Mr. Hampton Y. Dellinger is a Democratic politician. From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Dellinger worked as a lawyer on the staff of the Democratic Governor of North Carolina, Mike Easely. Later, Mr. Dellinger ran for Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina in 2008. He ran as a Democrat in the Democratic Primary and lost.
Mr. Dellinger also worked at the law firm of Boies Schiller Flexner, LLP. David Boies, a lawyer who has represented Democratic politicians in election cases, was a partner at the firm. The firm represented Al Gore in the Bush v. Gore election case.
In October of 2023, President Biden appointed Mr. Dellinger as Director of the Office of Special Counsel. The Office of Special Counsel has roles in overseeing the federal Merit Personnel System. In 2024, the Office of Special Counsel had approximately 128 employees. Mr. Dellinger had a salary of about $220,000.
Mr. Dellinger’s nomination was controversial. The Senate barely confirmed Mr. Dellinger in February of 2024; the senate confirmation vote was 47-49.
After Trump was elected in November of 2024, a number of Biden officials voluntarily resigned from their government jobs, as is customary for White House appointees. But Mr. Dellinger wanted to keep his gig and he refused to leave.
On February 7, 2025, the Trump Administration fired Mr. Dellinger. Mr. Dellinger filed a suit to enjoin his termination. Mr. Dellinger filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The case was assigned to Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Judge Jackson was appointed by President Obama.
In two-page order, Judge Jackson ordered the Trump Administration to keep Mr. Dellinger in his job pending further litigation. The Trump Administration appealed and the case wound its way up to the United States Supreme Court. On February 21, 2025, the Supreme Court upheld Judge Jackson’s ruling. Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Samuel Alito dissented.
There is a hearing in the case of Dellinger v. Bessent, et al. scheduled for Wednesday, February 26. One of the questions before the court will be whether a president has to pay a political opponent to serve in key federal role. The case will be heard by Judge Jackson.

This is how you stack the deck.
According to the Constitution, unless he's in the Judicial or Legislative branch, he's in the Executive branch, and all power in the Executive branch flows FROM the POTUS. Either the president has the power, or the position is unconstitutional. It is that simple.
yup the dems are so desperate they have thrown out the constitution to try to delay the inevitable.
no one cares obama appointed him - no one cares he has been on the job a minute he wouldn't do the job like trump wants him to - later
the person one president can hire

How the hell did the Supreme Court rule as it did?! Amy Coney(Commie) Barrett.
