Jackson, who was named to the bench by President Barack Obama, rejected the contention that the statute is unconstitutional saying the Special Counsel's job is to review unethical or unlawful practices directed at federal civil servants and help whistleblowers act without suffering reprisals. "It would be ironic, to say the least, and inimical to the ends furthered by the statute if the Special Counsel himself could be chilled in his work by fear of arbitrary or partisan removal," Jackson wrote. .... .... Jackson said her ruling was "extremely narrow" and did not diminish Trump's powers. "This is the only single-headed agency left for the courts to consider, and it is unlike any of them," she wrote. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-judge-declares-trumps-firing-watchdog-agency-head-illegal-2025-03-02/
