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.

All of these lower court judges who blocked the administration lacked precedent and statutory grounds. They just told Trump to stop because Trump.
If I understand this correctly, this is not just a procedural win — it’s a substantive reaffirmation of executive authority over employment and grant decisions, and a rebuke of lower courts that exceed their jurisdiction in politically charged cases. It could influence litigation strategies and court rulings in many Trump-related administrative law cases going forward.
Interesting piece of weekend good news. We will know just how good it is when the Monday quarterbacks begin screaming about it. Good for Trump, good for the USA.
No. I am NOT tired of winning!
The LIB/Lefty nitwits must be defeated...The stake must be driven into the hearts of all of these parasitic vampires.
