Supreme Court Okays Trump's Restructuring of the Department of Education, Clearing the Way for 1,400 Firings

Sarah Arnold at Townhall:

In a significant victory for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Donald Trump's push to overhaul the Department of Education, allowing the termination of nearly 1,400 federal employees. The decision clears the way for Trump's long-promised effort to rein in what many conservatives see as a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy that pushes left-wing agendas. Advertisement

In an unsigned decision, the Supreme Court temporarily set aside a lower court's ruling that had stopped President Trump's plan from taking effect. This means the plan can proceed for now, even as the legal battle over it continues. Three liberal justices opposed the order, and the court halted an order from U.S. District Judge Myong Joun in Boston, who had blocked the layoffs and challenged the overall plan. Judge Joun warned that the layoffs "will likely cripple the department."

However, a federal appeals court declined to pause his order while the administration pursued its appeal.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor argued that the majority effectively gave Trump the authority to undo laws passed by Congress simply by dismissing the employees responsible for enforcing them.

Sotomayor's dissent: The Supreme Court must impose a no-firing rule on federal bureaucrats, forever. Once a Democrat hires them, they can never be let go.

It's in The Constitution (TM), you see.

On Friday, State Department "workers" applauded each other as they were escorted from the building.

Note that Trump is mostly just rolling back Biden's hiring bonanza.

It was embarrassing. No one else acts like this when they're fired. They really believe they have a right to cushy, no-show federal jobs fucking up the world for everyone else.

So close to Pride Month? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!?

Many people are asking, rhetorically, why the media is spiraling over 1,300 Deep State Groomers being fired while barely blinking at Microsoft's layoffs of 9,000.

The media doesn't even shriek about their own pinkslips like they're shrieking about their Deep State sources being fired.
