Summary
A federal judge blocked Donald Trump’s attempt to fire Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), citing a 1978 law that allows removal only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”
Judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated Dellinger pending a February 26 hearing.
Dellinger called his firing illegal, saying, “The effort to remove me has no factual nor legal basis – none.”
The White House argues the law is unconstitutional, challenging limits on presidential power over independent agencies.
Just like how Indiana Jones shot three Nazis with one bullet? They just have to stand in line
That’s the kind of efficiency we need
