Summary

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow the firing of Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), a whistleblower protection agency.

A lower court had temporarily reinstated Dellinger after he challenged his removal, arguing he could only be fired for cause. The Justice Department contends the ruling improperly limits presidential power.

The case reflects Trump’s broader efforts to reshape the federal workforce and could set a precedent for executive authority over independent agencies.

The Supreme Court may take up the case after the holiday weekend.

    Dark money pays off.

    I despise Republican, but the long game the conservatives played to making court their rubber stamp worths learning from.

      I’m just floored the Democratic Party did absolutely fuck-all about it for so long (seriously, like for decades).
