text:  Hi, Anthony. Hey there. Hey, so what do we know about why Judge Cannon dismissed this case? Give us a sense of her reasoning. Right. Well, as you said, Judge Cannon says Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland was unlawful. She says that it violated the Constitution's Appointments Clause. The appointment of an officer like Jack Smith, she says, who has kind of the authority and independence that he has, his office has, she says, is the purview of Congress, not the Attorney General.
