about legal precedent, not assumptive unconstitutional wishful want lists.
Can you quote the parts from Cannon's Ruling that is going to get appealed for the strongest ?
§ 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.
