President Donald Trump is again asking the Supreme Court to back his drive to reshape the federal government by firing the leaders of executive branch agencies.

An emergency appeal the Justice Department filed at the high court Wednesday asks the justices to allow Trump to dismiss three members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission appointed by his predecessor, President Joe Biden.

Trump fired the three officials, Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric and Richard Trumka Jr. in May. Federal law says members of the five-person commission can be removed “for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office but for no other cause,” but Trump did not allege any misconduct that triggered the firings. The watchdog agency sets safety standards for thousands of consumer products used in Americans homes and schools.

Last month, a federal judge in Baltimore concluded that the firings were illegal and ordered the trio reinstated. On Tuesday, a panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals turned down the Trump administration’s request to proceed with the firings, prompting the new appeal to the Supreme Court.
