It took 158 years to overturn separate but equal.
58 years. And Plessy was overturned by SCOTUS, on the strongest of constitutional grounds. Not remotely comparable to the weird hair-splitting of some District Court lackey Trump himself appointed. The hubris of a lower court judge overturning the SC is breathtaking and you know it. This is exactly the kind of partisan crap that you yourself have acknowledged can erode confidence in the legitimacy and independence of the judiciary. If Biden had somehow gotten a lower court judge to override the SC on his own behalf, you would be howling like a banshee.
ROFL!
The Constitution is what it is.Justice Cannon and her interpretation of the Appointsment Clause overturns no SCOTUs ruling on record.
Nope.
Supreme Court, during the Nixon prosecution, explicitly acknowledged the power of the attorney general -
Under the authority of Art II, s.2, Congress has vested in the Attorney General the power to conduct the criminal litigation of the United States Government.
It has also vested in him the power to appoint subordinate officers to assist him in the discharge of his duties.
Cannon casually tosses that off as dicta. She is wrong - the special prosecutor authority to subpoena Nixon was at issue, and the authority was dependent on prosecutors very existence.
So, Cannon mos def is flipping off Scotus.
