The statute that created the job now filled by Mr. Dellinger, who was confirmed by the Senate in 2024, provides for a five-year term and says the special counsel “may be removed by the president only for inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.” But a one-sentence email to Mr. Dellinger on Feb. 7 gave no reasons for terminating him, effective immediately.
This is going to end well. Supreme Kangaroo Court will likely rule in favor of the Republicans who installed them in their position.
And Americans will complain about it but not actually do anything else.
The Supreme Court justices are installed by the president. There is no way for the people to exercise their will and remove them. They must be impeached by Congress, which is controlled by the Republicans.
Well in that case I guess there’s nothing to do but keep your head down and let it happen.
They don’t care about public opinion or if people complain about them. Ask the French what they do when their representatives stop representing.
Not one American remembers that the tool of the people is actually the threat of violence. Its why the State works so had monopolizing it.
Oh there’s a handful of ways…
…which is why the Supremes massively increased their own security budget.
All of which is in place mostly because some actively voted for Republicans and most of the rest decided they couldn’t be bothered voting
The Republicans always have a base of 20-30% that will always vote for them no matter what. They managed to stir up more of the crazies in the last few election cycles.
And the rest of eligible voters, too lazy, apathetic or just dumb
That was still my original point
The other 20-30% of the voting population went democrat and the rest decided not to vote.
Seems like we have a 3 voter system: R or D or A.
A for apathy.
let’s hope some actual evidence of “inefficiency” is needed and not just the bare assertion of it, because you know that will be the trump admin’s immediate next step
Very transparent. Much data. So wow.
The stacked court with seats they stole, who voted he’s immune from prosecution even after leaving office… I’m not holding my breath.
My guess at the Supreme Court’s bullshit response:
Failing to resign when asked is neglecting your duty.
No need to resign if you’re terminated.
Also taking the courts time is obviously inefficiency /s
SCOTUS has laid their position on this out when Biden was president.
5-46-3 the president can do what they want if it is an official act.To an ignorant serf like me it looks like they have no room to maneuver here without undoing their previous ruling.
Why would they want to undo it? Their king god is POTUS now… if there is ever a non trumptard president, maybe they’d be tempted to undo it, but that is not the case today
