Supreme Court Allows Trump To Mass Fire Federal Employees

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a lower court order that had halted the Trump administration’s sweeping federal staffing cuts and agency restructuring—delivering a major win for the president’s effort to shrink and overhaul the federal bureaucracy.

In a brief, unsigned opinion, the justices clarified that they were not weighing in on the legality of any specific reorganization plan. However, the Court concluded that the district judge had overstepped by blocking the administration from implementing the proposed changes.

As she regularly does when it comes to a Trump executive order, far-left Biden appointee Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, calling it the “wrong decision at the wrong moment, especially given what little this Court knows about what is actually happening on the ground.” She added: “Yet, for some reason, this Court sees fit to step in now and release the President’s wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that while she agrees with Justice Jackson that any restructuring must align with existing congressional mandates, Trump’s executive order explicitly directed agencies to operate within the bounds of the law. “The plans themselves are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law,” she wrote.

Sotomayor stated that it is now up to the district judge to determine whether the administration is indeed following the law. The sweeping federal layoffs were challenged by a coalition of unions, nonprofits, and local governments, who argued that such major changes require congressional approval and cannot be enacted unilaterally by the administration.

The administration argued that President Donald Trump does not need “special permission” from Congress to lay off thousands of federal employees. Justice Department attorneys contended that delaying workforce reductions until legal challenges are resolved is not in the best interest of the government or taxpayers, USA Today reported.
