Supreme Court Overrules Lowly District Court Judge, Okays Trump to Merely Plan for Mass Firings in the Government

Note that the lowly district court judge didn't just rule Trump couldn't fire his own employees.

No, the lowly district court judge issued a restraining order blocking Trump from even making plans for firing them.

The Supreme Court overturned that insurrectionist ruling.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to begin carrying out sweeping layoffs across the federal government, lifting a lower court's block on a February executive order directing agencies to initiate major workforce reductions.

Key Details:

The Court granted the administration's emergency appeal, overturning a May injunction by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston that had halted layoffs at over 20 federal agencies.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, claiming the decision gives President Trump a "wrecking ball" to use against the federal bureaucracy.

Affected departments include State, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Transportation, and the Social Security Administration, with legal battles expected to continue over the broader implications.

Diving Deeper:

President Donald Trump scored a major legal victory Tuesday when the Supreme Court cleared the path for his administration to implement a sweeping plan to cut the federal workforce. The high court lifted a district court injunction that had barred the administration from enforcing a February 11 executive order directing agencies to prepare for widespread "reductions in force" (RIFs).

The unsigned order, which appeared to have an 8-1 majority, allows Trump officials to move ahead with plans that could impact tens of thousands of federal workers. The decision doesn't settle the ongoing legal fights surrounding the layoffs, but it does permit the administration to begin executing the executive order and a related Office of Management and Budget directive in the meantime.

...

In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Biden appointee, sharply criticized the majority, accusing them of greenlighting legally questionable moves without fully examining the facts. "While the President no doubt has the authority to manage the Executive Branch, our system does not allow the President to rewrite laws on his own under the guise of that authority," she wrote. Jackson also took aim at the court's increasing willingness to override district courts in emergency decisions, suggesting the majority showed "enthusiasm" for rubber-stamping the administration's actions.

Note that the DEI hire Katanji couldn't even get the old DEI hire Sotomayor to agree with her.

In fact, Sotomayor rebuked her for once again refusing to apply the actual laws and rules of jurisprudence and ignore the fact that no cuts have yet even happened. You cannot rule that a plan is illegal, Sotomayor lectured Ketanji Brown Jackson, until that plan actually exists.

But Ketanji thinks the obligation to wait for a plan before ruling that plan unconstitutional is just more "legalese" and would prefer to continue with her Opray Winfrey Jurisprudence, in which nothing is based on precedent, rule, or reason, but is just the sort of thing that stupid leftwing women shout and yammer about to get applause from other stupid leftwing women.
