in World News DC Circuit Court CRUSHES Hampton Dellinger with Decision Even Though He Fought to Stop Court!
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision in the Hampton Dellinger case even though he did everything to stop the court.
The DC Circuit court judges Henderson (George W. Bush appointee), Millett (Obama appointee), and Walker (Trump appointee) ruled against Dellinger.
The Appeals Court, citing Seila Law and Collins, claimed the government satisfied its burden and said it would likely succeed in arguing the US President has the power to remove the head of an agency with a single top officer.
“On the first factor, the government has satisfied its burden. “[T]he Constitution prohibits even ‘modest restrictions’ on the President’s power to remove the head of an agency with a single top officer,” the judges wrote.
(“[T]he President’s power to remove ‘executive officers of the United States whom he has appointed’ may not be regulated by Congress or reviewed by the courts.”) they said.
“Accordingly, the government is likely to succeed in showing that arguments about the scope and functions of the Special Counsel as a sole agency head do not affect the President’s removal power,” the judges wrote.
The judges also agreed with the DOJ judges and said the government sufficiently demonstrated that Hampton Dellinger exercised enough authority to contradict Trump’s directives.
