Judge declines to block Trump administration's resignation offer to federal employees
NPR ^ | 2/12/25 | Andrea Hsu

After issuing two stays, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole has declined to block the Trump administration's deferred resignation program for federal employees.

The ruling comes more than two weeks after the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent an email to more than 2 million civilian employees of the federal government with the subject line "Fork in the Road."

The slime ball saw other judges’ corruption coming to light and scurried back under his rock.

I do think the heavy public exposure and personal dealing of judges coming to light after their egregious rulings is making some think twice now.

It’s possible that the Dems have sent out orders to back off the lawfare as it is likely polling really bad and could leave them with some really bad Supreme Court rulings.

“..I do think the heavy public exposure and personal dealing of judges coming to light after their egregious rulings is making some think twice now....”

Quite possible, at least for the ones with a modicum of intelligence.
Need to impeach a couple of the worst ones even though they’d never be removed from the bench due to the communist RATs in the senate. But the process itself would become the punishment. Drag them, along with their reputations, thru the process o having to take the time and expense of defending themselves for ALL the public to see...that’s what the commie RATs would do. What’s good for us should be just fine for them.

Good post—makes sense.

We had two good rulings today—let us see what tomorrow and the next day bring.

I just have this vision of some low level twenty something Congressional aide asking to talk to one of these judges.

“Why are you here, son.”

“Well, my boss is Congressman X and he wanted me to ask you a few questions.”

“Son, why would he want you to do that.”

Young guy fidgets in chair—looks very nervous.

“Sir ah well sir—he wants me to collect some preliminary information for the planned impeachment hearings against you, sir.”

Judge stands up, walks around the room a couple of times.

Judge says: “You tell your boss these exact words, please.

Message received.”

The offer is a generous gift. 8 months of full salary and it is totally voluntary but somehow this hack had found it illegal until now.

They’ve received phone calls. Back off or lose your judge seat.

Trump does not need some judge’s stamp of approval for his every decision. They don’t get a vote! If this keeps up Trump will have to use Presidential power to shut these rogue judges down. If the last President was able to have Trump prosecuted on bogus charges and possibly even attempted to have him assassinated, so there are definitely options available for President Trump.

He could likely do something involving national security. He could easily take action against these judges based on the claim that they are endangering the nation by usurping Presidential power and undermining The President on the world stage at critical times involving our national security. For example, there are very delicate negotiations taking place right now with Russia, a major nuclear power, who we are currently at war with, that are being negatively impacted by the actions of these rogue judges. Enemies of America may very well get the wrong idea about the stability of our government and the power of The President. There are many more examples.
