WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge on Saturday rejected key elements of President Donald Trumps May executive orders that would make it easier to fire federal employees and reduce their ability to bargain collectively.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said in a court order that Trumps orders, which also would reduce the amount of time low-performing employees had to improve their performance before being fired, undermine federal employees right to bargain collectively.
Trump signed three executive orders in May that administration officials said would give government agencies greater ability to remove employees with poor performance, obtain better deals in union contracts and require federal employees with union responsibilities to spend less time on union work.
The directives drew immediate criticism from the American Federation of Government Employees, which said the moves would hurt veterans, law enforcement officers and others.
Jackson ruled that while the president has the authority to issue executive orders relating to federal labor relations, the orders cannot eviscerate the right to bargain collectively as envisioned in a long-standing federal statute.
The President must be deemed to have exceeded his authority in issuing (the orders), Jackson ruled.

When will congress finally get the balls to impeach these black-robed tyrants?
I don’t remember federal judges passing judgment on any of obozo’s executive orders. Is this different because someone decided to hang the “collective bargaining” hat on it? Possibly!
Fire the unnecessary federal workers and then FIRE this A$$HOLE judge.
It would be fun to watch a squad of Marines drag this black-robe traitor into the street and a waiting paddy wagon. This is the only solution I see since our gutless, bribed Congress refuses to impeach and remove these traitors who are trying to destroy our republic.
there has to be a mechanism for getting rid of these freaking liberal judges
by “getting rid of” I meant firing from their judge position.

Another Post Turtle.
Well the Left seems to thinks they are the Judicial. The Judicial and The Judicial. And law is by fiat not by legislation according to them.
O.M.G. Fire her, Mr. President!!
Every judge appointed by Obama should be purged.
Holy crap. Thank God Donald J. Trump won the election!!
Years ago, many years ago, my cousin who was a federal employee of good character, asked me to help solve a problem he and his unit faced with two government employees who were disrupting their work.
Protected by some union rules, I had to figure a way around those rules and come up with other internal alternatives. Here’s what I did.
I was allowed to enter the govt building legally and proceeded to photograph the desks and walls of these two individuals. Fortunately they stupidly “left” their desk drawers open enough to see inside them and to photograph the communist books and materials they had in there. Also photographed other communist materials on their desks, etc.
Gave them to my cousin who proceeded to talk with a friendly union leader (my cuzz was also a member of the union and more of a local leader) who also wanted to get rid of these two reds.
Wellllll!. To make a long story shorter, the union rep got their work unit leaders to reassign them to dead-end jobs (aka “pigeonholing them) to the point that both were gone in less than 6 months. No blood but no more reds.
Meanwhile, I also helped my cousin to contact a newspaper and provide them with information about a high-ranking Jimmy Carter affirmative action appointee who was not doing their job, took 3 hour lunches, refused to sign off on approved educational grants, and subcontracted (illegally) to his wife.
The story ran and they were fired, convicted of fraud,etc, and jailed. I love a story with a happy ending, and America’s children got badly needed money for their education.
If there’s a will, there’s a way. Make it happen. Think SMART!
Amazing how they are all connected in Government. We don’t have a Republic, we have a secret monarchy. Wake up America, and see what you unwillingly created.
Clinton fired federal attorneys not judges.

The only person who can fire federal judges is the Man upstairs.
