[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct me if I’m wrong, but Justice Thomas didn’t know what docs were in the national archives? And in the released texts between Meadows and GT there are no emails dated in December and January?

We don’t know and he didn’t care to explain his dissent in the case. He can choose to present his case and explain why he dissented or leave it open for interpretation. The simplest reason for remaining quiet is that he knew he was protecting his wife and people associated with both of them. [/quote]

Assuming you are saying that he should explain his dissent now, rather than having an obligation to write something then, you are probably right.

But just to say, Justice Thomas has always taken a particularly expansive view of executive power, including executive privilege.  A dissent in this case makes sense, given his jurisprudence.

This is not to say he wasn't influenced by the specific facts.  He may have been.  But the "simplest explanation" could also be that he disagreed with the ruling as a matter of law, and written dissents are not all that common when ruling on a application to stay a mandate.

Yes, nothing to see here, people, the wife of one of the nine most powerful people in the US fomented an armed insurrection of the government. Move along.[/quote]
