Late Saturday, Washington D.C. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law in firing Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel. Jackson’s decision is forceful, well-written, and arguably wrong under existing precedent. Indeed, it may have just set up an appeal that both presidents and professors have long waited for to reinforce presidential powers.

Meanwhile ship the clown federal employee to an Antarctica science station.
I do not want to see his face in DC for one more day.
I’m going to lay a bet that Jackson has good dirt on Roberts that will sway his actions. She is pretty sure and cocky about this.
The Constitution says Executive Power is vested in one President, not a pinochle Judge in DC.........
It is because the higher courts wou,don’t hear pres Trump’s case because lower courts had not ruled yet, now he can bring the case to the Supreme Court and get a ru,ing on it that if favorable will settle somewhat what a president has power to do, and what courts are not allowed to do concerning presidential powers. This needed to go to the Supreme Court for this reason, but sadly, even though “conservative judges” hold the majority on the court, it does not mean that they are all true conservatives, and they might rule agaisnt pr3s Trump and agaisnt presidential powers In General.
So you think that Rat Party Headquarters will back off? Yikes! Do you still believe in the Easter Bunny as well?
Meant to say, it needed to go to SC because lower courts are severely abusing their powers to over-ride lawful orders by the president, and it needs to stop- lower courts need to be slapped down for abusing their positions- however, Wil. The sc do the right thing? That remains to be seen
Some judges prove that they should not be in any sort of position of power or influence.
Direct link to the original below. Let’s not give MSN clicks, advertising revenue and tracking help, and save ourselves from their annoying layout. I found the article with just search for “fox news jonathan turley” easy peasy.
Will SCOTUS do the right thing? Probably, if it was anyone other than Trump as President. Since it’s Trump, they have to ways to torpedo him. Either refuse to here the case and take the easy way out or hear it and Roberts and his four gal pals will uphold Judge Jackson’s ruling. I don’t expect SCOTUS to give Trump a win.
Agreed! They have violated their oath to judge fairly and Impartially.
Im not holding my breath that is for sure. In fact I will be shocked if they do rule in his favor
Roberts has been in pretty good on restoring presidential power over executive branch agencies (sounds utterly stupid writing that). I think he understands that at some point if the the agencies, and the toady lower courts supporting them, not reigned in, they will be ignored. It wasn’t going to happen with a socialist president since they were aligned. But with a national populist prez it will. The SC will clean this up or Trump will break the judicial system.

...3. The President is empowered by the Constitution to remove any executive officer appointed by him by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and this power is not subject in its exercise to the assent of the Senate, nor can it be made so by an act of Congress...
You're counting on the Supreme Court???
It is going to boil down to this. Who does Roberts think holds the most dirt on him. Trump or Jackson. Whoever is holding the most dirt will prevail.
BTTT
Of course a president can fire a special counsel.
Amy Berman Jackson‘s son referred to her as, “white, liberal, and Jewish.”
