Supreme Court allows official fired by Trump to remain in role for time being

Americans are expecting Donald Trump to fix America's corrupt and bloated federal government, but there have been a lot of roadblocks getting in Trump's way.

For example, Trump tried to fire Hampton Dellinger of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Unfortunately, the move has been blocked, at least for now.

According to the Daily Caller, "the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel will be allowed to remain in his position despite the Trump administration’s request to fire him."

Trump and his administration are trying to clean up America's federal government and to only spend money on things that actually benefit the American taxpayers who fund everything.

Dellinger's office is tasked with protecting whistleblowers and prosecuting misconduct in the federal workforce.

Trump's administration wanted to fire Dellinger, but a lower court temporarily reinstated him.

As a result, Donald Trump's administration filed an emergency application asking the Supreme Court to wipe the lower court's ruling on Dellinger's employment.

According to The Hill, "the court 'held in abeyance' the application until the lower court’s order expires February 26, effectively punting on whether the firing was legal and keeping Dellinger in his post for at least another few days."

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson both voted to deny the administration's request to follow through with the firing.

Conservative justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said that "they would’ve wiped the ruling reinstating Dellinger and disagreed with their colleagues that the ruling’s temporary nature meant it had not 'ripened into an appealable order.'"

"Respectfully, I believe that it has and that each additional day where the order stands only serves to confirm the point," Gorsuch wrote.

Trump has had a lot of challenges to the firings he's made in the federal workforce, but this was the first one to make it all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Do you think the Supreme Court should have allowed the firing of Hampton Dellinger right now? Or did the justices make the right decision?
