On Tuesday, Trump’s personal judges, also known as the Supreme Court, blocked an order for thousands of federal employees who were let go during the massive layoffs to return to work.
Because, let’s face it, the Supreme Court is in on it.
The Trump-stacked highest court in the land is doing the Trump’s administration’s work, and as such, they have found the dramatic firings by the phony Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to be at least somewhat lawful and have sided with the Trump administration.
Associated Press reports that this is the third time in less than a week that the highest court in the land has sided with the worst administration in the continental U.S. over federal judges who are actually trying to set things right.
“The court also paused an order restoring grants for teacher training and lifted an order that froze deportations under an 18th century wartime law,” AP reports.
But back to this current ruling, the Supreme Court blocked a federal judge’s order for 16,000 federal employees to return to work while a lawsuit against the Trump administration plays out. The high court decided that the probationary employees in six federal agencies would remain on paid administrative leave. Two of the righteous judges on the bench — Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson — noted that they would’ve left the order in place, meaning employees could have returned to work.
People want to work, and the government would rather pay them not to work, and those workers are waiting on a lawsuit, hoping that they can return to work. In the words of eastern philosopher Childish Gambino, “This is America.”
From AP:
A second lawsuit, filed in Maryland, also resulted in an order blocking the firings at those same six agencies, plus roughly a dozen more. But that order only applies in the 19 states and the District of Columbia that sued the administration.
The Justice Department is separately appealing the Maryland order.
At least 24,000 probationary employees have been terminated since Trump took office, the lawsuits claim, though the government has not confirmed that number.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco ruled that the terminations were improperly directed by the Office of Personnel Management and its acting director. He ordered rehiring at the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, the Interior and the Treasury.
His order came in a lawsuit filed by a coalition of labor unions and nonprofit organizations that argued they’d be affected by the reduced manpower.
Alsup, who was nominated by Democratic President Bill Clinton, expressed frustration with what he called the government’s attempt to sidestep laws and regulations by firing probationary workers with fewer legal protections.
Without due process, some employees were told they were being let go for poor performance even though they’d just received glowing reviews the month before.
The federal government is clearly broken, but what’s more disheartening is that the Supreme Court appears to be lockstep with this trash administration.
I’m ready to throw the whole thing away.
