Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection, refused to peacefully transfer power after losing an election ... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"
Trump does not have authority. Trump had authority to appoint ONE interim AG for 120 days. Seigal was that one appointee and he quit (Trump says fired) because he would not do Trump's corruption. The statute backed by the constitution's separation of powers means the next appointee must come from the court.
So Comey's citing of Cannon is perfectly relevant. If both are appointed improperly the judge can toss the case. Trump's side argued this with the help of Cannon. (And Clarence Thomas)
Do you have a citation for your claim that Trump does not have Constiutional authority to appoint a prosecutor to prosecute crimes as he sees fit? You also claimed that the next appointee must come from the judicial branch. Could you point out where in the Constitution it says that. Both points are key to Corey's argument.
You aren't asking me, so I fear I'm overstepping my posting authority again by answering, but the two-part answers to your two questions are:
1.) The Appointments clause of the Constitution (which I cut and pasted and highlighted for you in post # 44369)
AND
2.) 28 USC 546 (the statutory section that is the very subject of the motion you think you are discussing)
A post about Trump's 2nd term and Booming Economy:
"The total number of U.S. jobs lost in 2025 is difficult to state precisely, as it is a dynamic figure influenced by different data points. However, a private sector analysis from Challenger, Gray and Christmas reports over 946,000 job cuts in the first three quarters of 2025, with another forecast from CBS News predicting that total job cuts could surpass 1 million by the end of the year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also noted an annual revision that reduced job creation estimates by 911,000 jobs for the 12 months ending March 2025, indicating a significant slowdown in job growth."

We had 2 million deportations / self-deportations.

Not sure we can trust whatever the BLS is saying at this point after Trump fired the head of BLS because he didn't like the numbers.
Anecdotally things are not great on the job front.
