I Prayed have prayed
God, please protect and enforce the Constitution in America. Bring clarity to Jack Smith's appointment and guide the Supreme Court as it decided on his and Trump's requests.

As Jack Smith is asking the Supreme Court to expedite Trump’s case, some are calling into question whether he was properly appointed in the first place. What do you think?

From Fox News. Former Attorney General Ed Meese has presented arguments to the Supreme Court that they should reject Special Counsel Jack Smith’s requests because he was unconstitutionally appointed in the first place.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

Meese, along with law professors Steven G. Calabresi and Gary S. Lawson, filed a friend-of-the-court brief Wednesday to present the case that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Smith — a private citizen — is in violation of the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. …

The brief was filed in response to Smith’s request to the court to expedite former President Donald Trump’s case arguing presidential immunity for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, which are connected to criminal charges brought by Smith. …

While Garland cited as statutory authority for this appointment, Meese argues that “none of those statutes, nor any other statutory or constitutional provisions, remotely authorized the appointment by the Attorney General of a private citizen to receive extraordinary criminal law enforcement power under the title of Special Counsel.”

“Second, even if one overlooks the absence of statutory authority for the position, there is no statute specifically authorizing the Attorney General, rather than the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint such a Special Counsel,” the former AG wrote. …

Meese, who served as attorney general under former President Reagan, said “the Special Counsel, if a valid officer, is a superior (or principal) rather than inferior officer, and thus cannot be appointed by any means other than presidential appointment and senatorial confirmation regardless of what any statutes purport to say.” …

If anyone with courage & integrity is willing, at all costs, to dig into Smith to expose the trail of dirty money that continues to flow into his coffers, it will be a different “game”. Smith is corrupt to the core. But as I said, it will take someone who is not afraid to take on this pseudo Goliath.

What next ? !!
I have come to the conclusion that very little – if indeed anything at all – proposed or promoted by those of the “Democrat Party” mindset – is either genuine or lawful.
Dear Lord our God, shine your light of Truth upon these evil people who seek only their own interests and who openly defy Your Word in this Republic founded in Your Name – Amen.

This is more propaganda!

GOD FATHER, JESUS CHRIST, and HOLY SPIRIT,
Please expose all of these lies! I am claiming Luke 12:2 and Luke 8:17!
Your Word does NOT return void because You bring it to fulfillment, so thank You for exposing these lies.

In Your Name, Jesus Christ
