The threat to the rule of law keeps growing. Firing Special Counsel Dellinger lacks justification and undermines OSC’s good governance functions.

NEW DEVELOPMENT: Protect Democracy and Selendy Gay PLLC have filed a suit on our behalf with NARFE: The Association for Federal Employees and Retirees to challenge this administration's attempt to dismantle a cornerstone of American democracy: a federal civil service rooted in merit and integrity. Schedule Policy/Career would eliminate one of the most successful oversight mechanisms for government agencies and cancel the rule of law in our country.?Our lawsuit asserts that Schedule Policy/Career subverts the time-honored national principle of governmental checks and balances, is a danger to our democratic institutions, and puts Americans’ safety at grave risk. This lawsuit is a big undertaking, but we’re ready to prove that Americans want and need competent federal workers who are loyal to the U.S. Constitution—not to this and any other president in power. Learn more about this important step towards protecting our federal civil service when we need it the most. ??
