US judge orders reinstatement of thousands of sacked workers
2025-03-14
[GEO.TV] A US federal judge has ordered six government agencies to reinstate thousands of recently sacked workers, ruling that the mass dismissals carried out under President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th and 47th President of the United States...
's administration were improperly enforced.

The ruling by US District Judge William Alsup during a hearing in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
was the most significant blow yet to the effort by Trump and top adviser Elon Musk to drastically shrink the federal bureaucracy. Government agencies face a Thursday deadline to submit plans for a second wave of mass redundancies and to slash their budgets.

Alsup's ruling applies to probationary employees at the US Department of Defence, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and the Treasury Department.

The judge said the US Office of Personnel Management, the human resources department for federal agencies, had improperly ordered those agencies to sack workers en masse even though it lacked the power to do so.

''It is a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that's a lie,'' said Alsup, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
, a Democrat.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, in a statement, said Alsup lacked the power to issue the ruling and that the administration would "immediately fight back."

''The President has the authority to exercise the power of the entire executive branch — singular district court judges cannot abuse the power of the entire judiciary to thwart the President's agenda," Leavitt said.

#7  The problem with the judiciary is the same problem with any government that relies upon 'the right people'. There are no 'right people'. Much of the power and purview the American judiciary exercises are powers they granted themselves, not by Congress. It has devolved into a priesthood that restricts any citizen, as those who fill Congress or the President, from attaining. You must go to the right schools, get the right degree, be anointed by the judicial gate keepers of whom are all members of the caste. That they sit for life is an anathema to very nature of a republic no different than life long bureaucrats (ie. Fauci).
