President Trump is racking up big wins at the Supreme Court, getting another one today as the court ruled to allow Trump continue with his dismantling of the Department of Education, firing some 1,400 employees. The three activists on the court were very unhappy, to say the least.
Here’s more from NBC News:
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with plans to carry out mass layoffs at the Department of Education that were blocked by a federal judge.
The conservative-majority court, without any explanation, granted an emergency application from the administration that blocks the federal judge’s ruling.
The court’s three liberal members objected, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing a blistering dissenting opinion.
“When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it,” she wrote.
The court’s majority is “either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave,” Sotomayor added.
She said the decision also “rewards clear defiance” of the Constitution.
The case is a separate dispute to the one the Supreme Court decided last week when it allowed the Trump administration to move ahead with plans to conduct layoffs across a wide range of government agencies.
It will be a massive accomplishment of Trump to end this corrupt department, returning education back to the states, as it should be. And it’s good to see the Supreme Court doesn’t intend to stand in his way.
