They have been in effect for 30 years, maybe longer, under both parties.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Meese, however, in his briefs filed in several points in the Trump cases, argued that &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meese\u2019s brief was even mentioned in a question by Justice Clarence Thomas in the Supreme Court oral arguments over Trump&#8217;s presidential immunity in Smith\u2019s other case regarding 2020 election interference, which the high court is expected to decide this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Presenting arguments on June 21 in Florida on behalf of Meese will be Gene Schaerr; Josh Blackman on behalf of Professor Seth Barrett Tillman; and Matthew Seligman on behalf of constitutional lawyers, former government officials, and &#8220;State Democracy Defenders Action.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is a breaking news story.
