Judge blocks dismantling of Education Department, reinstates hundreds of workers

A federal judge ordered Trump's Education Department to reinstate hundreds of workers – at least for now.

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily reinstated hundreds of Education Department workers laid off by the Trump administration and blocked the president's executive order attempting to dismantle the decades-old agency.

District Court Judge Myong J. Joun, a Biden appointee in Boston, said the White House's decision to fire more than 1,300 workers in March has prevented the federal government from effectively implementing legally required programs and services.

At the request of a coalition of states, he granted a preliminary injunction to rehire the staffers while a lawsuit plays out over whether the employees were illegally fired.
The judge also blocked an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in March aimed at taking "all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education." Only Congress has the authority to abolish federal agencies. Though both legislative chambers are currently controlled by Republicans, the GOP would need support from Democrats to pass any bills dismantling the Education Department.

Congress created the Dept of Ed. It's up to them to pass legislation eliminating it. The Executive simply can't do it with the stroke of a pen.

I can, however, see the loophole that Trump will drive his truck though.
He did not, after all, abolish the Dept. of Education in the XO.
He merely ordered that they take "all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education."

He can claim that all he is doing is being proactive--in anticipation of Congress seeing it his way~

Why is a District Judge in Boston ruling on things that happen in DC?

he can eliminate the parts not explicitly called for in the legislation.

I understand congress created it. But it is also unconstitutional. Just because congress enacts something, doesnt mean the constitution is null and void.

I'd like to believe that, but he won't.

Sure, but without Congress actually voting to eliminate it the next Democratic administration will simply reinstate it.

That's what will probably happen to USAID. They're hiding under the umbrella of the State Dept....riding out the storm~

Yes, and that will happen. Not right now..but after a while..

 

[airplanemechanic]

That's the kinda shit democrats do.

They create some obscure fucking gov't agency with a nice sounding name, USAID. Or "dept of education." Then when you find out that most of the taxpayer money thrown at these agencies is wasted or used fraudulently and you want to shut them down, suddenly you hate assisting foreigners or you don't care about kids education. It's such bullshit, but I must give it to democrats, it is clever.
