Federal Judge Orders Trump and Musk To Quit Firing Federal Employees And That Previous Firings Should Be Rescinded

[The Duke]

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

Yeah well, the time of ignoring The Constitution is over.

Get a judge to back up your MAGA bullshit. Until then, you have lost this debate.

Spoken like a true Nazi fascist. Total lawlessness....and proud of it.

Nah, that's you scum. But thanks for adhering to the Marxist playbook, you're nothing if not predictable, unimaginative, and stupid.

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.”

San Francisco, Clinton appointed liberal judge? It's the left doing everything they can to stop Trump from fixing the Government and stopping the US from going broke! They don't care if it will be overturned on appeal. They don't care if it's bad for the country.

The judge's ruling is the only "news" I need.....and you lose.

You want lawlessness. The judge ruled against Trump, so you cry like a little ***** about it and want to ignore the ruling.

That's fascism.

That's fascism.

The Courts are overstepping their authority. They are going to lose. Prepare yourself.

 

[Mac-7]

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.

Someone should explain that to the judge

No...Democrats don't ignore judicial orders. Democrats don't try to steal elections, like you all did on Jan 6.

That's what Repug Nazis do.

Well...then you fascists should have no problem getting the ruling overturned.

It's going to be fun to watch your temper tantrum when it happens.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

It's going to be fun to watch your temper tantrum when it happens.

Whatever. It's obvious that what OPM/Musk is doing is a violation of Federal law. You're just too much of a dishonest little shit to admit it.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Well...then you fascists should have no problem getting the ruling overturned.

I'm a "fascist" because I point out that you on the left are up to your usual tricks with lawfare, Doc? You judge shop so you can hamstring whatever policies Trump is trying to push. You lost the election because people are sick of the left's failed policies and want Trump to fix what you broke but you don't care.

 

[westwall]

No...Democrats don't ignore judicial orders. Democrats don't try to steal elections, like you all did on Jan 6.

Biden ignored them and you supported him so go piss up a rope you lying prick.

Roberts about to shut all this down

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

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.

I have more respect for your opinion than I do for 90% of those posting on this board because I thought you at some point indicated that you were/are a practicing attorney. Whether you are or not you seem pretty savvy when it comes to legal matters. So if these federal workers are not at-will employees why do you believe they have no grounds for their claims?

I disagree that they have no grounds for their claims but I'm always open to learning something new especially in an area in which I am not a professional.

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

Two cases in point:
