Texas AG Paxton Urges Supreme Court to Deny Politically Motivated Petition by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith Against Trump


 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joined an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States (โ€œSCOTUSโ€) opposing Special Prosecutor Jack Smithโ€™s petition that requested SCOTUS take up former President Donald Trumpโ€™s appeal for presidential immunity before a lower appeals court considers the issue.

Smithโ€™s 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.

Smith

The brief explains: โ€œThe United Statesโ€™ petition repeatedly proclaimsโ€”but never explains whyโ€”โ€˜[i]t is of imperative public importance that respondentโ€™s claims of immunity be resolved by this Court and that respondentโ€™s 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€

  1. 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?
