And Congress (I think you actually mean Senate) didn’t approve Bua, Wilkey or Lacey as special counsel. (All were appointed by Barr in the same manner as Smith.)

Sounds like nobody challenged it or the prior courts had a different opinion.
Cannon got this from Thomas. So I expect this to go up the court system

Multiple folks have challenged it, every ruling prior to this had ruled that this was a nonsense claim.
We both know it’s not actually a constitutional challenge, it’s a delay in the hope trump wins the presidency and can, once again, avoid repercussions for his actions.

SCOTUS may have a different take this one. Maybe not. To me it’s telling only Thomas wrote about it.
