Summary

The Supreme Courtā€™s handling of a case involving Trumpā€™s firing of Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel, has been described as a ā€œcompromise.ā€

Dellinger sued, claiming unlawful termination. The court, facing a split between conservative and liberal justices, opted to ā€œnot decide,ā€ holding the governmentā€™s appeal ā€œin abeyanceā€ until the temporary restraining order (TRO) expires.

This ā€œnonrulingā€ risks escalating executive vs. judicial tensions, as it provides no clear direction on presidential removal power.

While TROs remain an option, the court avoided directly challenging Trumpā€™s claims, leading to potential future clashes.

      I want to reclaim this country so bad.

      this is our homeland, weā€™re not leaving it. we might be slaves under capitalism or whatever, but I donā€™t have to be a docile slave. theyā€™re going to have to fight us for what little we have left.

      Originally I wanted to run.

      But my wife convinced me to stay and fight, or go down with the ship.

      Itā€™s going to suck. Sure.

      But myself and others are already doing more in our immediate community than we did before and I think the movement will only grow. The world may collapse around us but we can keep our community a pleasant place.

      And if multiple communities start doing this, itā€™ll grow and connect. It will matter.
