@nonayadambidnes sort of. I expect: 1) that Smith appeals to the circuit. It reverses Canon, and further supports Smith’s writ of Mandamus to remove Canon. However Trump’s team will appeal this to scotus. What is interesting is that no one joined Thomas in his concurrence that brings the issue of Smith’s status to the fore. I would not put it past this craven conservative majority to support Thomas’s opinion just because. So I consider this “hope”, but it’s risky.
