[quote=Anonymous][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]
LOL. It seems you don’t know many people located outside this area. Most of the Fed workforce is located outside DC.  RIFs (and Fed contractor layoffs) have happened all over and they have ripple effects to the local economy.[/quote]

The funniest thing is when these R congress people get pissed that the RIFs are happening in their districts and not just DC.  Or when research grants get cut for universities in their districts. [/quote]

Like that recent article about cuts to a Montana research lab. Thought it wouldn’t happen to their small town and are now upset. 
Or the black lung sufferers in coal country upset about NIOSH cuts. 
All of them were in support of cuts as long as it didn’t impact them. 
Short sighted. [/quote]
