Federal Judge Orders Trump and Musk To Quit Firing Federal Employees And That Previous Firings Should Be Rescinded

[IDIOCRACY]

Happened earlier tonight. --

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Office of Personnel Management to rescind directives that initiated the mass firing of probationary workers across the government, ruling that the terminations were probably illegal, as a group of labor unions argued in court.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered OPM to rescind its previous directives to more than two dozen agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Science Foundation and others identified in a lawsuit. The ruling — a temporary restraint on the government that will be revisited in the coming weeks — is one of the biggest roadblocks so far to President Donald Trump’s effort to slash the federal workforce.


And this is a Federal judge's way of telling Trump and his incompetent, deranged government that it's full of shit. --

“Congress has given the authority to hire and fire to the agencies themselves. The Department of Defense, for example, has statutory authority to hire and fire,” Alsup said from the bench as he handed down the ruling Thursday evening in federal court in San Francisco. “The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees at another agency. They can hire and fire their own employees.”

ILMAO @ "probably" illegal.

Yeah, you hate partisan judges, so send it to the Supreme Court, as partisan as you can get. Especially "I like Bribes" Thomas

Nope, for the first time since FDR, the majority of SCOTUS justices are constitutionalists rather than liberal activists like RBG,

Bullshit.

Just because they say what you want them to say, doesn't mean they're "constitutionalists".

Thomas is open to bribes and always has been.

Thomas is open to bribes and always has been.

Their decisions are based upon the constitution, unlike the liberal justice’s cause de jour decisions. Of course not every SCOTUS decision is wise or correct being human, but at least the constitutionalists try.

 

[OKTexas]

It's illegal....that's why.

Not that MAGA fascist assholes care about such things.

How about you quote the the Constitution where it grants the power to dictate to a coequal branch of government how they deal with personnel. Can Trump dictate to congress what staffers they hire, or dictate to SCOTUS who can clerk for them?

"Based on the constitution", for example?

303 Creative LLC v. Elenis for example, says that a state cannot compel someone to do something that goes against "their values".

In this case a web designer that didn't want to do something that recognized same-sex marriages.

"(a) The framers designed the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to protect the "freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think." "

"West Virginia Bd. of Ed. v. Barnette, 319 U. S. 624, 642, it is the principle that the government may not interfere with "an uninhibited marketplace of ideas," "

"These cases illustrate that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to speak his mind regardless of whether the government considers his speech sensible and well intentioned or deeply "misguided," Hurley, 515 U. S., at 574, and likely to cause "anguish" or "incalculable grief," Snyder v. Phelps, 562 U. S. 443, 456. Generally, too, the government may not compel a person to speak its own preferred messages."

Now, the problem here is that where does this end? I don't want to serve black people.

Public Accommodation laws exist and this case actually said "Like many States, Colorado has a law forbidding businesses from engaging in discrimination when they sell goods and services to the public.", essentially backing up Public Accommodation laws.

So, according to the Supreme Court, you're allowed to have laws that prevent people from not serving black people, but not allowed to have the same law for gay people.

That's contradictory.

So, you say they follow the Constitution, but they clearly DON'T follow the Constitution in one way. Which is it?

Even before the election degenerate democrats said they were going to file lawsuit after lawsuit. They have seven lib judges.

Are you saying that in your opinion the workers have no grounds for their claims (lawsuits)?

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

SCOTUS seems to disagree with your ignorant take on the law as well as the positions of your activist judges. Try again.

Can you cite the case in which SCOTUS disagrees?

They will likely just ignore it. These people have no respect for the rule of law.

Not just that, they have what appears to be an insatiable, and sadistic appetite for inflicting harm on others.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Wrong. And you're about to find out just how wrong these people are.

All they're doing is trying to commit sabotage. It's a simple as that.

The deeper they get into it, the worse it's going to get for them.

That describes Trump/Musk et al to the "T".

Read it and weep, moron. The first of many more to come.

Why are you changing the topic? This topic is about the unlawful firings of federal workers.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Sorry, the days of democrats weaponizing the gov't are gone. An objective legal system is being restored as we speak.

Yet for some reason you are unable to ascertain when a judge is making a proper ruling, in accordance with the applicable laws.

Another liberal hack Judge that needs impeached!

Only a fiat currency can cause what we see. When these things happen taxes go up. Over the years a lot of decisions from radical judges have caused citizens to pay lot more than they should.

Yes?

Only if you're stupid.

Are ya stupid, Billiejeens?

The fakest of fake news. These are bought a paid for tRumplings. Nothing more than criminals.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Democrats said, even before the election that in the event of a Trump win they would cripple the administration with lawsuits. The workers have no grounds at all.

Who cares. Trump is the boss. The judge can go piss up a rope. They have no power and will be ignored.

 

[Concerned American]

That describes Trump/Musk et al to the "T".

Can you cite the case where Trump/Musk have sabotaged ANYTHING?
