US EditionTrump Asks Supreme Court to Let Him Refire Copyright Office Director
The Trump administration argues the Register wields executive power, challenging a federal appeals court ruling protecting Shira Perlmutter from unilateral removal.
- On Monday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow the firing of Shira Perlmutter, Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, after a federal appeals court blocked her removal.
- A divided appellate panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Perlmutter could keep her job while the case proceeds, and nearly four weeks ago the full court refused reconsideration.
- Perlmutter received an email notifying her immediate termination as Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office and says she was fired after advising Congress on AI.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued Monday that the register `wields executive power` in copyright regulation, while Judge Justin Walker, Trump appointee, dissented that Perlmutter `exercises executive power`.
- The Supreme Court has largely allowed such firings, but Judge Florence Pan warned alleged executive interference with Legislative Branch officials advising Congress raises separation-of-powers concerns.
