Federal Judge Orders Trump and Musk To Quit Firing Federal Employees And That Previous Firings Should Be Rescinded

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Musk is not paid and is done after 130 days. Try again. From ultra liberal Newsweek---
White House documents reviewed by Newsweek confirm that Musk "has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself" and is not the administrator of DOGE. His involvement is unpaid, meaning he does not receive federal compensation for his advisory work.

Does Elon Musk get paid for DOGE? What we know

Elon Musk is working with President Donald Trump in the White House as a "special government employee."

That's not what I'm talking about. Forget it...talking to you is hopeless.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Nope.
The American People voted for President Trump in a overwhelming majority to conduct sweeping audits of the federal government.
This judge has no right to thwart or stop the will of The American People.

Why do you repeat these lies?

49.8% of the vote is not an "overwhelming majority".

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

I haven't heard a majority of the house or senate telling Trump that he is out of line. BTW, are you bankrupt? Do you have a problem with responsible spending and cutting waste when it is discovered? Maybe you need to educate yourself. Econ 101

Are you for real? You expect those pussy Republicans in Congress to actually stand up to Trump??

Damn dude, you really are clueless!!

 

[OKTexas]

I don't need to quote anything. The judge just explained it.

Your willful ignorance is your problem, not mine.

The Judge is an ignorant ass, OPM wasn't the one that did the terminations, it was the individual depts with OPM guidance. Probationary workers can be terminated at any time for any reason. But hey you can feel free to keep crying about it.

Without NASA and the Dept of Defense helping Musk 20 years ago, there would be no Space X.

And without SpaceX now, we'd still be paying Putin to launch payloads into orbit.

Up to date yet, moron?

[Godboy]

The courts just did, Kleetus. Learn to read.

Pff, the fuck they did. Trump is going to fire THOUSANDS of federal employees. They already have, but there are MANY more to come.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

But you simply aren't knowledgable enough to know what I'm talking about.

I'm knowledgeable enough to mock your idiocy, idiot!

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

I'm knowledgeable enough to mock your idiocy, idiot!

You try...and fail, simpleton. You bring nothing to the table.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Pff, the fuck they did. Trump is going to fire THOUSANDS of federal employees. They already have, but there are MANY more to come.

And what Musk did is blatantly illegal...he does not have this authority.

Not that you care about such things.

Means nothing, Kleetus. That's not the popular vote.

But you're the same moron who believes Musk fired thousands of people for fraud when he didn't even have time to conduct a fraud investigation.

You are just really simple.

 

[The Duke]

OPM (i.e. imbecile Elon Musk) can't fire people based on current Federal law.

That is the main point. Many of these Federal workers were fired before the Cabinet secretaries were even confirmed.

This will not be overruled in any sane court of appeals....but SCOTUS is no longer a sane court, so we'll see what happens.

guno you're a tard, and yes it will.
Anyone in The Executive Branch serves at the pleasure of the president.
All Executive Bureaus, The Treasury, all of it.
There's still the Legislative and Judicial branches, but what these judges are doing is against The Constitution.

 

[Mac-7]

Nope, the judge explained why Trump is wrong. Trump can't explain how the judge is wrong....because the judge is correct.

I dont agree

The judge merely said trump was wrong

And these unelected assholes in black robes think their opinions is infallible

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You try...and fail, simpleton. You bring nothing to the table.

Pointing out that SpaceX has the most reliable launch services and he isn't
just handed $8 million a day highlights your idiocy.

Now whine some more while Musk does useful work.

William Alsup

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.”

Politician in black robes William Alsup's order will be reversed - Congress can not encroach upon President Trump's executive powers.

You're really not very bright. Musk didn't fire anyone. He is not being paid. He IS identifying waste and reporting it. Trump and his cabinet heads are doing the firing. Sorry if this is beyond your comprehension. Feel free to rant to your hearts content. There is no shortage of stupid folks that share your ignorance that I am sure will enjoy it.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

You're really not very bright. Musk didn't fire anyone. He is not being paid. He IS identifying waste and reporting it.

Musk is literally firing people. Again, you don't read anything and you don't know anything. Talking to you is pointless. Just a total bumpkin lightweight.

Trump and his cabinet heads are doing the firing.

Wrong, genius. Musk was firing people before some of the cabinet secretaries had even been confirmed by the Senate.

You simply make shit up....like your God Trump.

[Thinker101]

Your lame ass "argument" is not based on the law or the Constitution, Kleetus. Try to do better.

Yup, we've seen how you idiots follow the law and/or the Constitution.
