As it turns out, firing the head of the Office of Special Counsel was illegal.

Of course they appealed. It's what they do. Keep appealing until the case lands before a court friendly to the regime.

A federal judge ruled Saturday that President Donald Trump’s firing of a federal workforce watchdog was illegal — teeing up a Supreme Court showdown over the president’s claim to nearly absolute control of the executive branch.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson concluded that Hampton Dellinger — confirmed last year as head of the Office of Special Counsel — may continue to serve his five-year term despite Trump’s effort to remove him from the post via a brusque email last month.

Let's look a this from the standpoint of what is best for the country.

Jackson ruled that Dellinger’s duties, which include holding executive branch officials accountable for ethics breaches and fielding whistleblower complaints, were meant to be independent from the president, making the position a rare exception to the president’s generally vast domain over the executive branch.

Doesn't it make sense for someone in a position of "holding executive branch officials accountable for ethics breaches and fielding whistleblower complaints" should only be able to be removed for cause. I mean, what's the point of having a gatekeeper in charge of preventing unethical behavior on the part of the executive branch if he or she can be fired for doing their job?

The same question can be asked of DoJ officials and FBI agents. Doing your job, no matter who it relates to, should never result in being fired. The subject of investigations should not have the power to fire the investigators. Surely we can agree on that.

Who says it was illegal, a liberal judge? What do you think the Supreme Court will say?

Fuck that federal judge. She's obstructing a president from carrying out his duties as POTUS and interfering the with the operation of the federal government that pays his salary. The US Court of appeals lifted this judges lame injunction and allowed the firing to proceed.

Hampton Dellinger has dropped his lawsuit and remains fired despite what this renegade judge says.

Congress can’t design a law that is repugnant to the Constitution

Yet they do. The constitution was written for citizens of the USA. Laws or legislation passed giving my money to foreigners are unconstitutional.

Congress is making us, work for Africa. It is modern day slavery, taking my money/labor and giving it to foreigners

Are laws still a thing with this administration?

Nope
