B-Man Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Trump Scores Major Win as Supreme Court Allows Mass Firings of Federal Employees to Stand The Supreme Court has halted an order by a superannuated, Clinton-appointed San Francisco judge that would have required the Trump administration to reinstate some 16,000 probationary employees it had fired from the Pentagon, the Treasury, and the Agriculture, Energy, Veterans Affairs, and Interior Departments. The order places the reinstatement on hiatus until the Supreme Court has a chance to rule on the issue, but things look grim for the Resistance. The vote was 6-2, with only hardened anti-Trumpers Sotomayor and Jackson voting to sustain the judge's order. The court also noted that it didn't think the plaintiffs in the case, the American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO, had standing. "The District Court’s injunction was based solely on the allegations of the nine non-profit-organization plaintiffs in this case," said the unsigned order, "But under established law, those allegations are presently insufficient to support the organizations’ standing." This case originated in March when the Office of Personnel Management issued an order directing agencies to terminate workers in term or probationary status. Somehow, this case ended up in San Francisco, which only has the most tenuous connection to any of the agencies named in the suit. One might suspect that judge shopping was going on. https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/04/08/trump-scores-major-win-as-supreme-court-allows-mass-firings-of-federal-employees-to-stand-n2187616
