Trump Stands Firm: DC Circuit Upholds His Authority
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals just made a big statement. The court let President Trump’s firing of Hampton Dellinger go ahead without a hitch. This isn’t just another court decision—it’s a clear stand for Presidential authority.
The appeals court granted a motion to stay Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s order reinstating the Biden holdover. That order was trying to undo Trump’s decision. The message is loud and clear: Executive power matters.
The panel wasn’t made up of a single viewpoint. It had Henderson (a Bush appointee), Millett (an Obama appointee), and Walker (a Trump appointee). When you mix different political backgrounds, you get a decision that stands for the President’s right to fire aides for no reason at all.
Opinion to follow…
Earlier this week corrupt Obama Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in favor of Hampton Dellinger on Saturday, going so far as to declare his firing illegal. But let’s be honest—the President’s decision was founded on the plain truth of Article II.
President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) last month. This isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about defending the power an elected President wields on his own terms.
On Saturday, Judge Jackson’s order came down hard, saying the firing was unlawful. Meanwhile, DOJ counsel argued that a President can fire subordinates with no interference. They made it clear: Judge Jackson has ZERO authority to reinstate Dellinger. This isn’t just legal theory—it’s about keeping executive control intact.
Judge Jackson remained defiant and claimed Article II did not give the executive the power to fire Dellinger, Margot Cleveland, senior legal correspondent for The Federalist, said.
The DOJ lawyers didn’t back down. They appealed Judge Jackson’s order, pushing back against any judgment trying to chip away at the President’s right. This back-and-forth is more than legal sparring—it’s a battle for the future of executive authority in America.
