Supreme Court declines to immediately allow Trump to fire Copyright Office director Shira Perlmutter.

The Supreme Court denied the Trump administration's emergency request to remove Shira Perlmutter from her position as Register of Copyrights while litigation continues. The unsigned order allows a D.C. Circuit ruling reinstating Perlmutter to remain in effect and explicitly states the decision is not a ruling on the merits. Perlmutter argues her position is legislative, while the administration contends it performs executive functions.
