should be charged as traitors and immediately stripped of all judicial power

A federal judge on Friday issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) blocking the Trump Administration’s effort to overhaul and reorganize 20 agencies in the Executive Branch.
In February, President Trump implemented an executive order to completely overhaul the Executive Branch through the work of DOGE.
US District Judge Susan Illston, a Clinton appointee, said in order for President Trump to make such large-scale overhauls, he needs approval from Congress.
“It is the prerogative of presidents to pursue new policy priorities and to imprint their stamp on the federal government. But to make large-scale overhauls of federal agencies, any president must enlist the help of his co-equal branch and partner, the Congress,” the judge wrote in her order on Friday evening.
“As a group of conservative former government officials and advisors have written to the Court, “Unchecked presidential power is not what the Framers had in mind,”” the radical Clinton judge said scolding Trump’s decision to overhaul agencies in the Executive Branch.
Judge Illston paused any reduction-in-force (RIF) notices to workers in 20 federal agencies.
The judge’s TRO comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the anti-American AFL-CIO and American Federation of Government Employees.
Judge Illston enjoined DOGE, the State Department, Treasury and other agencies.

Ignore and proceed.
Federal judge decrees there will be no more full moons because it causes religious discrimination and some barking that keeps him up at night.
Pretty sure another Judge issued a similar order and was reversed.
Another day, another commie judge needing impeachment.
It is only an insurrection if Repubs do these tactics.
They certainly did expect the POTUS to have control over the executive branch (a co-equal brench, not servant of legislative or judicial) and they certainly didn't expect low level judges to have veto power over everything he does while at the same time being totally unaccountable with no way to get rid of bad ones or override them short of hoping another judge isn't also an activist.
They excel at creative writing. This opinion is 42 pages of BS. A reduction in force (RIF) is done by statute. The executive branch initiates it. There is no judicial veto permitted by law.
How can they do this.
Here is Federal Judge Susan Illston from the Federal District of Northern California. She is a 78 year old appointee from Clinton. Many of her high profile case judgments have been overturned by her own 9th Circuit! At least one other by the Supreme Court.

She has now issued a global (Universe?) restraining order against the Executive branch for reorganizing the Executive branch without permissions of Congress or the Judiciary. Somehow the judge in California has Constitutional Supremacy over the Executive branch?
It’s called the Executive Branch for a reason.
Maybe Trump could designate all these judges to be terrorists.

The judge is correct and the Executive Order is ultra vires, beyond the power of the Presidency. It is a Legislative power that has not been delegated to President Trump or any other president since 1984.

AFGE v Trump, CAND 25-cv-03698-SI (9 May 2025)
At 26-27:
a. Actions by President TrumpPlaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claim that the President’s Executive Order 14210 is ultra vires, as the President has neither constitutional nor, at this time, statutory authority to reorganize the executive branch.
“In the framework of our Constitution, the President’s power to see that the laws are faithfully executed refutes the idea that he is to be a lawmaker. The Constitution limits his functions in the lawmaking process to the recommending of laws he thinks wise and the vetoing of laws he thinks bad. And the Constitution is neither silent nor equivocal about who shall make laws which the President is to execute.” Youngstown, 343 U.S. at 587.
Article I of the U.S. Constitution vests in Congress the legislative power. U.S. Const. art. I, § 1. “To Congress under its legislative power is given the establishment of offices, [and] the determination of their functions and jurisdiction . . . .” Myers v. United States, 272 U.S. 52, 129 (1926). “Congress has plenary power over the salary, duties, and even existence of executive offices.” Free Enter. Fund, 561 U.S. at 500 (emphasis added). While “[t]he President may create, reorganize, or abolish an office that he established,” the Constitution does not authorize him “to enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes.” Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417, 438 (1998) (emphasis added); see also Nat’l Fed’n of Indep. Bus. v. Dep’t of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Admin., 595 U.S. 109, 117 (2022) (“Administrative agencies are creatures of statute.”).
In 1952, the Supreme Court considered the validity of an Executive Order by President Truman, who ordered the Secretary of Commerce to seize most of the nation’s steel mills to prevent strikes from halting steel production during the Korean War. Youngstown, 343 U.S. at 582. Although various statutes authorized the President to seize property under certain circumstances, none of the statutory conditions had been met, and so the President claimed the seizures were lawful pursuant to his constitutional authority. In reviewing whether the district court’s preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of the order was proper, the Supreme Court explained, “The President’s power, if any, to issue the order must stem either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself.” Id. at 585. Where President Truman lacked both constitutional and statutory authority to seize the steel mills, the Supreme Court affirmed the district court injunction.
Youngstown applies here. Defendants do not claim that Executive Order 14210 issued under the President’s constitutional powers. Rather, they attempt to fit the President’s actions into existing statutory authority. Such statutory authority, however, is plainly lacking.

Prepared for Members and Committees of CongressSummary
[Excerpt]
Between 1932 and 1981, Congress periodically delegated authority to the President that allowed him to develop plans for reorganization of portions of the federal government and to present those plans to Congress for consideration under special parliamentary procedures. Under these procedures, the President’s plan would go into effect unless one or both houses of Congress passed a resolution rejecting the plan, a process referred to as a “legislative veto.” This process favored the President’s plan because, absent congressional action, the default was for the plan to go into effect. In contrast to the regular legislative process, the burden of action under these versions of presidential reorganization authority rested with opponents rather than supporters of the plan. In 1984, the mechanism was amended to require Congress to act affirmatively in order for a plan to go into force. This arguably shifted the balance of power to Congress. The authority expired at the end of 1984 and therefore has not been available to the President since then.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_reorganization_authority
Presidential reorganization authority is a term used to refer to a major statutory power that has sometimes been temporarily extended by the United States Congress to the President of the United States. It permits the president to divide, consolidate, abolish, or create agencies of the U.S. federal government by presidential directive, subject to limited legislative oversight. First granted in 1932, presidential reorganization authority has been extended to nine presidents on 16 separate occasions. As of 2024, it was most recently granted to Ronald Reagan.Presidential reorganization authority is designed to allow periodic refinement of the organizational efficiency of the government through significant and sweeping modifications to its architecture that might otherwise be too substantial to realistically implement through a parliamentary process.
Overview
The customary method by which agencies of the United States government are created, abolished, consolidated, or divided is through an act of Congress.
