SCOTUS order in DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL., v. GWYNNE A. WILCOX, ET AL [4/9/25]
Supreme Court ^ | 4/9/25 | Chief Justice John Roberts

Posted on 04/09/2025 1:40:44 PM PDT by CFW

Overview: Gwynne Wilcox (a member of the National Labor Relations Board) sued President Donald Trump challenging her removal from the National Labor Relations Board as a violation of the National Labor Relations Act, claiming that Trump did not meet the standard required for Wilcox’s removal under federal law and that Wilcox was not given notice and a hearing to contest her removal. Judge Beryl Howell ruled in favor of Wilcox, holding she was unlawfully removed from office. The Trump administration appealed and the case is now being heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Order: UPON CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants, IT IS ORDERED that the March 4, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 25-cv-412, and the March 6, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 25-cv-334, are hereby stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court. It is further ordered that a response to the application be filed on or before Tuesday, April 15th, 2025, by 5 p.m. (EDT).

Lady looks like a dude.

I think SCOTUS is largely going to end up siding with the administration. Say what you want about the putative conservative majority, but I don’t read any of them as power hungry.. they see what’s going on with the out of control judiciaries in Europe and Israel. These District judges are moving us in that direction. I see SCOTUS as putting a stop to it, because those other countries are already growing despotic, and could be on their way to revolution

THAT’S funny but true...We need a score card every day to keep track of NOW and THEN....or is it THEN and NOW?

If I can’t tell at first glance, I generally just fall back on calling someone by their name. But is that a man?

Why can’t they ever just dismiss these ridiculous district tantrums?

No greater judicial skank exists, well, except for maybe Boasberg and that Chutkan moron. Nevermind, the DC circuit is replete with Judicial midgets.

You can tell by the estrogenic, emotional, and reason-free “rulings” that it issues that it is female.

Much has been made of the 1935 Humphrey's Executor case, but, non-lawyer take here, is it pretty much said "yeah, if you wrongly remove someone from one of these (unconstitutional abomination) independent agencies, you have to pay them back wages."

SCOTUS very clearly didn't say "You have to keep them in their jobs".

Which would be, well crazy.  That's telling the Executive that he has to delegate the authority granted to him in Article II of the US constitution to some weird quasi-4th branch of government?  Which would be held accountable how to the American people?

Which of course was the point of these agencies.  They are not, in fact, accountable and were and are meant to be isolated from oversight by the people, which allows the wise experts to guide the majestic ship of state and the rest of society on the course they deem reasonable and proper.

That's "repugnant to the Constitution" as the saying goes, and should never be tolerated.

Also today, “Fourth Circuit Gives Trump Administration and DOGE Another Major Win”

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/jeff-charles/2025/04/09/court-shuts-down-effort-to-stop-trumps-firing-of-probationary-workers-n2655271

“Several leftist organizations have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) efforts to eliminate wasteful spending while streamlining government operations.

But after the Supreme Court issued a similar ruling, it appears the efforts to stop the administration from cutting federal staff have failed.”

After taking a second look, I think that is her father.

The Fourth Circuit case I referenced above was as follows:

Overview: Plaintiff states have challenged President Donald Trump’s executive order (“EO”) instructing federal government agency heads to prepare to initiate large-scale reductions in their workforces (RIF). The Plaintiffs claim that the EO violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the regulatory requirements for initiating that type of workforce reduction.
They seek the Defendant federal agencies to stop firing probationary employees, reinstate any employees who were fired as part of the mass terminations after President Trump’s second inauguration, not fire any employees pursuant to a RIF before reinstating the allegedly unlawfully terminated employees, and conduct any future RIFs lawfully.

Fourth Circuit Court’s Order from today:

“The Government is likely to succeed in showing the district court lacked jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ claims, and the Government is unlikely to recover the funds disbursed to reinstated probationary employees. Cf. Dep’t of Educ. v. California, No. 24A910, 2025 WL 1008354, at *1 (U.S. Apr. 4, 2025) (per curiam). The Supreme Court has stayed a similar preliminary injunction issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. See OPM v. AFGE, No. 24A904, 2025 WL 1035208, at *1 (U.S. Apr. 8, 2025) (mem.). We therefore grant the Government’s motion for a stay of the preliminary injunction pending this appeal. The Clerk will set an expedited briefing schedule.”
