A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration, for now, from firing federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown.
The order came five days after the administration issued reduction-in-force notifications to more than 4,000 federal workers.
“The activities that are being undertaken here are contrary to the laws,” San Francisco U.S. District Court Judge Susan Yvonne Illston told lawyers for the administration on Wednesday at a hearing where she issued the temporary restraining order.
“You can’t do this in a nation of laws,” Illston said, according to NBC News.
This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.
Well if the judge is this powerful they should ask him to unilaterally “pass a funding bill” and reopen the government.
I can’t quite put my finger on that clause of the Constitution that allows a judge to do this..................
Oh. Look. A nationwide injunction issued in favor of unions, which don’t have standing. The judge seems not to have gotten the memo on SCOTUS decisions earlier this year
I thought SCOTUS already ruled that they couldn’t do this stuff.
Sorry your judgeiness but I don’t answer to you.
He/She/It/They/Them knows it will be overturned, but will give them street cred.....................
Seriously, we are living in a parallel universe with RATs on the other leg. Whatever they say, reverse the meaning. NO KINGS??? NO QUEENS??? Look to the judiciary usurping duly elected Executive power. There’s your wannabe kings and queens, not the President.
What law says you are required to be employed by the US Taxpayers?
I guess the judge can pay the salaries.
Force this activist hack “judge” to pay the salaries. /spit
“I thought SCOTUS already ruled that they couldn’t do this stuff.”
They did.
Who here is surprised by this? If you are, turn in your Freeper account.
The judge is saying F the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court will soon F the judge. And not just say it, eventually the Courts supremes will do it.
The DimWITS want POTUS to ignore a crap judge so the DimWITS can start impeachment. Trump is too smart!
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Yvonne Illston.
Appointed by the Sink Emperor, Bill Clinton.
And it will take time maybe get them past the shutdown then Trump can no longer legally fire them.
Maybe the 77 year old Clinton appointed judge should consider retiring since she can’t understand the USSS ruling!
The Constitution is the democrats number one target Trump exposed them big time.
Is this and other federal judges getting a paycheck? It’s shutdown time.
