ANOTHER significant win for Trump 2.0…
President Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE crew racked up another SCOTUS win on Tuesday as the nation’s highest court blocked a lower court ruling ordering the administration to rehire thousands of federal employees.
The vote was 7 to 2. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have kept the firings paused while the case played out in the lower courts.
From NPR:
The court’s narrow ruling applies only to the nonprofits in Tuesday’s lawsuit, and it did not decide on the case as a whole. Nonetheless, the court’s decision makes it more difficult for groups affected by government layoffs to challenge mass firings systematically.
In that sense, the court’s action is a victory for the Trump administration and its effort to dramatically shrink federal agencies and programs, concentrating executive power in the White House.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk called the decision a big win for Trump 2.0.
“Two big SCOTUS wins in two days! The Court just overturned another far-left lower court order, this one an attempt to force the rehiring of 16,000 terminated federal employees. Trump is winning and DOGE is winning,” Kirk said on X.
