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.

Doesn’t matter how many we have. All they need is one.
days ago
Didn’t realize how close we came to this:
“”Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson is a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. In 2016, she was reportedly interviewed as one of Barack Obama’s potential nominees for the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Antonin Scalia.””
I was thinking the same thing. It’s tyranny when Trump writes an executive order; it’s “democracy” and “justice” when a Left-wing hack judge overturns it.
AFGE does not even know we are a Constitutional Republic. It also appears to me deer in the headlights Sessions should be challenging all these liberal judges that now think they are legislators.
Play “Hail to the Chief” when she takes the bench.
This drip apparently missed the decision by the Supremes stating that people could not be forced to join a union, nor to pay union dues to one they never joined, or to support a union’s political activities. I think Ms. Bigshot will be reversed by the Supremes, if it gets that far.

So wrong. They don’t have the Supreme Court , We have slowly gotten 29 Court of appeals judges in place, They need 1 district court judge, 2 appeals court judges and 5 Supreme Court judges. That makes 8. This is 8th grade civics.
Can a “judge” be a nitwit?
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson needs to be impeach, convicted and removed from office, then indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced for sedition.
Decision by Obama stereotype hack judge. This should go to the SCOTUS. Stupid liberal, leftist decision that will be overturned.
Of course this parasite would say that. He is the president of the freaking union! It is his easy bread and butter.
A legal license to steal.

LOL!
The main parasite is wrong again.
No decision is a "Landmark" decision unless it is contested and the Supreme Court makes the ruling.
Dumb and arrogant makes this main parasite the ideal candidate to manage a deadbeat union.
This has nothing to do with “Democracy”, in fact this is pure Marxism as clothed in trade unionism. To advance this abomination, you need a Marxist corrupt Federal Judge and they found one. Even Franklin Roosevelt understood the nonsense of implementing union representation among public servants. Once this arrangement was it in place, it was obvious that those who were excluded from this “reform” was the American citizens, the voters, the taxpayers and the politicians could devise a corrupt arrangement that rewarded Democrat politicians and the union leaders using the taxpayers money. It is as further from Democracy than can be imagined.
yes and polotical pimps totally bought and paid for. I assure you . For example Alce Hastings
Better if they shoved it up her a$$
And, upon conviction, stood in front of a wall, and summarily shot.
There is more than one way to skin a cat. The worst of the worst should be reassigned or get transfers.
“I know you are a GS-12 but we do need a janitor in Fargo ND.”
A non-elected judge, overruling by judicial fiat what is clearly within the exclusive purview of the elected POTUS - and the Executive Branch - is “Democracy.”
Somebody needs to tell this stupid b***h that we are a Representative REPUBLIC.
