On Friday US District Judge Beryl Howell disregarded the Supreme Court’s ruling on Trump’s authority to fire labor board members in her decision to deny a stay of her finding that Trump’s ousting of US Institute for Peace officials (USIP) was unlawful.
The US Supreme Court on Thursday allowed President Trump to fire labor board members in a 6-3 decision.
“Because the Constitution vests the executive power in the President, see Art. II, §1, cl. 1, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents, see Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U. S.197, 215−218 (2020),” the Supreme Court’s decision said.
The high court said there would be more harm to President Trump in denying his right to remove the Biden-appointed officials.
“The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing are moved officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty,” the Supreme Court said.
However, Howell, an Obama appointee, said the Supreme Court’s ruling on NLRB and MSPB firings are not relevant to this case because USIP “does not exercise executive power and thus is not part of the Executive branch.”
“[T]he President does not have absolute constitutional removal authority over USIP Board members but must comply with the statute in exercising his removal power,” Howell wrote in her 7-page ruling reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Disregard the court. Simple.
Not one reason US District Judge Beryl Howell that disregarded the Supreme Court’s ruling should not be disbarred.
Timer is on
MAGA will be steamrolled by Midterms by these judges as Congress refuses to codify anything.
She is full of herself ain’t she?
She has no standing. None. The SC has spoken. Trump can safely ignore her.
I wonder how many of the justices are moonlighting on a second job. They sure as hell aren’t doing their job on the court.
Activists make VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD judges
To my knowledge, Congress has never called a lower court judge to a hearing to explain their ruling.
It would be so easy to embarrass them.
You budding Nazis should read the law. Trump’s action clearly violated the law. A president may only remove a board member:
(1) in consultation with the Board, for conviction of a felony, malfeasance in office, persistent neglect of duties, or inability to discharge duties;
(2) upon the recommendation of eight voting members of the Board; or
(3) upon the recommendation of a majority of the members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Education and Labor of the House of Representatives and a majority of the members of the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the Senate. (22 USC Ch. 56: UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE)
The SCOTUS ruling on the removal of the labor boars members did NOT say trump had that authority nor does the law governing the Labor Board apply to the US Institute of Peace. The justices determined that the constitutional and statutory issues whether the president can remove independent agency officials without cause should be resolved after full briefing and argument in the lower courts, particularly the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The law clearly states a president may remove a member but only Any member of the Board may be removed by the President, upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause. Trump’s removal of the members is clearly political. The removal letter sent to Wilcox stated that she and another board member were not “operating in a manner consistent with the objectives of my administration.” Not “operating in a manner consistent with the objectives of my administration.” does NOT reach the standard required for removal.
Another Nazi spouts off.
What’s unbelievable is how ready trumpeteers are to make trump a dictator.
