On Tuesday Chief Justice Roberts ordered fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger to respond to the Trump Administration’s application to the Supreme Court.
Hampton Dellinger must respond by Wednesday.
President Trump on Sunday filed an emergency appeal with the US Supreme Court after corrupt Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated Hampton Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel.

President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a couple of weeks ago.
Trump appointed Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins to take over Dellinger’s job as the Special Counsel.
Shortly after the firing, Judge Amy Berman Jackson sided with Hampton Dellinger, issued an administrative stay, and allowed him to keep his job.
“Trump must allow Dellinger to continue to have “access” to the agency’s resources and cannot “recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel” while the order remains in effect, Jackson wrote,” according to Politico.
Amy Berman Jackson entered an administrative stay rather than a TRO which made appealing her decision tricky.
The Trump Justice Department immediately appealed Judge Jackson’s administrative stay anyway.
The DC District Circuit Court of Appeals last week dismissed Trump’s appeal of Judge Jackson’s administrative stay and kicked Dellinger’s firing back to Amy Berman Jackson.
Amy Berman Jackson granted a longer extension to fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger so Trump took the fight to the Supreme Court.
Justice Roberts gave Hampton Dellinger until Wednesday to respond to Trump’s application for stay of Judge Jackson’s reinstatement order.
