Ambiguously worded laws are what lawyers depend on to earn a living. Laws written in plain language would cut their employment in half. Ditto with a range in sentencing.

“Even if the Special Counsel has a valid office, questions remain as to whether the Attorney General filled that office in compliance with the Appointments Clause,” Thomas said. “For example, it must be determined whether the Special Counsel is a principal or inferior officer. If the former, his appointment is invalid because the Special Counsel was not nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, as principal officers must be. Even if he is an inferior officer, the Attorney General could appoint him without Presidential nomination and senatorial confirmation only if ‘Congress . . . by law vest[ed] the Appointment’ in the Attorney General as a ‘Hea[d] of Department.”

How many other justices joined in that concurrence?

Oh, that's right, none.

Not that you know how the Supreme Court works anyhow, so make up whatever gets you feeling all fuzzy.

Explain Article 2 section 2 and if Smith is a principle or inferior council or if he is a private citizen or a seated US prosecutor and what is his jurisdiction after being confirmed

Thing about that opinion of concurrence...

Jack Smith and the Florida case had NOTHING to do with that what so ever. There was no need for Thomas to even bring it up. But he did, to give Cannon the out she wanted.

It is up on appeal so not finalized yet . No sense getting knotted knickers until the fat lady sings . Same with Trump being a convicted felon , let’s wait until his appeals are heard and his cases are finalized . If they are upheld crow away , if overturned eat crow .
