Was Jack Smith’s Appointment Legit? Sharia Law Infecting America, Trump’s Terrible Green Card Plan

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss the constitutional problem with attorney Jack Smith's appointment to be special counsel on the Trump cases, the dangers in the U.S. and beyond stemming from radical interpretations of sharia law, and Donald Trump's crazy proposal to grant green cards to all foreign graduates of U.S. colleges.

First, Andy walks through the legal and political problems surrounding ack Smith's appointment to special counsel in the Trump cases concerning classified documents and January 6. Such appointments must either be made by the president or permitted by statute, neither of which is the case in this instance. Andy also points to the inconsistency in Smith's claim that he is closely supervised by Attorney General Merrick Garland and AG Garland's claim that he does not interfere with Smith's activities.

Next, they walk through the perils that radical proponents of Sharia law pose to the western world, from virulent anti-Semitism to the Taliban pushing to keep Afghan women off of the UN council on Afghanistan. Andy hammers home that radical sharia law is antithetical to Western values and to democracy, and that we must recognize this reality, not gloss over it.

Finally, they raise their eyebrows at Donald Trump's radical proposal to grant green cards to all foreign college graduates. Andy and Greg emphasize the importance of dealing with the border crisis before making plans to grant foreign nationals a right to remain in the country.
