Trump Administration Asks Supreme Court To Halt Judge's Order To Rehire Probationary Federal Workers

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to halt a ruling ordering the rehiring of thousands of federal workers let go in mass firings aimed at dramatically downsizing the federal government. The emergency appeal argues that the judge can’t force the executive branch to rehire some 16,000 probationary employees. The California-based judge found the firings didn’t follow federal law, and he ordered reinstatement offers be sent as a lawsuit plays out. The appeal also calls on the conservative-majority court to rein in the growing number of federal judges who have slowed President Donald Trump’s sweeping agenda, at least for now. “Only this Court can end the interbranch power grab,” the appeal stated. The nation’s federal court system has become ground zero for pushback to Trump with the Republican-led Congress largely supportive or silent, and judges have ruled against Trump’s administration more than three dozen times after finding violations of federal law. The rulings run the gamut from birthright citizenship changes to federal spending to transgender rights. Trump’s unparalleled flurry of executive orders seems destined for several dates at a Supreme Court that he helped shape with three appointees during his first term, but so far the majority on the nine-member court has taken relatively small steps in two cases that have reached it. The latest order appealed to the high court was one of two handed down the same day that found separate legal problems with the way the Republican administration’s firings of probationary employees were carried out.

Anti-American traitor Donald Trump’s administration asks SCOTUS to stop the order to rehire wrongly fired probationary federal workers from taking legal effect.
