Biden ethics enforcer Hampton Dellinger fired back at President Donald Trump on Tuesday over his request to the U.S. Supreme Court to boot him from his post at the Office of Special Counsel, blasting it as “uniquely weak” and condemning Trump’s effort to declare a “five-alarm fire” in his termination case as having “no merit” after his administration was swatted down by multiple judges this month.

“The government seeks to collapse the jurisdictional and merits inquiries — or, at minimum, to leverage its merits arguments into a basis for exercising appellate jurisdiction over an otherwise unappealable order,” Dellinger’s lawyers argued in a 42-page opposition filing. “The Court should reject that maneuver, which would open the floodgates to many more fire-drillTRO appeals and which is particularly unjustified in the context of this litigation.”
