[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The court is basically saying that Trump has to the executive power to execute his EO and that the court is not opining on the legality of the reorg plans, which include RIFs because they did not have those plans to review. Thus, the court is not opining on whether the plans and the execution of those plans are being done under the law since all they had to go on was the EO. So all this does is set the stage for more lawsuits and in the meantime, Trump has a blank check to do whatever the hell he wants and fire the entire fed govt if he wants to. It’s sad. I feel like we were just put infront of the firing squad but it was a weak case to begin with. [/quote]

No, as long as the current CR is in effect, RIFs are unlawful and will be enjoined immediately.  Courts are acting quickly with all of these actions.

No one will be fired or laid off per this EO, until Congress passes legislation for it.[/quote]

Where did you get the idea that the current CR bans RIFs? That's 100% untrue. The State Department notified their reorg, including RIFs, as required. No pushback from Congress. I feel horribly for State folks being RIFed, but I don't think the reorg is actually illegal.[/quote]

Congress told State No, State retooled their reorg plan and then waited for the Supreme Court decision as many other agencies have been doing.  Waiting for a Yes or a No.

Which this isn't.[/quote]

Right so now they’ll view this as free will from SCOTUS to do what they want until another case makes its way up there that is on the merits of the reorg itself not the EO requiring reorgs. But by the time that happens, many people will lose their jobs and Americans will suffer the consequences. And Congress will sit idly by as we continue to be under a CR next year that doesn’t reflect and of this insanity. [/quote]

Courts and lawyers/law firms have learned over the past 4 months.  Everyone is acting more quickly.  A complaint and a TRO, then a preliminary injunction, will happen very quickly.  It's not 2024 anymore.

Well, Congress doesn't seem to have learned much.  Or the Supreme Court.  But the rest of us have.[/quote]

+1.  I bet the complaints and TRO are already drafted and ready to go.  [/quote]
