奥巴马任命的一名法官阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统解雇法院任命的华盛顿西区美国检察官罗杰·罗格夫,命令司法部承认罗格夫为合法官员并恢复他的服务能力。
An Obama-appointed judge blocked President Donald Trump from firing court-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington Roger Rogoff, ordering the Justice Department to recognize Rogoff as the rightful officeholder and restore his ability to serve.
“这是一名激进法官的又一项裁决,试图阻挠特朗普总统的议程并破坏他的宪法权威。美国律师的服务是总统的意愿,”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯(Lauren Bis)告诉福克斯新闻数字台(Fox News Digital)。
"This is yet another ruling from an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s agenda and undermine his constitutional authority. U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.
斯坦利·巴斯蒂安法官于2013年首次获得奥巴马提名,他发布了一项初步禁令,恢复罗格夫的职务,并禁止政府将他视为被合法免职。该裁决引发了一场关于总统是否可以解雇联邦法官任命的美国律师的法律斗争。1979年司法部的意见和2000年联邦上诉法院的裁决都得出结论,总统拥有这一权力。
Judge Stanley Bastian, who was first nominated by Obama in 2013, issued a preliminary injunction reinstating Rogoff and barring the administration from treating him as having been lawfully removed. The ruling sets up a legal fight over whether a president can fire a U.S. attorney appointed by federal judges. A 1979 Justice Department opinion and a 2000 federal appeals court ruling both concluded that the president has that authority.
司法部快速反应账户写道:“我们不同意这一决定,并打算立即寻求中止并将提出上诉。”
"We disagree with the decision and intend to seek an immediate stay and will appeal," the DOJ Rapid Response account wrote.
特朗普政府在西雅图任命美国律师后解雇了他一些法律专家和保守派律师在社交媒体上严厉批评这一裁决,认为它侵犯了总统对行政部门的宪法权威。
TRUMP ADMIN FIRES US ATTORNEY IN SEATTLE MINUTES AFTER HE WAS APPOINTED Some legal experts and conservative attorneys took to social media to sharply criticize the ruling, arguing it infringes on the president's constitutional authority over the executive branch.
“另一项无法无天且危险的裁决。违反三权分立。由另一位民主党活动家法官撰写。这次?西雅图奥巴马法官斯坦利·巴斯蒂安,”第三条创始人兼总裁迈克·戴维斯写道。
"Another lawless and dangerous ruling. Violating the separation of powers. By another Democrat activist judge. This time? Seattle Obama Judge Stanley Bastian," wrote Article III founder and president Mike Davis.
“民主党法官亲自挑选了他们自己的美国律师。总统通过司法部长解雇了他。根据宪法第二条,总统显然拥有解雇司法部官员的行政权力,”戴维斯补充道。
"Democrat judges handpicked their own U.S. attorney. The President, through his attorney general, fired him. Under Article II of the Constitution, the President clearly has the executive power to fire Justice Department officials," Davis added.
戴维斯还指出,巴斯蒂安的名字在顺序中拼写错误,漏掉了斯坦利的“e”。
Davis also noted Bastian’s first name was misspelled in the order, missing the "e" in Stanley.
“罗杰”奥巴马法官对特朗普选举规则的镇压引发白宫副总统的不祥谴责“联邦法官在命令中拼错了自己的名字。这就是你如何知道这是优质的法律工作,”一位用户写道。
'ROGUE' OBAMA JUDGE'S SMACKDOWN OF TRUMP ELECTION RULES PROVOKES OMINOUS WARNING FROM WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY "The Federal Judge misspelled his own name in his order. That's how you know it's quality legal work," wrote one user.
“现在,巴斯蒂安法官基本上下令在司法部发动政变,下令罢免总统的人选并安插巴斯蒂安的司法傀儡,从而制造了一场不必要的宪法危机。第九巡回法院必须解决这个问题。否则最高法院将不得不介入。”戴维斯总结道。
"Now Judge Bastian created an unnecessary constitutional crisis by essentially ordering a coup at the Justice Department, by ordering the removal of the President’s pick and putting in Bastian’s judicial puppet. The Ninth Circuit must fix this. Or the Supreme Court will have to step in. Again," Davis concluded.
“总统罢免美国检察官的权力必须不受约束,符合宪法第二条。斯坦利·巴斯蒂安法官命令罗格夫复职是错误的。我预测巴斯蒂安法官最终会被推翻,无论是在第九巡回法院还是最高法院,”监督项目诉讼副总裁杰夫·克拉克说。
"The President's power to remove U.S. Attorneys must be unfettered consistent with Article II of the Constitution. Judge Stanley Bastian is wrong here to order Rogoff reinstated. I predict Judge Bastian will eventually be reversed, whether at the Ninth Circuit or by the Supreme Court," said Oversight Project litigation vice president Jeff Clark.
白宫痛斥推翻特朗普出生公民令的“激进分子”拜登法官“司法越权,简单明了。司法部门不能管理行政部门。句号,”霍尔茨曼·沃格尔合伙人布莱恩·尼维斯说。
WHITE HOUSE RIPS ‘ACTIVIST’ BIDEN JUDGE WHO UPENDED TRUMP BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER "Judicial overreach, plain and simple. The judiciary does not get to run the Executive Branch. Period," said Holtzman Vogel partner Brian Nieves.
在迈尔斯诉美国案(1926年)中,最高法院裁定总统伍德罗·威尔逊未经参议院同意解雇了一名邮政局长,总统通常拥有罢免行政部门官员的宪法权力。
In Myers v. United States (1926), which centered on President Woodrow Wilson's firing of a postmaster without Senate consent, the Supreme Court ruled that the president generally has constitutional authority to remove executive branch officers.
最近,司法部法律顾问办公室在1979年的一份意见中得出结论,总统罢免“每位美国检察官”的法定权力也适用于联邦法官任命的检察官。
More recently, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel concluded in a 1979 opinion that the president’s statutory authority to remove "each United States attorney" also extends to prosecutors appointed by federal judges.
此案是围绕特朗普总统美国检察官任命的一系列法律纠纷中的最新一起,此前新泽西州、弗吉尼亚州和纽约也发生了类似纠纷。
The case is the latest in a string of legal fights over President Trump's U.S. attorney appointments, following similar disputes in New Jersey, Virginia and New York.
在阿丽娜·哈巴(Alina Habba)的临时任期结束后,政府试图让她继续领导美国检察官办公室,新泽西州也发生了类似的纠纷。联邦法院最终驳回了政府维持其权威的努力,尽管法官最初任命的德西丽·格蕾丝并没有简单地接管这一职位。
A similar dispute unfolded in New Jersey after the administration sought to keep Alina Habba leading the U.S. attorney’s office after her interim term ended. Federal courts ultimately rejected the administration’s effort to maintain her authority, although the judges’ original appointee, Desiree Grace, did not simply take over the office.
罗格夫的案件更进一步,直接考验总统是否可以根据填补空缺的法定程序罢免联邦法官任命的美国检察官。
Rogoff’s case goes a step further, directly testing whether a president can remove a U.S. attorney appointed by federal judges under the statutory process for filling a vacancy.
