Supreme Court delivers major ruling for Donald Trump

The Supreme Court made a major ruling in favor of President Donald Trump's administration, saying they CAN terminate 16,000 federal workers throughout six different agencies. These workers were listed as being in a 'probationary' status. This decision by the Supreme Court challenged a lower court order that said the workers had to be reinstated - but now Trump's administration can continue to lay them off in a move that is said to be cutting wasted spending. Trending Politics reported more:

The high court’s ruling halts a March 13 injunction issued by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in California. That order had directed the Trump administration to reinstate probationary employees at the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Energy, Interior, and Treasury.

 

Alsup’s decision stemmed from a lawsuit brought by nine nonprofit organizations, which challenged the legality of the terminations. But in Tuesday’s order, the Supreme Court said those organizations lacked the legal standing to sue.

 

The justices stayed Alsup’s injunction pending the outcome of an appeal at the Ninth Circuit and a potential review by the Supreme Court itself, should a petition for certiorari be filed. If the Court declines to hear the case, the stay will automatically be lifted.
