The Supreme Court has Temporarily Blocked Trump’s (R) attempt to Remove Shira Perlmutter as Register of Copyrights, Pending related Appeals. Critics have Argued that the Trump Administration’s Effort could Threaten the Copyright Office’s Independence. The Supreme Court will First Hear related Cases involving Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter (D) and Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook (D), to Address Broader Presidential Removal Questions.
Justice Clarence Thomas indicated He would have Allowed Immediate Removal. Solicitor General D. John Sauer (R) said, “Treating the Librarian and Register as legislative officers would set much of federal copyright law on a collision course with the basic principle that Congress may not vest the power to execute the laws in itself or its officers.”
Trump removed Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and attempted to Install His Appointees, Leading the Library of Congress to File Suit. Perlmutter and other Officials argued the Removals Violated Separation-of-Powers Principles and sought Judicial Protection.
The D.C. Circuit Ruled the Register of Copyrights is a Legislative-Branch Official and may Only be Removed by a Senate-Confirmed Librarian of Congress.
Perlmutter said She faced Pressure, after a May Copyright Office Report found that some AI TrainingUuses of CopyrightedWworks likely require Licensing.
Forward President Skye Perryman (D) said, “Today, the administration’s unlawful executive overreach was not greenlit by the U.S. Supreme Court.”
Perryman added, “We are pleased that the Court deferred the government’s motion to stay our court order in a case that is critically important for rule of law, the separation of powers, and the independence of the Library of Congress.”
