In a surprising turn of events, former Attorney General Edwin Meese III, who worked closely with the legendary President Ronald Reagan, has come out of hiding to criticize how Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis interpreted the law in her case against a former Trump Department of Justice official. Meese, who has a long history of working in constitutional law, says that Willis's position is a serious violation of federal authority. And let's face it, federal dominance is a pretty big deal.

In a court filing, Meese said, "The prosecution of the President and an AAG is a major attack on federal supremacy that has never happened before in the history of our country." And he is totally right! If we let state officials go after federal officials, chaos will start to happen. Imagine if local sheriffs could walk into the Oval Office and arrest the President while he's deep in thought about important issues of state. That's ridiculous!
Meese then compares Willis's acts to those of George Wallace and Orval Faubus during the civil rights movement. He says that even though things were very bad at the time, no one was brave enough to go after President Kennedy and his Attorney General. So why should anyone try to go after President Trump and his Attorney General? It's nothing but a double standard.
And let's not forget Meese's impressive list of accomplishments. The man really knows what he's talking about. He was Reagan's Chief of Staff during his bid for president, and he was also the Attorney General from 1984 to 1988. He hasn't slowed down since leaving office. He is still involved in law and public policy issues. Meese should be listened to when he talks.
Jeffrey B. Clark, who was an Assistant Attorney General during the Trump administration, is at the center of this whole mess. The accusation says Clark wrote a letter about the 2020 election and asked his bosses to sign it. But Meese is right when he says that differences are common within the Justice Department. Clark shouldn't be called a thief just because he had a different opinion. We should encourage different ways of thinking, not punish them.
Meese also tells us that the President has the right to ask his staff for advice. In the end, the President is the most important boss. And it's up to the President to hear different points of view if he wants to. The Constitution's "Opinion Clause" gives him the power to ask his Senate-confirmed officers for their written views. So why is Willis making a big deal out of this?
In the end, District Attorney Willis's study seems to be a waste of time. She has been digging into Trump's actions in Georgia after the election like a dog looking for bones. But let's be honest: Trump isn't a criminal genius. He used to run a business, but now he runs the country. And based on what we've seen over the years, it's safe to say that this study is just a desperate attempt to score political points. So let's stop wasting time and get back to the real problems that matter to Americans!
