Special counsel Jack Smith appeals dismissal of Trump classified files case
The criminal case, tossed by Florida judge, accused ex-president of illegally stashing documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence
US prosecutors on Wednesday formally #appealed a federal judge’s decision just two days ago to throw out the criminal case accusing Donald #Trump of illegally stashing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence and elsewhere after leaving the White House in 2021.
The office of special counsel #Jack #Smith filed a notice in court in Florida indicating it would ask the 11th US circuit court of appeals, based in Atlanta, to revive the case and reverse the 15 July ruling by the Florida-based US district judge Aileen Cannon,
who unexpectedly decided that Smith had been unlawfully appointed in the first place by the US attorney general, Merrick #Garland.#Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by the former president in 2020 during his one-term presidency, ruled that Smith’s 2022 appointment by the Department of Justice violated the US constitution.
She argued the violation was because the US Congress did not authorize Garland to name a special counsel with the degree of power and independence wielded by Smith.
The decision shocked many legal experts and was the latest in a series of legal victories for Trump,
in his series of cases and following his conviction in a New York criminal case earlier this year.The US supreme court ruled on 1 July that Trump has broad immunity from prosecution for official actions taken as president.
The supreme court’s ruling has had a domino effect on the other charges Trump faces,
with a delay to sentencing in the New York hush-money trial in which he was convicted of 34 felonies.Trump has also used the ruling to try to block evidence and delay hearings on the election subversion charges brought by Smith.
Trump still falsely claims he won the 2020 presidential election, not Joe Biden,
claims and related actions that have landed Trump in court in Washington DC and Georgia on election interference charges.⭐️Cannon’s decision broke with decades of rulings by other federal courts that have upheld the authority of the attorney general to empower a special counsel to handle politically sensitive investigations.⭐️
The practice has been used for decades by administrations of both political parties.
Special counsels have also investigated Biden and his son Hunter Biden.But her decision aligned with arguments Trump’s lawyers have made and with Clarence #Thomas, the US supreme court justice,
who wrote in a concurring opinion to the presidential immunity ruling that the special counsel didn’t have the authority to pursue the case.Cannon cited his concurrence in her ruling multiple times.
It is part of a pattern where Thomas’s writings signal to the rightwing legal world potential strategies and theories to use in court.

The case of #JanaGonani, a #trans #woman in #Malawi, could have profound implications for the nation's anti-LGBTIQ laws. Gonani was convicted under #PenalCode #Section153(c) for an "#unnaturaloffence" in December 2021, receiving an eight-year #prison #sentence. She has since #appealed the #judgment, #challenging the #PenalCode's #provisions that #criminalize such #offenses.

Judge's Decision Would Make Some No-Cost Cancer Screenings a Thing of the Past - Scientific American
A federal judge on Thursday #overturned a portion of the Affordable Care Act that makes #preventive #services, such as some #cancer #screenings, #free to enrollees, a decision that could affect health insurance policyholders nationwide.
The decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas could open the door for insurers or employers to #reinstate #copayments for some of those preventive services, although many may be reluctant or unable to do so, at least immediately.
The ruling by U.S. District #Judge #Reed #OConnor builds on a September judgment in which he also said the ACA requirement that employers cover preexposure prophylaxis treatment to prevent HIV violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
His ruling is the latest shot in the legal battle over the ACA. “Previous cases threatened the very existence of the law and fundamental protections. This decision does not do that,” said Larry Levitt, KFF executive vice president for health policy. But “it strikes down a portion of the law, albeit a very popular one, that is used by a lot of people.”
It is almost certain to be #appealed, possibly by both sides: the conservative groups that brought the case and had hoped the decision would be broader, and the Biden administration, which supports the #ACA.

Analysis: Abortion pill access may be endangered by this 19th century law
The Wild West of the post-Roe v. Wade legal landscape is focused on a lone federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, who could use a 19th century law to limit access to abortion medication for every American woman.
The judge, 45-year-old #Matthew #Kacsmaryk, held a hearing Wednesday about whether he should impose a preliminary injunction that would require the US Food and Drug Administration to withdraw or suspend its approval of the drug, #mifepristone, while a larger case progresses.
Mifepristone is taken along with another drug, #misoprostol, as part of the two-step #medication #abortion process.
Misoprostol can be prescribed on its own, but it is considered less effective.
Kacsmaryk, who sounded open to the idea of restricting access to mifepristone, will have to agree with some or all of these general points raised if he decides to issue an injunction:
* That doctors who don’t perform abortions and live in Texas, where abortions are already banned, are harmed by abortions conducted elsewhere
* That a single federal judge in Amarillo should do what no federal judge has ever done and unilaterally rescind an FDA approval.
* That a drug, which studies suggest is on par with ibuprofen in terms of safety, is actually so harmful it should be reconsidered by the FDA.
CNN’s Tierney Sneed wrote a longer list of takeaways from the hearing, where anti-abortion rights doctors and activist groups teed up their lawsuit in Kacsmaryk’s courtroom to further limit access to abortion care in the US.
It’s important to note that no matter what Kacsmaryk does, it will be #appealed up through the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals and potentially to the Supreme Court.
But perhaps the most incredible question Kacsmaryk faces is whether an #1870s #chastity #law named for an anti-vice crusader, #Anthony #Comstock, should be resuscitated and applied to the medicine that now accounts for a majority of US abortions.
Comstock operated the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice and was a special agent of the US Postal Service. He was known for seizing contraband like contraceptives and condoms in the name of rooting out obscenity, according to the New York Historical Society.
Mary Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis who has written about the Comstock Act for CNN Opinion, described Comstock as being “obsessed by what he saw as the decaying morals of a country preoccupied with sex.”
Ziegler writes:
The law he inspired #barred not just the #mailing of “#obscene #books” but also #birth #control and #abortion #drugs and #devices.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the #Comstock #Act was used to prohibit the mailing of many literary classics, from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” to works by James Joyce and Walt Whitman
