If the current scheme is unconstitutional, that has ramifications beyond Trump.  It is an important issue worthy of amicus consideration.

Such as the Hunter Biden case?

So why is there a question if already answered?

It was answered by the DC Circuit. It doesn't mean other circuits can't rule differently. And ultimately SCOTUS would have final say if it got that far.

Among others, yes. Weiss/Biden I think is the only active Special Counsel currently.  

But, at the rate we're going, there may be more.  And, if the appointments are invalid, anyone prosecuted/convicted by a Special Counsel may have some kind of redress.

I don't know who Bradley Moss but he said letting third parties opine in this particular instance is ridiculous: https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/04/politics/cannon-trump-special-counsel-hearing/index.html

"“The fact these motions are even being entertained with a hearing is itself ridiculous. That third parties are being allowed to opine at the hearing is absurd,” Bradley Moss, a national security law expert based in Washington, DC, told CNN.

This particular thing was going to have to happen (a hearing on Trump's motion to dismiss**) regardless.  Letting amicus argue isn't really a big deal in terms of time-wastage.  And actually probably increases the likelihood she gets it right.

**In federal civil cases, hearings on motions are relatively uncommon.  The judge usually decides on the briefs.  Hearings seem to be more common in criminal cases.

If she fucks this up, the government will undoubtedly appeal and the weight of authority such as it is seems to favor the government on this, as set out in Seligman's brief.  That may be the golden opportunity for the 11th Circuit to remand it to another judge.  Thousands of complaints have been leveled against her to the 11th Circuit Judicial Council, but most of them are not actionable. https://amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/06/03/politics/cannon-orchestrated-complaints-trump?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=17175189455410&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2024%2F06%2F03%2Fpolitics%2Fcannon-orchestrated-complaints-trump%2Findex.html It has become clear, if it wasn't before, that there is a public perception of her that undermines the judiciary.

I would also like to appear on this motion as a non-party how do I do that? I am happy to submit a brief provided that the court accepts MS-Paint

I think it’s funny that he’s not even bothering to change the tense, so that it might remotely make sense. I’m reasonably sure that at this point he knows who she is.

It was answered by the DC Circuit. It doesn't mean other circuits can't rule differently. And ultimately SCOTUS would have final say if it got that far.

To elaborate, we have 12 regional circuit courts of appeal that hear appeals from district courts in groups of states, First through Eleventh and DC.  The DC Circuit only hears things out of DC District Court.  The Fifth Circuit hears things out of Texas. Louisiana, and Mississippi. And so on and so forth.

A precedent from one regional circuit is not binding on another one, but is influential, at least.  The DC Circuit is highly influential on matters politico-government-constitutional because it hears more of them than any other court.

At times, the various circuits come up with pretty different interpretations and applications of the same law.  If/when that happens, a case raising that law or issue may be prime for review by the Supreme Court, "to resolve a circuit conflict."  It's one of the best reasons for the Supreme Court to take a case.

Because this is in Florida, the 11th Circuit will have to decide it.  They are pretty conservative, but it didn't help Trump in the special master case.

Abramson is full of shit.  She did not "let third parties into a criminal case."  They are not parties.  They are amici curiae, and yes, those are allowed to brief, and sometimes argue, in ALL KINDS OF CASES, INCLUDING CRIMINAL CASES - there is an actual ABA article on this from a few years ago (as in, pre-dating this case) noting that yes, amici curiae appear in criminal cases, including in trial courts.  And the family relationship of a lawyer to another lawyer is also not something courts take into account absent other circumstances - it's not a conflict of interest, per se.

Not excusing Cannon at all here - I think the fix is in, and I think she'll fuck this up.  But Abramson is flat-out wrong, and it does us all a fucking disservice when dissenting voices are so fucking wrong that I can only conclude they're being purposefully dishonest.

Probably should refer Abramson to many of entities like the ALCU doing the same.

If other lawyers want to weigh in on the case, they should speak directly with Trump's lawyers or the special counsel, depending on their view. I don't see how a court can operate by  randomly choosing 3rd parties to address the judge.

If the 3rd party lawyers want to join the Trump team, then do so officially. Or be called as an expert witness from the Trump side, and be allowed to be cross examined.

Hell, the ACLU appears regularly in criminal cases as amici curiae.  This isn't fresh powder we're skiing.

 

ETA:  Although I will say that it is somewhat unusual for amicus appearance at the trial court level.  Typically they file briefs and seek to get oral argument time on appellate issues, and their requests to appear are usually based on whether the issues are of great public importance.  I solicited several amici to brief a recent SCOTX case I had.  /csb

He still is. He hasn't given a second thought about how his Made-in-China-Trump-faced-American flag may be the same as flag burning. He thinks it's making the flag better.
