It turned out that Joe Biden made history by firing all Trump’s appointees to nonpartisan service academy boards before their statutory three-year terms ended. It was unprecedented. It had never happened before.

Then Spicer got a call from America First Legal. They asked him to join a lawsuit intended to force Biden to argue he has the absolute authority to fire anyone in the Executive Branch, including appointees to boards with statutory terms.

The District Court dismissed the case, interpreting the statute in a way that allowed Biden to fire Spicer despite this three-year term. They appealed. In the meantime, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled, in a parallel case (Severino v. Biden), that a presidential appointee in a similar position was removable at will by the President.

And it was done. ...

In other words, drawing a few obvious inferences, Trump began working on this plan immediately after Biden took office in 2021.

While corporate media was busy calling Biden’s historic 2021 firings a routine housecleaning, President Trump’s legal teams were already laying a legal landscape for his second term. Spicer’s case wasn’t about getting his job back—it was about setting a legal precedent to let Trump clean house on day one of his second term.

Biden fired Spicer, AFL sued, and the far-left DC courts predictably ruled Biden could fire termed federal employees at will. Now Trump can fire them at will, too.

This wasn’t just a lawsuit; It was a strategic booby trap—forcing Biden’s own DOJ to argue on the record that the President has unlimited authority to remove Executive Branch appointees, even those with statutory terms. They fell right into the trap. ...

They thought they were cleaning house. Instead, they were clearing the runway for Trump.

When the slender, 18-story San Francisco office tower debuted at the corner of Mission and Seventh streets nearly two decades ago — one side sheathed in glass and the other featuring an undulating, perforated metal screen — it was deemed a bold and forward-thinking architectural statement by its owner, the federal government.

But the 640,000-square-foot building at 90 Seventh St. — formally renamed the Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building last year — has drawn the ire of Republican detractors in recent years over its design and the grim street conditions around it.

Now it is one of two cornerstone federal government properties in San Francisco’s Mid-Market and Civic Center neighborhoods that could be on the chopping block as part of an effort by newly elected Republican President Donald Trump and billionaire associate Elon Musk to shrink the size of the federal government — and its real estate — in the name of efficiency, the Chronicle has learned.

Is it possible to die from too many erections?

President Trump to sign an executive order that would for the first time make English the official language of the USA.

The administrative court thing was decided last year by SCOTUS (reference to Gorsuch on SCOTUS). The Solicitor General is simply reiterating their judgement.
