Not unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that unelected bureaucrat, Hampton Dellinger, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel head has more unilateral power within the executive branch of government than President Donald Trump. [RULING pdf HERE]
This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen. The collective belief is that in the modern “continuity of government” framework, the bureaucracy of government controls things, not the elected and plenary President.
Basic constitutional civics has been destroyed in the modern era by progressive advocacy saying the executive branch is an omnipotent organism that is not controlled by the duly elected President of the United States. Current Lawfare activists and activist judges seek to retain this bastardized view of constitutional government.
Let us hope the Supreme Court finally puts an end to decades of this ridiculous nonsense. The earlier ruling in the Presidential Immunity decision indicates SCOTUS is positioned to do exactly that.
(Via POLITICO) – A federal judge ruled Saturday that President Donald Trump’s firing of a federal workforce watchdog was illegal — teeing up a Supreme Court showdown over the president’s claim to nearly absolute control of the executive branch.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson concluded that Hampton Dellinger — confirmed last year as head of the Office of Special Counsel — may continue to serve his five-year term despite Trump’s effort to remove him from the post via a brusque email last month.
Jackson ruled that Dellinger’s duties, which include holding executive branch officials accountable for ethics breaches and fielding whistleblower complaints, were meant to be independent from the president, making the position a rare exception to the president’s generally vast domain over the executive branch.
Dellinger’s “independence is inextricably intertwined with the performance of his duties,” Jackson wrote in a 67-page opinion. “The elimination of the restrictions on plaintiff’s removal would be fatal to the defining and essential feature of the Office of Special Counsel as it was conceived by Congress and signed into law by the President: its independence. The Court concludes that they must stand.”
[…] Less than an hour after Jackson ruled, the Justice Department appealed her decision to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. (more)
It’s worth remembering, the basic construct of Lawfare is not necessarily to win the final legal challenges – Lawfare is designed to shape public opinion, impede the target and advance an adversarial narrative.
Nothing surprises me anymore. Now is the time to rectify all these unconstitutional behaviors… and if not done… we are lost.
babylonbee.
It’s time to arrest and charge Judge Jackson with seditious conspiracy or insurrection.
If only the Constitution would allow that. In any case, something needs to be done and soon. We can’t have these far-left, loony activist judges stripping our President of his constitutionally granted powers.

Ukranada is a threat to democracy.
“39-year-old Canadian-born Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, the first Muslim and Arab DC judge, clerked on the Supreme Court of Canada and later led a radical leftwing group that called for defunding the police.
“In the lame-duck session after Democrats lost the White House and Senate on November 5, 2024, Senate Democrats confirmed Ali on November 20 with a vote of 50-49.”

We will have whatever the Roberts Court says or even whatever it doesn’t say that we will have.
So far, the Roberts Court is in the corner sucking its’ collective thumbs.
LawFare wins.
IMHO, Roberts is compromised, hugely, and as a result, the court will continue to play fast and loose with the Constitution. Maybe the Epstein rumors will be true, leading to his resignation or impeachment. Either one works for me.
Actually it does, but they don’t want you to know that. It’s part of the limited in limited immunity. The appearance of being nonimpartial is enough. The far left is terrified that their end runs around the Constitution will be spotlighted.
Judge Jackass
When members of the Senate are absent when foolish judges are promoted to such positions as Ms. Jackson holds, this is the outcome. They are set in place and it is not good for the country. During this past year, two judges were given a seat at the table (I can’t remember their names at this time), however, I remember at the time being frustrated that there was no push back to their appointments. The Senate has a job to do and setting the stage for our government to fail isn’t one of them.
“The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1804
“Corrupt judges, or judges so blinded by their hatred of me and my political ideology to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” are making a mockery of the United States Judicial System, and the World is watching in disgust.”

…or extend a digit and say, “No!” She’s NOT POTUS…simply stop pretending she is and IGNORE HER. It’s called “nullification”. NO ONE is obligated to accept an Unconstitutional action. NO ONE!
It helps to be serious when having these discussions. The judge is a left wing stooge, but that’s not grounds for imprisonment. As the article states, lawfare is a political weapon and must be overcome politically. Yes, the Supreme Court must overturn this idiotic ruling with absolute clarity. Apart from that, Trump must educate the public on the enormous danger of the judiciary usurping either the executive or legislative branch’s powers. That’s part of his job. Remember, Trump isn’t just the POTUS, he’s the leader of a movement. The stakes are so much higher when you take on that role, but so are the opportunities.
Bubbling underneath all the lawfare the probationary employees in another case are all embeds designed to hurt Trump and the players in this case are part of a plot to get Trump using Dellinger and the Merit Protection Service Board (MPSB). Trump fired all the players but the judges are trying to stick them back into place. They’re basically trying to run the same playbook as the Ukraine phone call impeachment, but Trump fired their Vindmans and Ciaramellas.
If America worked as it was intended, Vindman and Ciaramella would’ve been tried and jailed for 20 years.
Vindman. A Russian citizen in the US military working for Zelinsky and potentially in line to become the Ukrainian defense minister. Betrayed President Donald Trump.
And those who refused to intervene on behalf of President Trump and the Constitutional Republic they were sworn to protect, are also guilty of gross dereliction of duty. Maybe even treason.
“…the probationary employees in another case are all embeds designed to hurt Trump…”
We elected the President in November of 2024. The probationary employees were hired up to two years ago. Your comment infers TPTB knew that President Trump would win the election, so they put people in place ahead of time.
Not buying this theory.
Your a step to shallow.
The plan was to keep a steady supply of stay behind disruptors appointed, then in place, to permanently impede anyone opposed to the agenda.
Demon nailed it.
Revise to: “You’re a step too shallow.”
Otherwise, it makes no sense.
Don’t be so quick to discard such a theory.

If you think they weren’t filling slots w/fellow travelers, then I have a bridge to sell you.
And yeah, I understand that you have a relative in that probie position.
Understand this: the President is trying to break up an evil cabal in DC. Downsizing FedGov is vital to that.
Your relative will survive.
The sly are always wholesome to the sly.
That’s not what the Supreme Court said! The president IS the executive branch!
And that’s exactly what our Constitution says.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good Andrew Jackson imitator.
Maybe it’s time for Trump to go outside the box and send one to Dictator Berman’s courtroom with a plastic sword, (along with some Jean Lafitte pirates), to get through the metal detector, a dismissal notice for the watchdog, an amicus curiae that she’s out of her lane, and a love note telling her to enforce her ‘executive ruling.’
Trivia: Andrew Jackson is only the second president of which there is an actual photo (J.Q.Adams POTUS #6 was the first) – Google it. He was almost dead but you can still the fire in that sumbitch, our 7th president.
Never been a fan of AJ. He didn’t take kindly to my Native forefathers.

It turns these judges into martyrs however, some of them have to be impeached. She would be a good place to start.
WHATEVER it takes, these clowns must be removed. If not, we just reorganizing the deck chairs. I’m betting most of our citizens would support that. These demons are sitting in some judges quarters somewhere, drinking, laughing their asses off.
It takes a lot and a long time. Which is why it’s never done.
Maybe we can find a mechanism to……short circuit…..the process.

So what happens if President Trump sacks every Judge below the Supreme Court?
and every single ‘gubmint’ department?
President is over the Executive branch, not the Judiciary
Congress could impeach. But the better strategy is the one Kelly proposed, eliminate the entire DC court, via statute – only takes 51 votes and could be done in that reconciliation procedure.
These Pinhead judges will pretend, only in the case of President Trump of course, that they don’t know what the word “plenary” means, and they’ll have to get back to us later…like 10 years!

Obama appointed her.
So NOBODY can fire this guy, then… that’s entirely nonsensical from a “how to run an organization” perspective……

Is the President compelled to adhere to a court order if that order is illegal?
Nobody is. Illegal and unconstitutional rulings are null and void. He’s using the process as a tool to end the madness.
Also, FJB.
I hope that the President will demand that someone in Congress file a Judiciary Reform Bill.
The bill should:
It would seem the amazing Trumpian superpower of exposing evil and corruption has yet to reach its apex. First term and the years after, he fully exposed the media, Democrats, Congress, and much of the intel/law enforcement corruption. Second term, he’s exposing the Judiciary to the fullest along with the whole circulatory system by which the leftist blob funds itself nationally and internationally at America’s expense.
It reminds me of someone hunting scorpions with a black light. I wonder how much more there is to expose.
This opposition is to wake the normies up. Folks are coming to realize just how much power the President has always had but once again….you were never told. Trump is a Supreme Allied Commander recognized as much by all World leaders. The illusion of a World in chaos is to defeat an enemy unseen…spiritual in nature with a force of Global minions/manchurian candidates and or blackmailed into submission to do their bidding to destroy not the World but most of humanity…..

John Kiriakou on Whether the Scheming John Brennan Will Face Justice
How soon before the WH appeals this to SCOTUS and how do we wait for a decision?
They appealed immediately.
Run out the clock. That is the DemocRATic strategy . They believe they will regain control of the Congress in 2026 – and they will if Trump does not fix the election system. When will the Supreme Court take charge of the court system ? Oh, they may not – I seem to recall a John Roberts flew to Epstein Island.
That is what we elected Donald Trump to put an end too. Of course the bureaucracy is fighting back they do not want to lose their power. The cowardly Supreme Court has to get off their collective asses and put a stop to this subversion. Do the Justices understand if Trump loses they are next? Schumer already tried under Biden with his oversight of Ethic for the Supreme Court Justices by Congress. And if the liberal justices think they are safe forget it, they tried to force both Ginsburg and Sotomayor off the court because they were afraid Trump would get to nominate the new Justice.
The Constitution did not describe any “executive authority” that is “independent of” the President. Nor, for that matter, did it ever contemplate the Judicial role that the Courts simply “assumed unto themselves” in Marbury v. Madison and other similar “cases.”
The Constitution simply says that “The Executive Power is vested in a President.”
But, we know that a showdown is coming. It could happen in the SCOTUS, or it could happen “Andy Jackson style.” Or, both.
This had to happen to get the SCOUS to rule and put it to bed
time for this judge to hang….. dissolve the court with majority vote in congress, screw impeachment dems are nothing but tyrannical nazis, fascists, commies, POS…hang them too while we are at it….
Show me the man (woman) and I’ll find the crime or some such. Isn’t it about time that our side starts looking for the crimes these judges have committed. As for the supreme court, they’re like the elusive butterfly. Only seen at rare occasions and then quickly is gone.

All this old ‘new deal’ way of thinking – that congress can create these – 4th branch abominations.
I think we have found our official US government paper clip counter. A very important job since we are looking for cost savings. I’m sure he can quit his job if he doesn’t like his new job responsibilities.
And the judge can be his assistant to make sure he counts every one and fixes the ones that are bent. And no, you can’t make paperclip chains.
Ok, so he has to be kept on as the Office of Special Counsel. Can’t fire him but why not re-organize the department around him? That most certainly is within the rights of the Executive.
Just ignore these demon judges. If we don’t, it’s all over.
It is difficult to keep a Republic. The enemies within are much more dangerous than the enemies on the outside.

I will be watching Viva Barnes tonight on rumble, the best legal podcast I have ever seen! The judge should take her robe off and run for office if she wants to be political. These judges can be impeached but the uniparty doesn’t want the average Americans to know that.
This judge needs to be impeached immediately, she does not understand the constitution and her ruling just makes the President a figurehead, her order needs to be appealed immediately and she needs to be removed from the bench!
Let’s see if this was anticipated at Mar-A-Lago over the last four years. The Sean Spicer firing suit taken to the Supremes in 2021, knowing he would lose but getting the court to rule POTUS (Biden) can fire anyone in the Executive Branch. Trump has used that ruling to shut the left’s sue frenzy over firings. This suit will force the Supremes to rule on Article 2, which gives Trump the advantage to shut up this bureaucrat usurped power over the executive branch, a power the Constitution specifically prohibits via Article 2’s plain language about the executive branch. We’ll see.
