amicus brief in (Smith) US v Trump
https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-624/293864/20231220140217967_US%20v.%20Trump%20amicus%20final.pdf
"What federal statutes and the Constitution do not
allow, however, is for the Attorney General to appoint
a private citizen, who has never been confirmed by the
Senate, as a substitute United States Attorney under
the title “Special Counsel.” That is what happened on
November 18, 2022. That appointment was unlawful,
as are all the legal actions that have flowed from it,
including citizen Smith’s current attempt to obtain a
ruling from this Court".
