9th Circuit rejects Trump appeal, orders reinstatement of federal employees

JTN

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday rejected an appeal from the Trump administration and upheld a lower court order demanding that the administration rehire thousands of probationary employees across a range of federal agencies.

Judge William Alsup last week determined that the administration unlawfully fired thousands of employees from the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs and ordered their reinstatement.

The panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 in favor of upholding Alsup’s order, Forbes reported. The case may soon reach the Supreme Court, where the Trump administration has already asked the justices to rule on the scope of a district judge’s ability to impose nationwide injunctions. more

  1. Garbage… but just give them the Milton treatment. Give them their jobs back (for now), but relocate them to the basement, take away all computer access… and their red staplers.

  2. @Veedonfleece:
    I understand your feelings but it’s not about being wimps; it’s about stopping and reversing the unconstitutional precedent that’s been set. The correct thing to do is to restore constitutional authority to the Executive branch and specifically to the President, which Trump is attempting to do. Undoing a century’s worth of corruption will take time. At least they’ve begun the task. As anyone can see, those who have stolen the authority will not easily give it up.

  3. Have them report to an unairconditioned warehouse where they spend the day auditing each other.

    Until you get another Supreme pick or two.

    And no Amy Barrets next time, gnome sane?

  4. Probationary means there is no guarantee an employee on probation can keep a job. They can be fired anytime. Demwit judges won’t be able to get around the obvious no matter how hard they try. These endless regional injunctions can be ignored for now.
