Yes you do and your history here proves it...

I can be wrong sometimes, just as anyone can be, but it's pretty clear in this instance people like you are wrong and also the cause of all this.

"...Speaker Mike Johnson is once again battling hardline conservatives for control of his own House floor — and he has no clear way out. A small group of GOP hardliners, led by firebrand Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, took a decisive vote against Johnson on Tuesday, refusing to allow him to move their own party’s priorities to the floor until Republican leaders come up with a plan to pass President Donald Trump’s federal elections overhaul bill. More than a dozen House Republicans blocked Johnson’s path to the floor for the annual Pentagon policy bill, in a major defeat for GOP leaders. It failed 198-224..."

Even if it wasn't so partisan, with it being right before the 4th of July, especially, it's a horrible time of year to have that in DC.  Even without that, as if folks want to waste a vacation going to watch a bunch of has-been singers and go on a singe Farris wheel for a ride, with sports stadium type food vendors serving food.  Not to mention half the country is not gonna want anything to do with anything associated with Trump, even if the event totally rocked and wasn't so associated with Trump. 

It demonstrates a complete inability to read the room.

 Perlmutter has claimed she got on the president’s bad side with a report that suggested some copyrighted works used to train artificial intelligence models would likely require licensing — that is, tech companies would have to pay to use that material. Perlmutter’s lawsuit said that Trump “allegedly disagreed” with that report. Days later, a White House official sent an email to Perlmutter asserting that she had also been terminated.

In a 2-1 decision earlier this year, a panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals said that the register of copyrights is part of the legislative branch, meaning that only a Senate-confirmed Librarian of Congress can remove her, and not the president.

“The executive’s alleged blatant interference with the work of a legislative branch official, as she performs statutorily authorized duties to advise Congress, strikes us as a violation of the separation of powers that is significantly different in kind and in degree from the cases that have come before,” US Circuit Judge Florence Pan wrote.

The Trump administration told the high court in its appeal that the DC Circuit’s decision “contravenes settled precedent and misconceives the Librarian’s and Register’s legal status.” That’s partly because the register of copyrights, it argued, performs “executive functions,” such as taking part in meetings with foreign governments about copyright issues, which it described as “an increasingly sensitive issue in international diplomacy.”

“Treating the Librarian and Register as legislative officers would set much of federal copyright law on a collision course with the basic principle that Congress may not vest the power to execute the laws in itself or its officers,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the court in the emergency filing.

Library of Congress official Trump tried to fire can keep her job for now, Supreme Court says
https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/30/politics/supreme-court-allows-library-of-congress-official-trump-tried-to-fire-to-keep-her-job
Little long but not much other way to describe it. Is she executive branch or legislative branch is a key issue

They stress not ruling on merits of Trump's claims.
One of her arguments is her job is under legislative branch, not executive branch

The move means that Shira Perlmutter will remain the director of the US Copyright Office despite a long-pending request from Trump to remove her immediately.

In a brief order, the court stressed that it was not ruling on the merits of the legal issues raised by Trump’s claim.

Trump launched a battle with the Library of Congress last spring. The president removed the former Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, in early May and then attempted to install then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, one of his former private attorneys, as the acting librarian. He also attempted to fire Perlmutter at the Copyright Office, which is part of the library.

Last fall, the Supreme Court paused action in the Perlmutter kerfuffle while the court resolved two other major cases dealing with the president’s power to fire members of the executive branch. On Monday, the court resolved those cases, granting president’s broad power to remove the leadership at independent agencies within the executive branch. But one of Perlmutter’s arguments is that her position is part of the legislative branch, which she has argued should make her out of Trump’s reach.
