Blake Brittain writes: “A Washington-based federal appeals court on September 10 blocked President Donald Trump from firing US Copyright Office Director Shira Perlmutter while she appeals a lower court’s ruling against her attempt to stop the administration from terminating her. In a 2–1 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted Perlmutter’s request to reinstate her to the position temporarily and said Trump’s move to terminate her was likely unlawful.”
