WASHINGTON (CN) — The Supreme Court will allow the nation’s top copyright official to retain her post for now, deferring President Donald Trump’s request on Wednesday to exert control over the office that advises Congress on issues like artificial intelligence. In a short order, the high court indicated that it wouldn’t rule on Trump’s pending emergency appeal to nix the official’s reinstatement until hearing arguments on other executive branch terminations in December and January.

Justice Clarence Thomas, a George H.W. Bush appointee, indicated that he would have granted Trump’s request.

Shira Perlmutter was reinstated as the register of copyrights by a lower court after she was fired, following a report from the U.S. Copyright Office said some uses of copyrighted works in generative AI training could run afoul of fair use laws. Trump filed an emergency application in October seeking Perlmutter’s removal, saying the justices had previously recognized that allowing removed officers to exercise executive power over the president’s objection would result in irreparable harm.

Nearly half a dozen of Trump’s emergency appeals have concerned terminating government officials he sees as opposing his agenda, including independent labor and employment dispute board members, product safety and federal trade commissioners, a government watchdog and a federal reserve governor.

1. Have they charged her

2. Or arrest and or execution?

That would be the script.

7. The only reason for his actions

is that he wants to keep using musical groups and singers popular songs on his appearances and not have to get permission or pay them copyright fees/royalties, like everyone else has to do..............The other reason is that he wants Melania to be able to plagarize speeches, verbatim, from others, like she did with Michelle's speech, with out breaking any copyright laws.......He thought Melania could get away with it, because Fox Viewers would never watch Michelle's speech, because Michelle's speech would never be on Fox......And the Fox viewers, all would see Melania giving Michelle's speech on Fox and all think what an incredible speech Melania wrote.......

The other thing that I laugh about, every time I see Trump doing his little Wussie gyrations on stage that he thinks is "dancing" ??????? to the tune of the YMCA song..........He is sooooo oblivious that he doesn't know the roots of that song, or what it was written about at the time.....LOL

3. They are trying to make AI copyrightable.

This is happening on the Patent side too. I recently read a scary announcement from the new Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks that curled my ears back as far as AI went. This has got to be at the behest of the tech overlords.

4. You're unfired, for now. Gov employees need a class action suit against Trump for mental stress.

Not knowing when you are next. Not to mention Trump is dumping people that have had access to classified information. They could use it in a way that harms America but Trump don't give a f...

8. Any classified information

they may know about, in reality, has long ago been sold by Trump or Jared, or just given to Putin........

And especially any/all classified intelligence from ANY other country, as they long ago quit sharing their Intel with the U.S. in his first occupation of the White House, knowing that he was selling it or distributing their top secret information, esp regarding their military, to our or the other countries enemies.....
Could you just imagine if Putin was to receive all the military capabilities of every NATO country that he wanted to conquer????? Including daily updates on not only NATO countries intel but also Ukraine Intelligence ?????????

Or the Saudi Prince who now knows the military capabilites of every country in the mid east........He paid Jared TWO BILLION DOLLARS for something Jared got for him......Another time, the prince paid Jared 125? Million for other intel that proved extremely valuable to the Prince.

And that all these other NATO countries and allied countries can trust that the intel they are receiving from the U.S. is accurate, and not just what Trump, and/or Putin wants them to think is correct and factual......

If this Trump/Putin thing goes on much longer, I suspect that Trump will start closing down all of our military bases in NATO countries, helping to collapse their economies, and making it a piece of cake for Putin to invade them all.......Plus bringing back all the soldiers at those closed bases to the U.S. to give Trump the ability to have the manpower to blanket the U.S. for his possible enactment of Martial Law.....

10. So right you are, and it doesn't matter to Trump unless he can get his name mentioned and picture taken.

5. Of course

"Cash and Carry" Clarence would have given Crumb The 1st anything he wanted so no surprise there. Likely checked with Harlan first.

6. I've never h are the term "boot top" before. A google search doesn't show it in this context.

9. Uh oh, will Pedonald now call them traitors guilty of insurrection,

demand their arrest and/or execution?
I certainly wouldn't put it past him.
