the trump administration has requested an emergency hearing on their firing of hampton dellinger, the head of the office of special counsel, an independent agency charged with safeguarding government whistleblowers and enforcing certain ethics laws. so we will soon find out if john roberts and leonard, leo's other friends in the conservative majority on the supreme court, meant it when they effectively gave donald trump kinglike powers in the absolute immunity case. staying on the legal front, trump's former attorney from the hush money criminal trial where he became a felon, emil bove, who is currently the acting deputy attorney general, triggered multiple resignations from the southern district of new york last week by forcing prosecutors to rescind the indictment of new york mayor eric adams, which was described by some of the s.d.n.y prosecutors who resigned en masse as a quid pro quo to make adams help the administration boost their lagging deportation numbers. despite trump's almost cartoonishly villainous border czar tom homan, ratcheting up the theatrical cruelty by making sch

happened so far is that the district court, sort of the lowest court, paused the termination of hampton dellinger. well, you know, this all sort of sorted itself out and there was a discussion about whether or not president trump was able to fire dellinger at this point, the appellate court upheld that pause, said, okay, we're going to there was some dissent in the ranks there, but it said, we're going to keep this pause and let this play out, like prevent this from happening, keep the status quo. and now trump's team has brought this to the supreme court. so this is sort of the first test of them weighing in. on these really exceptional personnel decisions trump's team has made so far. >> and what does this all mean in terms of separation of powers and the test of that? >> so it's a little alarming actually. so the president certainly has broad discretion to replace personnel in this particular case. dellinger was appointed for a five year term. he has some protections awarded by congress. i think that is because of the nature of the work he does. he's essentially there to ensure they're there.

this first case that will go up to the supreme court, though, involves hampton dellinger, and he's thenited states. it's a little bit confusing. he's not a special counsel in the sense that jack smith was. he's actually the special counsel for the country. he's tasked with overseeing certain kinds of fraud, waste and mismanagement, and also with protecting whistleblowers in the federal civil service in the government. so he i think when he reached out to dodge was quite sincere. his mission is to prevent the sort of waste that they say that they are seeking. and his dismissal by the president would seem to violate the rules set down for his appointment, which say that he can only be fired for cause. but this case reaches the supreme court in a very early posture. the judge has issued a temporary restraining order that will keep him in place for just a couple of weeks, while she begins to consider the substantive issues. i don't think we'll be able to read too much into the supreme court's decision here, whatever it is, and it's very likely that they will simply take a hands off posture
