    You are not acting as does the court in the broader context. And yes the president may do all that. And while we normally request he document it formally, there is no law requiring so.

    I would not normally engage with common people over such things but I’m quite curious how y’all come to your conclusions and intuitions. And it’s almost always because you cannot scale your understanding to that of national matters.

    No they were’nt fine. The court has determined, (thanks to decades of work by the Federalist Society) that the use of “lawfare” to circumvent the people and the legislatures must end. And the court is gradually, incrementally, reversing the capacity for activists to use lawfare (weaponization of the law) to circumvent the people the legislatures and the constitution and its intents.

    Ending this process of circumvention by weaponization of the institutions for political purposes is the origin of the contentious decisions by the court. The court is correcting seventy or more years of abuse of the constitution and the court’s doing a rather exceptional job of it from my rather informed perspective.

    THE LEGISLATIVE AND RESULTING COURT CONFLICTS SEEK SETTLED LAW NOT EXPEDIENCY
    The american method of law politics and law is messy precisely because the people and not the government are sovereign, and because the sovereignty of the people requires both rules (natural law) and processes (constitutional law, common law, and institutions of government).
    This messiness (which the world mocks us for) requires a great deal of trust that eventually we will figure things out. It does not mean we will do so quickly or coherently.

    THE COURTS ARE A MARKET FOR GRADUAL PRODUCTION OF SETTLED LAW BY FILTERING UNSETTLED AND UNSETTLEABLE LAW
    The court will, if possible, allow the public and the legislature to work through these issues, and then the courts themselves will conduct debates if necessary. The reason being that the court was not mandated to, and wishes not to, be used to bypass the people and the legislature and therefore bypass tests of ‘concurrency’ that will result in ‘settled law’, and instead prefers to only clarify any dissonance or confusion between the BODY of law and the individual CASE or class of cases before the court.

    This is what’s called ‘common law’ or ‘the empirical method of legal discovery’ – in other words, we use science: adversarial competition using evidence and reason to create a market for the discovery of ‘settled law’ within the limits of ‘natural law’ which is the basis of our constitution.

  • REGARDING THE CANNON DECISION ON THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR’S TRUMP CLASSIFIED DOCUM

    REGARDING THE CANNON DECISION ON THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR’S TRUMP CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CASE
    The Court seeks to produce narrow rulings and technical rulings wherever possible, in the context of the extant corpus of law, continuing their mission to prohibit bypassing the people and the legislatures through legal activism (“Lawfare”).

    Judge Thomas wrote a concurring opinion in a separate case that raised questions about the constitutionality of special counsels like Jack Smith. This opinion apparently gave Judge Cannon guidance on how to approach the Trump documents case. And Judge Thomas wrote a concurring opinion on Cannon’s ruling as well.

    The ruling by Judge Cannon on Special Prosecutor’s case against Trump over Documents is a narrow technical ruling directed to the appointment of a special prosecutor for the purpose of lawfare without constitutional authority to do so. It compounds the previous ruling on immunity of presidents for actions in office.

    Both rulings seek to preserve the established and long standing precedent that we must not cause presidents fear of doing what is necessary, nor demand that presidents be superhuman and infallible.

    I concur since (and this is part of my job) the Court would prefer to accelerate the process rather than require the time and expenditure of resolving all these cases that are categorically ‘Lawfare’ and all of which violate the prohibition on prosecution of presidents by other than impeachment by the senate. I further expect the NY case that contrives a misdemeanor with no victim rarely prosecuted and if so with a fine of less than one hundred dollars, into a pretense of a felony. At that point I expect the court will see it’s duty to suppress the lawfare related to trump fulfilled, by means of technical rulings that avoid the necessity of legislation from the bench.

    Unfortunately, public intellectuals, but a tiny minority of members of the legal profession (unfortunately), the commentariat, politicians, and the common people are rather uninformed and unskilled in constitutional law and the tremendous burden the court bears in preserving our rule of law by the natural law of individual sovereignty and responsibility, by tests of commonality in judgement, and concurrency in voting whether for representatives or by representatives.

    The Court is attempting to reverse the abuse of the constitution, the law, and our institutions, by the postwar leftist activists use of ‘Lawfare’ – which has resulted in political division, class sex and race conflict, and what the court considers the worst of all, the combination of ‘unsettled law’ and ‘delegitimization of the branches of government’ made possible by circumvention of the demand for concurrency among the people, the states, and the legislatures.

    If you do not grasp the terms ‘sovereignty of the people, not the government’, and ‘the demand for concurrency among classes and regions’, and ‘the natural law of individual sovereignty in one’s demonstrated interests, reciprocity in display word and deed, and duty to commons before self’ then you do not understand the meaning of Rule of Law, Republic, or Democratic Voting within a republic, as defense of minority interests from the masses, and NOT majority rule.

    Of course. But it is still a legal document, still insured by the state, and meaningless without the permission of that insurer. There are no exceptions to violence determining control.

    Wouldn’t have thought of that but yes it’s another example of the same pattern. I can’t remember what we call it in our work on the law, but it’s in the same category as pilpul.
