奥巴马任命的一名法官阻止了唐纳德·特朗普总统解雇华盛顿西区联邦法院任命的美国检察官罗杰·罗戈夫的行动,下令司法部承认罗戈夫为合法在职官员,并恢复其履职权限。
“这又是一名激进法官试图阻挠特朗普总统的议程、破坏其宪法权力的裁决。美国检察官由总统酌情任命和解雇,”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
2013年由奥巴马首次提名的斯坦利·巴斯蒂安法官发布了初步禁令,恢复罗戈夫的职务,并禁止政府将其视为已被合法解雇。该裁决引发了一场关于总统是否有权解雇联邦法官任命的美国检察官的法律争端。1979年司法部的一份意见和2000年联邦上诉法院的一项裁决均认定总统拥有这项权力。
“我们不同意该裁决,并将立即寻求暂缓执行并提起上诉,”司法部快速响应账号写道。

一些法律专家和保守派律师在社交媒体上尖锐批评该裁决,称其侵犯了总统对行政部门的宪法权力。
“又一项违法且危险的裁决。破坏权力分立。又是一名民主党激进法官。这次是西雅图的奥巴马任命法官斯坦利·巴斯蒂安,”第三条道路创始人兼主席迈克·戴维斯写道。
“民主党法官自行挑选了他们的美国检察官。总统通过其司法部长将其解雇。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。
戴维斯还指出,巴斯蒂安的名字在裁决书中被拼错,“斯坦利”中的字母“e”被遗漏了。

“联邦法官在裁决书中连自己的名字都拼错了。这就足以说明这份所谓的法律工作质量如何,”一名网友写道。
“如今巴斯蒂安法官 essentially下令司法部政变,罢免总统提名的官员,换上巴斯蒂安的司法傀儡,制造了一场不必要的宪法危机。第九巡回法院必须纠正这一错误。否则最高法院将不得不再次介入,”戴维斯总结道。
“根据宪法第二条,总统解雇美国检察官的权力必须不受限制。斯坦利·巴斯蒂安法官下令恢复罗戈夫职务的做法是错误的。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·克拉克表示。

“司法越权,明摆着的。司法部门无权管理行政部门。仅此而已,”霍兹曼·沃格尔律所合伙人布莱恩·尼夫斯说道。
在1926年的“迈尔斯诉美国案”中,最高法院围绕伍德罗·威尔逊总统未经参议院同意解雇一名邮政局长一事作出裁决,认定总统通常拥有罢免行政部门官员的宪法权力。

更近一些时候,司法部法律意见办公室在1979年的一份意见中得出结论,总统罢免“每一位美国检察官”的法定权力,也适用于联邦法官任命的检察官。
这起案件是特朗普总统与美国检察官任命相关的一系列法律争端中的最新一起,此前新泽西州、弗吉尼亚州和纽约州也出现过类似争议。
新泽西州也曾发生过类似争端,当时政府试图在阿丽娜·哈巴的临时任期结束后继续由其领导美国检察官办公室。联邦法院最终驳回了政府维持其职权的努力,尽管法官最初任命的德西蕾·格蕾丝并未直接接管该办公室。
罗戈夫案更进一步,直接考验总统是否可以根据填补空缺的法定程序,解雇联邦法官任命的美国检察官。

Obama judge halts Trump firing bid as decades-old legal authority tees up possible major reversal

Judge Stanley Bastian ordered the Justice Department to restore Roger Rogoff, setting up a separation of powers fight

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.
“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.
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.
“We disagree with the decision and intend to seek an immediate stay and will appeal,” the DOJ Rapid Response account wrote.

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.
“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.
“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.
Davis also noted Bastian’s first name was misspelled in the order, missing the “e” in Stanley.

“The Federal Judge misspelled his own name in his order. That’s how you know it’s quality legal work,” wrote one user.
“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.
“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.

“Judicial overreach, plain and simple. The judiciary does not get to run the Executive Branch. Period,” said Holtzman Vogel partner Brian Nieves.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
