Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joined an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States (โSCOTUSโ) opposing Special Prosecutor Jack Smithโs petition that requested SCOTUS take up former President Donald Trumpโs appeal for presidential immunity before a lower appeals court considers the issue.

Smithโs effort to circumvent the standard appellate process is extraordinarily unusual.
To elevate the petition to SCOTUS before a lower court has considered the issue, the petitioner must show a clear public need for immediate action.
Smith, representing the United States government, has not demonstrated the urgency he claims justifies this attempt to bypass the ordinary appellate process.

The brief explains: โThe United Statesโ petition repeatedly proclaimsโbut never explains whyโโ[i]t is of imperative public importance that respondentโs claims of immunity be resolved by this Court and that respondentโs trial proceed as promptly as possible if his claim of immunity is rejected.โ That silence is both telling and troubling, suggesting that the United Statesโ demand for extraordinary and immediate relief is driven by partisan interests, not the public interest.โ

It suggests partisan interests, alright. I see a boomerang coming that Jack Smith isn’t expecting.

Great post! It’s interesting to see the legal perspectives presented here. Do you think Jack Smith’s argument for immediate action truly lacks genuine urgency, or are there other factors at play that we might be missing?
