President Donald Trump has been forced to take his fight to the U.S. Supreme Court after an Obama-appointed judge reinstated Hampton Dellinger, a Biden-era bureaucrat, as head of the Office of Special Counsel.
This latest legal battle comes after a series of judicial oversteps by the activist judiciary.
Last Friday, President Trump exercised his constitutional duty to dismiss Dellinger from his position at the Office of Special Counsel, an agency tasked with safeguarding federal whistleblowers.
Rather than accept his removal, Dellinger filed a lawsuit to reclaim his job. The case was conveniently assigned to none other than Obama-appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
Unsurprisingly, Jackson granted an administrative stay that blocked Trump’s decision and allowed Dellinger to continue running the agency.
This rogue judge went even further, dictating that Trump “must allow Dellinger to continue to have access” to the agency’s resources and forbidding the administration from recognizing any replacement Trump had in mind.
The Trump Justice Department’s appeal of Judge Jackson’s decision was dismissed by a three-judge panel stacked with leftist appointees—Florence Pan (Biden), Michelle Childs (Obama), and Greg Katsas (Trump).
