"Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order deferring a decision in Trump v. Perlmutter, a case in which President Donald Trump is asking the Court to stay an interlocutory injunction issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in September restoring Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter to her post pending her lawsuit against Trump for removing her from office."
"The High Court deferred the case pending decisions in Trump v. Slaughter, which addresses the Administration's authority to remove Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, with oral arguments scheduled for December 8, and Trump v. Cook, which concerns a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors' lawsuit against Trump for her removal. Oral arguments in the latter case are scheduled for January 21, 2026."
The U.S. Supreme Court deferred decision in Trump v. Perlmutter and left Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter in office until after oral arguments in Trump v. Cook on January 21, 2026. The High Court held the case pending decisions in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook, which address presidential authority to remove independent agency officials. The stay application was submitted in October to the Chief Justice by Acting Librarian Todd Blanche, Acting Register Paul Perkins, White House personnel officials, the Executive Office of the President, and President Trump. The Administration argued that the D.C. Circuit's injunction improperly interferes with presidential removal power. Perlmutter filed suit on May 22, calling her removal unlawful and challenging the naming of a temporary replacement.
