“Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.
“Register Perlmutter is a patriot, and her tenure has propelled the Copyright Office into the 21st century by comprehensively modernizing its operations and setting global standards on the intersection of AI and intellectual property.
“This action once again tramples on Congress’s Article One authority and throws a trillion-dollar industry into chaos. When will my Republican colleagues decide enough is enough?”
“copyright for thee but not for me”
piracy is moral, don’t listen to them
I’m sorry but by what authority does the executive branch get to fire a legislative branch employee?
the only real authority
“who is going to stop me”
Unmm any if the hundreds of legislators
the law only matters if there are people willing and able to enforce it
the constitution isn’t magic, i would have thought libs would have figured that out by nowSeems extremely spineless even for them
Why do people keep listening to the executive branch? They aren’t in charge of the entire government, though they are trying to act like it.
I mean, there was one person that didn’t in this article, and they got fired.
But they aren’t under executive branch pervue, the executive branch can say whatever they want and they don’t have to listen. If some guy from sales tells you that you’re fired, and you work in shipping and receiving, so you listen to them? No, you call your boss and ask who this yahoo is.
And then you are fired if that sales guy is actually running the show. Politics…
When will my Republican colleagues decide enough is enough?”
It’s never enough. That’s the thing. Long as they have power, they will not let it go and let things be as long as they retain it.
This makes what happened to Aaron just that much more pointless.
His ex quoted him as saying ‘they don’t let felons work in there’ referring to the white house. Yeah, they do.
RIP
So the president can fire legislative branch employees? Why/how?
