The liberal DC Circuit Court of Appeals handed President Trump a massive win on Saturday after a district court judge ordered him to rehire staff from far-left Voice of America that will have impacts lasting beyond just this one case, according to a legal expert.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a federal judge last month ordered the Trump Administration to rehire Voice of America (VOA) and other affiliate news services staff. The affiliate staff included Radio Free Asia and the Middle East Broadcasting Network.
In March, Trump placed employees and contractors for government-funded Voice of America on leave.
US District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, said Voice of America is funded by Congress and Trump’s cuts to the agency are “a direct affront to the power of the legislative branch.”
He then granted a preliminary injunction.
Thanks to this ridiculous decision, Voice of America staffers were set to return to work next week, and the station was set to resume broadcasting. But then an unexpected setback occurred this afternoon.
The DC Court of Appeals entered a stay of Lamberth’s injunction and suspended the first-instance decision, blocking the order that allowed them to return to work.

Here is a link to the Court's ruling:
Just how is it that The Law is not easily understood and that all legal beagles don’t come readily to the same conclusion?
I am getting so I cannot look at the judges’ rulings anymore. It is so depressing.
“Just how is it that The Law is not easily understood and that all legal beagles don’t come readily to the same conclusion?”
Because some reach their conclusion based upon the parties of the case and what they want to be true, and not according to laws and the Constitution.
I just read the D.C. court’s ruling and it is pretty solid. I didn’t bother reading the dissent because a) it’s longer than the decision itself (which is just 13 pages, and b) it is by Judge Pillard who was going to rule against the Trump administration no matter what the issue.
“I am getting so I cannot look at the judges’ rulings anymore. It is so depressing.”
This one is worth reading and may help that depression. LOL!
For instance, from the ruling:
“The government is likely to succeed on the merits because the district court likely lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to enjoin USAGM’s personnel actions and to compel the agency to restore RFA’s and MBN’s FY 2025 grants.”
“Because some reach their conclusion based upon the parties of the case and what they want to be true, and not according to laws and the Constitution.”
Are you saying that The Law is a Donkey?
Some of them can't even define the word "woman" because they don't have biology degrees.
LOL! I love that meme!
Here is an article from RedState on the Court’s ruling as well:
“Wow: D.C. Circuit Hands Trump Administration a Huge Win That Will Have Far-Reaching Implications”
“Are you saying that The Law is a Donkey?”
Well, to put it politely, yes....yes I am.
I'm getting so I cannot look at judges, lawyers or liberals.
“Well, to put it politely, yes....yes I am.”
Just where does that put Traitor Roberts and his handmaiden Amy Conehead?
I’m getting so I cannot look at judges, lawyers or liberals.
I think a large percentage of our judges, lawyers, and liberals are now on China’s payroll. China didn’t invest so much money in University departments just for the fun of it. They expect a return on their investment and I think the “collection man” is now a calling.
That is great!
Better outcome than simply ignoring the courts.
BFD
It’s a bone to fend off criticism
Abolish the DC Circuit now
The judges on this panel were Cornelia Pillard (Obama) — who dissented — Gregory Katsas (Trump), and Neomi Rao (Trump).

China’s day is coming. And it will likely be sooner than anyone thinks.

Logical thinking is everywhere in legal reasoning, which most leftists are terrible at. However, the role of judge seems to be heavy on mind reading and predicting the future, a leftist playground.
Yes, that, too.
