Summary
The Supreme Court declined Donald Trump’s emergency request to immediately fire Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel, while litigation continues.
Trump fired Dellinger on Feb. 7, but U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson temporarily reinstated him, citing legal protections requiring cause for removal.
The Justice Department argued that blocking the firing undermines presidential authority. The Court will reconsider the case after a Feb. 26 hearing.
The ruling marks the first Supreme Court response to Trump’s aggressive efforts to reshape government.
They get to interpret what an official act is, though.
Didn’t he appoint all of them though? They will Side with him on everything.
No, not all of them, and they’ve already sided against him a few times now
