[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lets say (hypothetically) this ruling is not overturned.  What would it mean for the already riffed?[/quote]

If the ruling is not overturned, it means Congress would need to include language in one of their upcoming bills that blesses the reorganizations.  That might be easier said than done given that all members of Congress don't want the blowback from this policy, which so far is quite unpopular around the country.[/quote]

It is pretty popular outside of DC.[/quote]

You obviously live in DC. Nope, people in red states found out their relatives working at SSA or the VA or DOD contracts (fellow Trump voters even) were laid off by their savior. Others are too old to use DOGE's internet/app based SSA systems and are pissed the Gen Z DOGE kids took away phone applications now requiring the elderly go in person and wait 4 hrs+. Just wait until DOGE cuts SSA field offices.[/quote]

I don't think you know many people located outside if this area

The cuts are popular.[/quote]

That’s not what the polling says. And again - many federal workers are outside of DC. they have friends and family too. [/quote]

This. MAGA have been showing up at Republican town halls demanding answers about their veteran family members getting laid off from the federal government as, obviously, that wasn't supposed to happen after voting for Trump. Kansas City is a Trump area but their local economy is tanking due to the huge number of federal layoffs happening there. Oh, a lot of MAGA outside of DC were also surprised when their fed contractor family members were laid off due to DOGE cutting contracts or grants. The contractors don't make the news though so you only hear about them second hand.[/quote]
