Federal Judge Orders Trump and Musk To Quit Firing Federal Employees And That Previous Firings Should Be Rescinded

[Mac-7]

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.”

Nice. RESIST and UNDERMINE the disaster administration 2.0 at every single turn. Keep it going.

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

Please keep up with the thread. The post was offered as an example of activist judges being put in their places. It also answers just one of the cases where this has happened--a harbinger of more to come. Get used to it. BTW, no workers have been let go unlawfully. Federal employment is not a lifetime appointment.

 

[Concerned American]

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

Please show us all your law degree. Reduction of workforce is in compliance with all US employment laws.

Especially when on probation. Probationers can usually be fired for any reason, or no reason at all.

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

Not that MAGA fascist assholes care about such things.

An Obama appointed judge already ruled it's NOT illegal. But keep on blustering your CNN/MSNBC blather if it makes you feel better.

Obama-appointed judge hands Donald Trump a legal victory

The National Treasury Employees Union, the National Federation of Federal Employees and three other unions sued to block the firings.

You can probably fire 75% of the federal workforce and be fine
Any extra manpower needed can be filled in later

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

Magaturds can't do anything right. They can't lead. If democrats weaponized government, then what does this say about the competency of magaturds?

If Musk wants to find fraud, then he should start with his own contracts. Musk is paid $8 million per day by the Federal government....

Well, he does provide a very valuable service at a reasonable price.

 

[Concerned American]

Musk fired thousands of Federal employees on day 1 without conducting any type of "fraud" investigation....so what the fuck are you even talking about??

Nobody with a brain believes Musk did any type of fraud investigation that quickly.

If Musk wants to find fraud, then he should start with his own contracts. Musk is paid $8 million per day by the Federal government....and you imbeciles are worried about a couple of dead people getting Social Security checks.

Just pathetic suckers, all of you.
