Trump's War on Judicial Appointments: A Pattern of Constitutional Ignorance The recent lawsuit filed by Roger Rogoff, a top federal prosecutor in Seattle, against the White House over his abrupt firing marks the latest chapter in a long standing power struggle between the Trump administration and the judiciary.
The dispute began as an effort to exert executive control over the Justice Department but has devolved into a blatant disregard for constitutional norms.
Rogoff's case is not isolated; it is rather the culmination of a series of events that have seen judicially appointed U. S. attorneys ousted by the Trump administration without due process or regard for the law.
