This wasn’t a slip. It was a tell. Jack Smith didn’t misunderstand the Sixth Amendment—he tried to rebrand it. When prosecutors start claiming ownership of a defendant’s rights, you’re no longer in a justice system. You’re in a power system. Speedy trial exists to protect the accused from the state, not to help the state kneecap a presidential campaign. Smith’s theory turns liberty into logistics and rights into scheduling tools. That’s not constitutional law—it’s lawfare. And every member of Congress knew it the moment he said it out loud.
Another excellent post. To add to your reasoning, the Bill of Rights largely itemizes individual rights, not government ‘rights,’ powers, or privileges. I didn’t watch his testimony but now I have to watch him say that the Sixth Amendment rights granted to individuals is also a government or some collective ‘right’ to be used against individuals. If our media was 1 percent objective, they’d call out this malarkey as quickly as they insist the Constitution somehow enumerates birthright citizenship, but I digress.
Amazing how you can explain ‘the law’ so eloquently, but Jack Smith only makes a mockery of the law. Jack Smith should be impeached/disbarred and indicted for his criminality in charging Trump.
Thanks. The ICC background and perspective of this scoundrel have not been sufficiently highlighted in most discussions, and I appreciate your mentioning it & explaining implications. We need to root out all traces of deference to external philosophies alien to American values embodied in our Constitution.
It's really time for Jack Smith to be disbarred. And, given his history of prosecutorial misconduct, review all the cases where he has gained convictions.
First rate analysis as usual.
Thank you. His testimony didn’t sound correct.

ONEWAY jack
This will be in the Larwyn's Linx roundup tomorrow, but I did change the headline a bit.
"Disgraced Scumbag Jack Smith’s Speedy Trial Theory Collides With the Constitution"

Hang 'em high.

Great points. Also, how goes the physical fitness?
Jack Smith is a hired hand of the Deep State. Charge him.
Well said.
