Shira Perlmutter filed a complaint against President Trump's removal from her role as Register of Copyrights, emphasizing its unlawfulness. The complaint's central argument is that Trump lacks the constitutional authority to appoint an acting Librarian of Congress, namely Todd Blanche, as it violates the separation of powers. Perlmutter's complaint comes shortly after Trump dismissed Carla Hayden, the previous Librarian. It highlights concerns regarding proper procedures in government leadership transitions and challenges the legitimacy of Blanche's appointment, raising fundamental issues about executive overreach and the rule of law.
Perlmutter's complaint argues that Trump's authority to name a temporary Librarian of Congress is unconstitutional, aiming to uphold the integrity of separation of powers.
The complaint emphasizes the illegality of Trump's attempt to replace her, citing improper processes and the expected continuity of leadership within the Copyright Office.
