USDA employees fired en masse by Trump administration reinstated, workers’ board says

A workers’ board is reinstating – at least temporarily – almost 6,000 fired probationary workers from the Department of Agriculture, according to a newly issued order obtained by CNN.

The order, by the Merit Systems Protection Board, undercuts President Donald Trump’s attempts to downsize the federal civil service and is a major indication that the mass layoffs were unlawful and may eventually be reversed by the board.
..........................................
A special counsel who looked at the employees’ claims argued to the workers’ board the mass layoffs appeared not to follow the law for how the government can cut back its workforce. On Wednesday, the Merit Systems Protection Board agreed, in an opinion written by board member Gina Grippando.

That means the workers should be able to go back to work immediately, at least for 45 days, starting Wednesday, Grippando said. The special counsel – a different government office than the more high-profile special counsels at the Justice Department like Jack Smith and Robert Mueller – now can investigate further and the board can look again at the legal questions around the mass layoffs at USDA to determine if the firings were unlawful.

 

another judge, another loss...restore that NIH funding you pos..well that last part was mine

US judge bars Trump administration from cutting NIH research funding

A U.S. judge on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from carrying out steep cuts to federal grant funding for research that universities and Democratic-led states warn would lead to layoffs, lab closures and a curtailment of scientific and medical studies.

U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston issued a nationwide injunction at the request of 22 Democratic state attorneys general, medical associations and universities that argue the National Institutes of Health's planned funding cuts were unlawful.

Kelley, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, noted that the policy affects thousands of existing grants, totaling billions of dollars across all 50 states, calling it "a unilateral change over a weekend, without regard for on-going research and clinical trials."

This created an "imminent risk of halting life-saving clinical trials, disrupting the development of innovative medical research and treatment, and shuttering of research facilities, without regard for current patient care," she added.

 

MAGA already attacking her and Roberts

if a dem said this about Alito or Thomas, Bondi would already have an indictment and arrest warrant

is it wrong that I hope the brown shirts go all in against her and make her life hell?

would seeing her suffer the full wrath of maga and proudboys (short of physical harm) help keep Roberts on the right side of history and get Barrett to evolve?

MAGA world turns against Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett

Swift and vicious reviews poured in from right-wing, Trump-allied figures this week when Barrett and other justices rejected a Trump administration attempt to avoid paying U.S. Agency for International Development contractors as ordered to by a federal judge.

"DEI judge," influencer Jack Posobiec posted on X, suggesting that Barrett was a "diversity, equity and inclusion" hire, presumably because she is a woman.

Trump at the time promised to pick a woman to replace liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"Amy Coney Barrett was a DEI appointee," another far-right influencer, Laura Loomer, wrote. Her X post featured a photo of Barrett's family. Barrett and her husband have seven children, including two they adopted from Haiti, who are Black.

 

another scathing ruling with a federal judge basically saying wtf??

MAGA - do you think maybe people haven't been lying to you about this clown?

Federal Judge Slaps Trump Down In Fiery Ruling Accusing Him Of 'Power Grab'

A federal judge on Thursday shot down President Donald Trump's effort to oust a member of the National Labor Relations Board.

In a fiery ruling, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell wrote that Trump is trying to carry out a "power grab," adding that his "interpretation of the scope of his constitutional power—or, more aptly, his aspiration—is flat wrong."

"A President who touts an image of himself as a 'king' or a 'dictator,' perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution," the judge wrote in a 36-page ruling. "In our constitutional order, the President is tasked to be a conscientious custodian of the law, albeit an energetic one, to take care of effectuating his enumerated duties, including the laws enacted by the Congress and as interpreted by the Judiciary."

One of the targets of those cuts was Gwynne Wilcox, who was nominated for the NLRB by then-President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate in September 2023. Wilcox sued Trump and Marvin Kaplan, the current chairman of the NLRB, afterward, alleging that her firing was a "blatant violation" of federal law, which says NLRB members can only be removed for misconduct or negligence.

 

so many losses, it's hard to keep them straight anymore

Does MAGA care that there is a clear pattern of illegal behaivor being demonstrated by POTUS

Trump Suffers Loss in Federal Court

A federal judge has reinstated Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) chair Cathy Harris after ruling her removal by the Trump administration was unlawful. U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras noted the board's independence under federal law and found Harris' dismissal violated statutory provisions. Harris claimed her removal was politically motivated.

The new preliminary injunction prevents her removal indefinitely unless overturned by a higher court. Contreras cited a 1935 Supreme Court case in his ruling. The court noted that Congress designed the MSPB to operate free from political influence.

Judge in foreign aid funds freeze case cites GOP appointees in legal lesson for Trump officials

To support his ruling partially granting a preliminary injunction against the government, Ali cited writings from Republican-appointed justices to set the backdrop for his decision affirming the administration’s — and Congress’ — role in our system.

The judge cited rejections of executive overreach in foreign policy from Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the late GOP icon Antonin Scalia, in an opinion joined by Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, which observed that England had given the King exclusive foreign policy control but that the United States “had other ideas” and “adopted a Constitution that divides responsibility for the Nation’s foreign concerns between the legislative and executive departments.”

Using Roberts’ phrase that this balance is “firmly established,” Ali wrote that he was reaffirming “these firmly established principles of our Constitution.” He said the plaintiff groups that brought the lawsuit against the government’s blanket freeze will likely succeed on their separation-of-powers claims.

He rejected what he called the administration’s “unbridled understanding of the President’s foreign policy power, which would put the Executive above Congress in an area where it is ‘firmly established’ that the two branches share power, ... where Congress is exercising one of its core powers, and where there is no constitutional objection to the laws it has made.”

 

obvious by now the intent is to ignore the law, string out the decisions, let the program/employees die on the vines in the meantime

three rulings, three more obvious losses

almost like there is an effort to paralyze or dull reaction by making it another day, another judge telling potus he is breaking the law
