Trump Gets Huge Court Victory - Two More Biden Officials Are GONE!

Appeals Court Says Trump Can Fire Two Biden-Era Appointees

President Donald Trump can move forward with firing two board members from independent federal agencies after the U.S. Court of 
Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 to lift restrictions blocking him from doing so.

The court overturned earlier decisions by two district court judges who had blocked the administration from removing Cathy Harris 
from the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board, both of whom were appointed by 
former President Joe Biden.

The appellate court, headed by Judge Justin Walker, ruled that Trump acted within his constitutional rights when he dismissed the 
individuals.

"Article II of the Constitution vests the "executive Power" in "a President of the United States" and requires him to "take Care 
that the Laws be faithfully executed." "To protect individual liberty, the Framers created a President independent from the 
Legislative Branch,"" Walker noted in his ruling, which was enjoined by Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, an H.W. Bush nominee.

The appellate court's decision followed a request from the Justice Department to overturn the lower court orders issued by 
District Judge Rudolph Contreras and District Judge Beryl Howell. On March 4, Contreras ruled that Trump had violated the law in 
his attempt to remove Harris, and two days later, Howell found that Trump had exceeded his authority in trying to dismiss Wilcox.

Biden nominated Harris to the Merit Systems Protection Board in 2022. He appointed Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board 
in 2021, renominated her for a second term in 2023, and elevated her to chair in 2024, the Daily Caller reported.

Attorneys for Wilcox and Harris urged the appellate court not to reverse the rulings that blocked their dismissals. According to 
court documents, Wilcox's legal team argued that if the Trump administration wanted to "adopt a more expansive view of 
presidential power," it should make its case before the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration, however, successfully contended that the president had the authority to remove both board members, 
asserting that restricting his ability to do so would violate the separation of powers and weaken the constitutional powers of 
the presidency.

Biden fired NLRB General Counsel Peter Robb in January 2021 just hours after taking office when Robb refused to resign. Robb 
called the move "unprecedented," writing, "The removal of an incumbent General Counsel of the NLRB prior to the expiration of the 
term by a President of the United States is unprecedented since the nascence of the National Labor Relation Act (NLRA) and the 
NLRB," according to Bloomberg Law.

In January 2023, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that President Biden had the authority to fire Robb, noting that, as 
general counsel, he served in an "at will" position. Unlike NLRB board members-who can only be removed for "neglect of duty or 
malfeasance in office" under the National Labor Relations Act-the general counsel does not have the same protections, the court 
found.

U.S. District Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee, ruled against the Trump administration, accusing her two colleagues of 
attempting to "rewrite" Supreme Court precedent.

The court win is a rare victory for the Trump administration, which has been inundated with lawsuits challenging dozens of 
presidential executive orders. One of the most high-profile cases involves Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport 
illegal migrant members of a dangerous Venezuela gang that he has designated a terrorist organization.

The administration on Friday requested that the U.S. Supreme Court intervene in the contentious legal dispute. The filing asks 
justices to reverse an order issued by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg prohibiting additional deportations under the act.

"This case presents fundamental questions about who decides how to conduct sensitive national-security-related operations in this 
country - the President, through Article II, or the judiciary," Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris argued in a filing with the 
high court. "The Constitution supplies a clear answer: the President. The republic cannot afford a different choice."

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
