Obama Judge Unfires Agency Head

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The likelihood is that Trump will prevail on this one. If you look at the trajectory of the five major cases addressing this issue over the last century (Humphrey's Executor, Morrison, Free Enterprise Fund, Seila Law, and Collins) the arc is clearly toward the view that the president's authority to fire executive branch members can't be constrained under the Constitution.

Contract and Case Law will be impediments.

The courts where that is relevant are addressing it.

How do the courts address anything when they don’t know if they even have jurisdiction?

So, pknopp doesn’t know. As expected.

Why?
Do you really believe the Pentagon, and all DC agencies should have a total change of employees every time a new president is elected?
How would that make things "better" since then clearly it would violate the 1st amendment on protecting political beliefs?

So what if they do?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Well actually Obama did not "shut down" oil drilling in the Gulf, but he did reduce it by more than half.
However, that likely was due to the mistakes being made with such deep drilling, like the Deep Water Horizon accident that allowed huge contamination and cost billions.
There is no way to safely drill that deep since the pressure are so great, and the drilling rig is not secured.

Nor is lots of drilling necessarily a good idea until the rest of the world's cheap oil is used up first.
Only then should we be looking at drilling what little reserves we have left.
Save our oil for when it is much more expensive.

He still put people out of work, then there's Biden shutting down the XL pipeline. Did the bureacrats stand up for the thousand citizens who lost their jobs?

Justify it however you want, it doesn't change the fact that people lost their jobs and the bureacrats didn't say shit. So ****'em. I have no sympathy for them. Now they know what it's like out here in the real world.

Everyone knows there has always been civil service protection against the arbitrary firing of government employees.
If not, then candidates could use those 3 million jobs as bribes for votes and campaign contributions.
There always have been and need to be civil service protections of most federal positions.
The only ones normally up for grabs are the heads of agencies where they influence policy and would be expected to be based on voter results.

No, you can be terminated from your civil service position. I saw it while I was employed by the feds.

Trump asks Supreme Court to fire ethics chief as mass purge runs into legal roadblocks​

This time, the Big Orange Bopper, is asking permission.

Why can't people follow rules.

"Donald Trump’s administration is asking the Supreme Court for permission to fire an ethics chief as the president and Elon Musk move quickly to gut the federal workforce, including agency officials and watchdogs.

The top official at the independent U.S. agency that protects government whistleblowers and enforces ethics rules sued the administration this month after he received an email from the president simply stating that his role is “terminated, effective immediately.”

Chief of Office of Special, Hampton Dellinger, is trying to see what he can get away with in firing folks. The time he is trying the right way.

A lawsuit from Hampton Dellinger, who leads the Office of Special Counsel, is one of at least three legal challenges from government officials testing the president’s authority to oust the heads of independent agencies.

Dellinger’s case at the Supreme Court could serve as an early test of the new administration’s authority as the president and Musk signal their willingness to obliterate checks and balances and reject court orders that don’t align with their agenda.

​

But he's asking for permission after he's already wrongfully ousted Dellinger?

He's answering a lawsuit........

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

So anyone that gets fired can get their job back? Only in the ******* government.

Workers who are wrongfully fired can sometimes get their jobs back if they are able to sue their former employer and win.

Not just government workers, all workers.

 

[Concerned American]

But he's asking for permission after he's already wrongfully ousted Dellinger?

When did you become the judge and jury? Wrongfully? On what do you base this observation?

 

[Rawley]

But he's asking for permission after he's already wrongfully ousted Dellinger?

You're begging the question.

 

[BluesLegend]

If only Biden had done it by the book

This is classic Democrat double standard. Biden flat out ignores the law, ignores the courts, ignores SCOTUS decisions and runs amok, total crickets from Democrats. But when a Republican is in the White House Democrat assholes demand that the Republican follow the absolute letter of the law.

This is why I hate Democrats they are so full of FAKE and FAUX and BS!

But he's asking for permission after he's already wrongfully ousted Dellinger?

He is trying to repair his error, unusual for him.

You are not. Run along.

More lawfare. Big deal.

This particular book starts at Article II

"Judge to Trump-terminated ethics watchdog: You’re un-fired
Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger won an order allowing him to remain in his job for now.
A federal judge reined in President Donald Trump’s firing spree Monday, ruling that a federal ethics watchdog can return to his job for at least a few days while the judge receives more detailed legal arguments about the case.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued the reprieve to Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger, after he sued to contest the Friday night email he received from the White House indicating he’d been dismissed from his position. Dellinger, an appointee of President Joe Biden, is just one of various officials across the government whom Trump has tried to fire in recent days. Some of them are covered by federal statutes that limit the president’s authority to dismiss them.

Although his title is special counsel, Dellinger’s position is different from the more prominent special counsels who prosecute politically sensitive cases for the Justice Department. Rather, Dellinger leads an independent federal agency that handles whistleblower issues and complaints about violations of the Hatch Act, which limits political activity by government employees."

Now the judicial tyrants of the Left will try to block Trump at every turn as he tries to bring down the deep state.
The Demcorats claims about respecting democracy were just lies. Trump won democratically, but they will try to thwart the will of the people.
