Supreme Court to Hear Challenge Over Mass IRS Firings

[Conservative Angle]

​

President Trump wants the Supreme Court to stop a judge from forcing the government to rehire 16,000 fired federal workers.

His team says the executive branch calls the shots on who stays and who goes. We the People didn’t elect these courts to rule as President.

The firings were part of Trump’s plan to downsize D.C.

And we all know it needs to be downsized.

Now, the White House is asking SCOTUS to remind lower judges who has the authority.

New York Post reports:

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to halt a ruling ordering the rehiring of thousands of federal workers let go in mass firings aimed at dramatically downsizing the federal government.

The emergency appeal argues that the judge can’t force the executive branch to rehire some 16,000 probationary employees. The California-based judge found the firings didn’t follow federal law, and he ordered reinstatement offers be sent as a lawsuit plays out.

The appeal also calls on the conservative-majority court to rein in the growing number of federal judges who have slowed President Donald Trump’s sweeping agenda, at least for now.

“Only this Court can end the interbranch power grab,” the appeal stated.

The courts have become ground zero for pushback to Trump with the Republican-led Congress largely supportive or silent, and judges have ruled against Trump’s administration more than three dozen times after finding violations of federal law.

The rulings run the gamut from birthright citizenship changes to federal spending to transgender rights.

The order appealed Monday was one of two handed down the same day that both found separate legal problems with the way the Republican administration’s firings of probationary employees were carried out.

Drag their feet all they want, President Trump will get his way because he has the authority.

The Supreme Court is being asked to intervene in a dispute over 16,000 dismissed federal employees.

The Trump administration seeks to stop their reinstatement after a judge ruled against its executive actions.

The rulings run the gamut from birthright citizenship changes to federal spending to transgender rights.

Trump’s unparalleled flurry of executive orders seems destined for several dates at a Supreme Court that he helped shape with three appointees during his first term, but so far the majority on the nine-member court has taken relatively small steps in two cases that have reached it.

The latest order appealed to the high court was one of two handed down the same day. While acknowledging the president can lay off employees, two judges found separate legal problems with the way the Republican administration’s firings of probationary employees were carried out.
