The Trump administration will ask the United States Supreme Court to revoke a ruling from the lower court that ordered a vigilant dog of the government ethics to restore his position after the president dismissed him.
Hampton Dellinger, leader of the Denaclientes Protection Agency, the Special Advisor Office, sued the Trump administration after being fired this month.
A district judge had ordered Dellinger, a designated Biden, who was temporarily restricted during the ongoing legal procedures. A panel of the United States Circuit Court of Circuit in Washington, DC, denied the Trump administration application to cancel the order of the district judge for procedural reasons on Saturday.
The Department of Justice plans to raise the case to the Supreme Court, asking him to intervene allowing the administration to keep Dellinger out of work while the litigation is carried out, according to a copy of the application provided by an official of the Department of Justice. The application has not yet been set forth in the Supreme Court.
The application argues that the actions of the lower courts limited the ability of President Donald Trump to administer the executive branch and that “preventing him from exercising these powers, thus inflicting the most serious injuries in the executive branch and the separation of powers.”
“The United States now seeks the intervention of this court because these judicial decisions irreparably damage the presidency by reducing the president’s ability to administer the executive branch in the first days of his administration,” said the application, which was signed by the interim general lawyer Sarah M. Harris.
The Department of Justice also argued that the presentations of the lower courts in multiple cases “are entrusted into a host” of Trump’s constitutional powers.
“This Court should not allow the Judiciary to rule by order of temporary restriction and supplant the political responsibility ordered by the Constitution,” said the request.
Dellinger said in his lawsuit this month that he was fired illegally.
“That email did not try to meet the protection to eliminate special cause of the special lawyer,” the lawsuit said. “He simply stated: ‘On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I write to inform him that his position as a special advisor to the United States Special Advisor Office is completed, immediately effective.”
The massive firms of the Trump administration and attempts to reduce the size of the federal government have been applauded by fiscal conservatives, but criticized by Democrats, unions and progressive organizations.
