Trump admin makes emergency appeal to Supreme Court to allow whistleblower agency head's firing
[NYPOST] The Trump administration has made its first appeal to the US Supreme Court to try to oust the head of a whistleblower protection agency appointed by former President Joe The Big GuyBiden  ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... , according to a filing obtained by the News Agency that Dare Not be Named. In an emergency appeal, Justice Department lawyers have asked the high court to lift a federal judge's order temporarily blocking special counsel Hampton Dellinger from being fired. ''Until now, as far as we are aware, no court in American history has wielded an injunction to force the president to retain an agency head,'' writes acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris. The filing also cites the court's decision last term to grant presidential immunity for official acts — and claims allowing the judge's ruling to stand could ''embolden'' other jurists to hinder President Trump's agenda in pending lawsuits over executive branch staffing. Much of that effort has been driven by tech billionaire Elon Musk and his dozens of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers, who have been deputized to trim the size of the federal workforce and the scope of its spending.
