Judge Creates Constitutional Crisis To Be Cured By SCOTUS
Margot Cleveland
“It is DECLARED that plaintiff Hampton Dellinger is the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel,” and he “shall be the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel for the remainder of his five-year term unless and until he is removed in accordance with 5 U.S.C. §1211(b).”
Judge Amy Berman Jackson, a Barack Obama appointee, entered that ruling late Saturday evening in a two-page order. Judge Berman Jackson’s order then further mandated that five executive branch officials “recognize plaintiff’s title and position as Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel,” and “not obstruct or interfere with his performance of his duties.” And just like that, a mere two months into the president’s second term, a solitary federal judge created a constitutional crisis.
Consider the scenario: Donald Trump calls Hampton Dellinger, telling him “I’m firing you again.” The president then directs other officials — not the named defendants — to process Dellinger’s termination papers, to prevent Dellinger’s access to federal property or his former office, and to disconnect Dellinger’s cell phone and computer access.
