The United States Supreme Court dropped two decisions earlier on Thursday, including one relating to the public funding of religious charter schools, as we previously reported.

Now, the high court has issued an "opinion related to an order" from its emergency docket rather than its regular merits docket. The case involves the powers meted out by the Constitution to the President of the United States, on whom he or she can fire:
Margot Cleveland wrote on her X account in the wake of the decision that this is "[a]nother win from [sic] Trump at SCOTUS, of course justices decided to deprive Trump of his executive authority for nearly 2 months before acting to let firings of executive officers to take effect."
The executive officers she's referring to are members of the National Labor Relations and Merit System Protection Boards, whom President Trump fired, as we previously wrote in this legal saga. In late March, my colleague Bonchie wrote that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decided (by a 2-1 vote) "that overruling the firings of Cathy Harris and Gwynne Wilcox would cause irreparable harm by depriving Trump of his constitutionally vested authority as president."
This was appealed in early April to the entire panel, which Bonchie explained, essentially "unfired" the executive officers on the boards, with their "7-4 decision against the administration."
Finally, SCOTUS dramatically weighed in, two days later, on Apr. 9 to stay the decision:

The Trump administration can count this one as a new win, while we wait for outcomes on many other lawsuits seeking to stay the executive's power under 47.
