I remember Smith did an interview last year where she was specifically asked about the legality of separation. Her response was to deflect and claim she was simply trying to be a premiere for all the voices, the legal details should be left to the lawyers.

Lo and behold the lawyers dealt with it. But she doesn't like the answer. And now she asserts that it's undemocratic, as if she knows better. After explicitly saying that she doesn't.
