The wins just keep coming!
Today, the Supreme Court gave President Trump the greenlight for a massive purge of the federal government!
In an 8-1 ruling with only liberal Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson dissenting, SCOTUS overturned a ruling from a Clinton-appointed lower judge that blocked sweeping layoffs at over 20 federal agencies.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court sides with President Trump — allows SWEEPING federal workforce cuts, 8-1
AG Pam Bondi responded to the ruling:
Today, the Supreme Court stopped lawless lower courts from restricting President Trump’s authority over federal personnel — another Supreme Court victory thanks to @thejusticedept attorneys.
Now, federal agencies can become more efficient than ever before.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ruled to block widespread layoffs of federal employees in response to President Trump’s executive order back in February directing agencies to make plans to significantly cut their workforce.
CBS News provided some background:
Mr. Trump began taking steps to shrink the government shortly after he returned to the White House. The president created DOGE, a cost-cutting task force that had been led by Elon Musk, and his administration began taking steps to dismantle agencies like the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
In February, Mr. Trump issued an executive order directing agencies to make plans to initiate “large-scale” reductions-in-force, the government’s term for layoffs. On the heels of the president’s directive, the Office of Personnel Management and the Office of Management of Budget issued a memo directing agencies to submit plans for two phases of job cuts.
Several department heads began executing their workforce cuts earlier this year, with thousands of federal employees losing their jobs. Other federal entities had planned to make significant reductions in the coming weeks and months. The reductions-in-force are separate from the mass terminations of probationary workers, who generally were in their positions for one or two years. But those firings, which took place in February, have also been the focus of lawsuits.
In response to Mr. Trump’s executive order, labor unions, nonprofit groups and local governments sued nearly every federal agency to block the layoffs, arguing that the executive order exceeded the president’s authority and violated the separation of powers. The Department of Education was not part of the unions’ suit.
A federal judge in San Francisco agreed to issue a temporary restraining order that prevented the Trump administration from moving forward with its existing reductions-in-force or planning any future layoffs as directed by Mr. Trump. The order also bars administration officials from enforcing any further orders by DOGE to cut programs or staff in connection to the president’s executive order.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston extended that block in May, finding that the president can restructure federal agencies, but only after obtaining approval from Congress. Her injunction applies to 22 federal agencies, including the Cabinet-level Departments of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and State, among others.
Now, the Supreme Court has overturned that ruling.
In other words, SCOTUS has given President Trump the clear go-ahead to ramp up efforts to clean out the swamp!
The New York Times noted:
The case represents a key test of the extent of President Trump’s power to reorganize the government without input from Congress. The justices’ order is technically only temporary, guiding how the administration can proceed while the challenge to Mr. Trump’s plans continues. But in practice, it means he is free to pursue his restructuring plans, even if judges later determine that they exceed presidential power.
In a two-paragraph order, the justices wrote that they had concluded that “the government is likely to succeed on its argument” that President Trump’s executive order announcing plans to downsize the government was legal. The justices added that they had not expressed a view on the legality of specific layoffs or reorganizations by the Trump administration.
It was the latest in a series of recent victories for the Trump administration before the Supreme Court on emergency requests related to the president’s efforts to rapidly reshape government.
Hilariously, liberal Justice Sotomayor scolded Justice Jackson — the only dissent in the ruling — for, essentially, not understanding what she is even talking about.
Take a look at this:
Jackson is the ONLY dissent. Sotomayor has to remind Jackson, for some reason, that the case before them is NOT about what Jackson thought it was.

OMG: Now a LIBERAL Supreme Court justice is trying to teach Justice Ketanji Jackson how this whole “judicial” thing works…
Jackson is the ONLY dissent. Sotomayor has to remind Jackson, for some reason, that the case before them is NOT about what Jackson thought it was.
My gosh.
“The plans themselves are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law.”
“The relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force ‘consistent with applicable law.’”
How long do you think it will be until Justice Jackson is removed?
Any bets?
