The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to resume efforts to dismantle the Department of Education in an apparent 6-3 vote along ideological lines, lifting a judge’s order to reinstate employees terminated in mass layoffs.
The administration’s victory enables the president to move closer to fulfilling of one of his major campaign promises to oversee the elimination of the the Education Department, which was created in the 1970s.
The majority did not explain their reasoning, as is typical in emergency decisions. The court’s three Democratic-appointed justices publicly dissented, calling their colleagues’ ruling “indefensible.”
“It hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
“The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave,” they continued.
Since entering office, the administration has sought to lay off half of the Education Department’s workforce and move some of the agency’s core functions, such as managing student loans, to other federal departments.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun blocked those efforts in May. Ruling that Trump needed congressional authorization, Joun ordered the administration reinstate the roughly 1,400 workers laid off in March.
The Supreme Court’s ruling lifts Joun’s injunction as the litigation proceeds in the lower courts, but it is not a final decision. The dispute could return to the justices.
It marks the latest Trump administration victory at the Supreme Court, which has regularly intervened on its emergency docket to rein in lower judges who have blocked the president’s initiatives.
Days earlier, the justices enabled the administration to resume planning large-scale layoffs across a wider swath of the federal bureaucracy.

The DOE should DIE
Amy Coney Barrett fan club expands!
Great going, Justice Barrett!
Keep on trucking against the far left and the haters!
Teachers should be teaching, not training toddlers to walk out of class and stand at an intersection blocking parents trying to get to work.
“Supreme Court allows Trump to resume Education Department layoffs”
Allows? That’s some embedded programming.
I’ve called for it to be defunded for 30+ years.
Based on the rumors about Roberts, you have to wonder if the Epstein files (which supposedly don’t exist) are being used as leverage to cure him of his TDS.
Good deal Department of Education is a oxymoron thin it out.
6-3 I just love it!
Great, now do it. Afterwards, have Congress eliminate the agency. The states need to each handle their own schools.
Trump will transfer the processing of student loans from the Dept of Education to the SBA. The Dept. of Education will be greatly reduced, if not completely eliminated.
The president doesn’t need scotus’ permission to make changes to the exectutive branch.
Scotus AFIRMS his ability to make changes striking down a lower court that does NOT have persmission to tell the executive branch they can’t fire people.
This is why the whiners should just go away. The nationwide injunction is all that was lifted. The lawsuit goes on.
perhaps that “list” isn’t really missing.
“The Supreme Court’s ruling lifts Joun’s injunction as the litigation proceeds in the lower courts.......”
That is the key - against the lower court injunction, and it does not settle the matter in the lower court appeal process; after which, one side or the other will likely appeal the appeals court ruling to SCOTUS.
THEN and only then will you have a definitive SCOTUS ruling on EOs being enough to get rid of the dep of ed.
“It hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out,”
She only has one function: answer if it is constitutional or not?
At first, I thought ACB was too concerned with public perception of her jurisprudence.
She has learned to understand that she shouldn’t give a shit about what others think and is now in the solid conservative majority.
Likely
Most people are not aware of the rules for injunctive relief and what “irreparable harm” means. Basically, it is this: If legal damages (i.e. money) can make a Plaintiff whole, then the Plaintiff cannot have injunctive relief. This concept was absolutely ignored by the activist judges, which is in actuality judicial misconduct. Make no mistake, that is what is overturning these TRO’s, SCOTUS is just not saying so publicly because Robert’s concern about the optics. I say screw optics, if they are horrible incompetent bad biased judges, then it is appellate court’s and SCOTUS duty to call them out publicly.
