Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized his colleagues “enthusiasm to illuminate the legally doubtful actions of this president”
He Supreme Court It has ruled that the Trump administration can resume the massive dismissal of the staff in federal agencies.
On Tuesday, the Court He lifted an order of a lower court that blocks the application of an executive order of February in which the president Donald Trump He established plans for large -scale shooting and layoffs throughout the government. The Court failed 7-2 to lift the order, with liberal justice Sonia Sotomayor by joining conservatives to put on foot of the administration
In his competitive with the majority, Sotomayor wrote that, although the president cannot restructure federal agencies in an inconsistent way with the mandates of Congress “, the” direct relevant executive order to the agencies that plan reorganizations and reductions in the force of force. The specific plans and methods were not directly before the court, the executive order was, in his opinion, within the president’s Powers.
The liberal justice partner Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a scathing dissent that the order, and the plans described by the Trump administration, enhanced powers in Congress. The lower court had maintained the dismissals in order while litigating the legal merits of the case, but, as Jackson wrote: “That temporary preservation, practice and reducing the Damage of the status quo was not rival for the emergency and emergency position of this demonstrated court.”
“This court lacks the ability to completely evaluate, much less responsible, reasoned the conclusion of the facts of the lower court on what this executive action of challenge implies,” Jackson added.
The decision is a victory for the Trump administration, whose efforts to gut the federal workforce and dismantle all agencies have been repeatedly modern for legal challenges and judicial decisions. When the American district judge Susan Illston Issued the preliminary injury Against Trump’s executive order in February, he arrested the removals in 20 agencies.
The Trump administration has played that it can litigate many of its most extreme and constitutionally doubtful initiatives through the courts and reach the top. Once again, the Supreme Court has demonstrated it correctly.
