On Tuesday Chief Justice Roberts ordered fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger to respond to the Trump Administration’s application to the Supreme Court.
Hampton Dellinger must respond by Wednesday.
President Trump on Sunday filed an emergency appeal with the US Supreme Court after corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel.
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) a couple of weeks ago.
Trump appointed Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins to take over Dellinger’s job as the Special Counsel.
Shortly after the firing, Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, issued an administrative stay, and allowed him to keep his job.
“Trump must allow Dellinger to continue to have “access” to the agency’s resources and cannot “recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel” while the order remains in effect, Jackson wrote,” according to Politico.

So… Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I’m confused.
Why would Roberts do this except that he's working for the other side... as many believe...
Wow, Chief Justice Roberts has gotten involved.
_________________________________________
And even better.... He made the right ruling.
Unbiased judge responding to appeal, or appealing itself, or representing the governmentduring the appeal??
Seems like a circular circuit judge.
Looking good.
or his ego does not allow him to just accept a lower court judge to get to do what He should have the right to enjoy.
... He made the right ruling.“
He did? This looks to me like he is giving the scumbag a chance to provide cover to rule against Trump.
Too confusing for me!
Me too.
It does give Justice Roberts an immediate means of ruling on the issue after Dellinger files a response.
If Roberts rules against Dellinger, all of the current Democrat lawfare is dead.
If Roberts rules for Dellinger, the Trump administration is dead from a thousand cuts by injunctions from every one of the Democrat judges in the Federal Courts. Or Trump can simply refuse to obey any of the Court rulings.
We will all know pretty quickly how this is going.
Maybe. But at least Roberts didn’t just ignore Trump’s appeal and let ABJ’s order stand.
Did Roberts have to do anything? Couldn’t he just sat, and the guy would have kept his job?
I believe that's yet TBD.
Why pick this case?
That bothers me.
Out of all Trump has done that has met legal challenges, this one does not seem the one that legal precedence should be set on.
In general I trust the court, but the court is no longer Roberts court.
I fear he may using his power as Chief Justice to frustrate the will of the court which he no longer represents.
Roberts knows right now that if he holds against Trump, he is validating judicial interference against the executive branch on a permanent ongoing basis. We’ll see how much authority he is willing to steal.
The judicial branch only has the authority to hear and decide legal questions, not political ones.
Legal questions are deemed to be justiciable, while political questions are nonjusticiable.
Roberts better send a memo around to every judge in the federal judiciary, in that all his democrat district courtg judges must have been napping during Con Law II, as eagerly as they have allowed themselves to become involved in disrupting the operation of the executive, a co equal branch of government.
Roberts is compromised- we’ve pretty much discussed that to death here over the years.
Never know what Trump knows.
It is obviously a good thing for Roberts to do this.
If he didn’t want it to happen, all he had to do was nothing.
When the court takes action like this, it is a good sign they think the ruling or injunction is questionable.
“validating judicial interference against the executive branch on a permanent ongoing basis. “
Then Trump can validate executive branch interference against the judicial branch on a permanent ongoing basis. Turnaround is fair between branches.
