Judge Blocks Trump Administration Mass Layoffs at U.S. Agencies

A federal judge further blocked the Trump administration from sharply cutting jobs and reorganizing the structure of many major federal agencies as part of its so-called DOGE effort under billionaire Elon Musk. ... "Agencies may not conduct large-scale reorganizations and reductions in force in blatant disregard of Congress's mandates, and a President may not initiate large-scale executive branch reorganization without partnering with Congress."

And that's why you lay off the judges first.

Trump has all three branches of Gov under his thumb, and had he really wanted to make legitimate changes in a legal fashion, he could have done so.

But that's obviously not what he wants; he wants 'shock and awe' to see how much illegitimate and illegal things he can get away with before he's stopped.

Presidential Historians rated him dead last of all Presidents for a reason, and here it is.

Liberal dem judges are leftist activists; in no way are they impartial.

Federal workers are tasked with working on missions designed by acts of Congress.

It took Acts of Congress to create these positions, and it will take an Acts of Congress to terminate them.

The Executive, nor Squeelon Musk, are capable of Acts of Congress.

But you know who is? The current Republican led Congress.

Liberal activist judges? Perhaps. But MasterScourgeTard and his fellow Trumper lunatics simply don't understand how the Constitution dictates our form of government.

If they did, they would have demanded Congress do their jobs instead of blaming the Judicial and supporting illegal administrative actions. They do not support the Constitution and how it operates.

the dispute implicates an important constitutional question: the president's ability to supervise the agency heads who exercise power on his behalf.

"Finish your appeals then come back and we'll do it for real"

I would expect similar results for this latest district level liberal activist judge's ruling.
