On Sunday, the Trump administration filed an appeal with the Supreme Court, aiming to secure permission to fire the head of the federal agency dedicated to protecting whistleblowers.
The emergency appeal, obtained by The Associated Press on Sunday, could likely be the start of a steady stream of court filings by lawyers of President Donald Trump and his administration aimed at reversing lower court rulings that have delayed his priorities for his second term in office.
The appeal seeks to prevent Hampton Dellinger from resuming his role as the head of the Office of Special Counsel.
A lower court judge previously temporarily reinstated Dellinger to his position, which he was appointed to by former President Joe Biden. Now, the Department of Justice is calling on the high court to lift the judge’s order.
Dellinger has argued that by law, he can only be dismissed from his position for job performance problems, which were not cited in an email dismissing him from his post.
The Trump administration’s petition came hours after an appeals court refused to lift the order on procedural grounds, which was filed last Wednesday and is expected to expire on Feb. 26.
The case is not expected to be placed on the docket until the Supreme Court returns after the Presidents’ Day holiday weekend. Once filed, the earliest the justices will be able to act will be Tuesday.
Dellinger sued the Trump administration in D.C. federal court last Monday following his firing on Feb. 7.
No judge at any level except the Supreme court Judge should be able to stop a presidential order. These politically swayed judges are ruining our justice system. They should be disqualified and removed from the judicial system. They are creating unconstitutional law and it is wrong.
The entire judicial system, including the SCOTUS, is so corrupt and politicized that there’s no telling what roadblocks will be thrown under the Trump train to prevent transparency. The leftist resistance is comprised of full-blown communists who are incorrigible domestic enemies/traitors who need to be prosecuted and executed. The damage to America at their hands can be documented and proven in a tribunal dedicated to the focus on the acts of traitors within our government. If our nation is to clean out the corruption and prevent further damage, there needs to be swift justice carried out beginning at the highest ranks down to the lowest ranks.
Every other President has fired flunkies from the other party, upon taking office. But Trump can’t?
That is because judges that deserve impeachment were not opposing them
Insubordination would come under job performance.
Do so Yes

FALSE. He seeks a ruling that the President doesn’t need permission to fire ANYONE in the executive branch.
