Democracy Wins as Court Strikes Down Trump’s Anti-Worker Executive Order

WASHINGTON – In a landmark decision, a federal judge has ruled that President Trump violated the U.S. Constitution and laws providing checks and balances in the federal government by attempting to deny more than 2 million federal workers their legal right to representation.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled late friday that the Trump administration’s May 25 executive order on official time violated the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the separation of powers as established in law. 

The American Federation of Government Employees, which was the first union to challenge President Trump’s executive orders in court, applauded the judge’s ruling.

“President Trump’s illegal action was a direct assault on the legal rights and protections that Congress specifically guaranteed to the public-sector employees across this country who keep our federal government running every single day,” AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. said.

“Democracy” wins lol

Good grief these idiots are so ignorant

A bloated, unionized, forced dues paying bureaucracy is the farthermost thing from a “democracy”

They will be stomped on appeal. This is so great. McConnel has pissed around on our judges. We have more that 100 appointed federal judges that we could do in 1 day but he is a deep state rino and thinks Trump’s election can be over turned. h\He needs hell in his ear!!

Ok, wait until it's time to negotiate another union contract. There's nothing Trump would like better than to have unionized Federal workers all go on strike because Trump wants these changes in their contract.

A “landmark decision” by a trial judge? Is that even possible?

The judiciary needs amended rules of civil procedure so that all these Federal court decisions invalidating legitimate action by the Chief Executive can be immediately reviewed by the Supreme Court.
