Judge who ordered fired federal workers to be reinstated now says ruling applies to 19 states and DC

apnews.com/article/trump-mass-

A federal judge who had ordered the Trump administration to reinstate fired federal probationary employees across the country at more than a dozen agencies has narrowed the scope of his ruling so it now applies to workers in the 19 states and the District of Columbia that challenged the mass dismissals…

"DOJ moves to boot federal judge from Perkins Coie case"

Next move for the #Trump regime: if a #judge doesn't rule in your favor, use the power of the Federal Government to seek their removal from cases, which petition then justifies appealing anything that comes from such cases.

I suspect #impeachments of #judges who don't do as they're told by the executive branch, using Trump's captive #GOP #Congress, will be next.

"Trump & his team have spent the last week ruthlessly going after Judge James #Boasberg, the one who demanded the administration turn around their illegal flights to #ElSalvador. It wouldn’t be a stretch for #Howell to imagine suffering the same fate. Multiple law enforcement agencies proved this week their willingness to use violent force on behalf of #Trump against law-abiding #Americans; why should a #judge be any different?"

Text from article: Howell ultimately ruled that she would not grant the TRO, allowing the destruction of USIP to play on. Throughout the hearing and in announcing her decision she expressed confusion about what the plaintiffs were actually seeking, and whether they could prove they’d suffered irreparable harm. But in her stunning about face, it was impossible not to think back to her earlier question about whether an armed battle would ensue as a result of siding with USIP. Trump and his team have spent the last week ruthlessly going after Judge James Boasberg, the one who demanded the administration turn around their illegal flights to El Salvador. It wouldn’t be a stretch for Howell to imagine suffering the same fate.

Stand Down, Elon Musk

A court ruling rips the billionaire head of DOGE for his unauthorized actions, but can only go so far to rescue a doomed agency.

"yesterday’s ruling from #Judge Theodore Chuang of the federal district of #Maryland was the first time any judge has directly addressed the illegality of Musk’s appointment as head of #DOGE and then ordered his actions unwound."

Musk’s Role in Dismantling Aid Agency Likely Violated Constitution, Judge Finds

"Efforts by #ElonMusk & his team to permanently shutter #USAID likely violated the #Constitution “in multiple ways” & robbed #Congress of its authority to oversee the dissolution of an agency it created"

Headline: Musk’s Role in Dismantling Aid Agency Likely Violated Constitution, Judge Finds It appears to be the first time a federal judge has acted to constrain Elon Musk, a top adviser to President Trump. The judge also ordered agency functions be partially restored, though that relief could be temporary.

"Attorneys challenging Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act inform a federal judge that El Salvador's strongman is🚨laughing at his order to send back the planes — & defendant Marco Rubio is laughing along with him."
-A Klasfeld

Trump & his henchman are as vile & lawless as he. They laugh at the law of the land. Or is it? #Trump ignores the law. Will #SCOTUS continue to let him act unconstitutionally?

Another Visit To The Denver Metro Regional Science Fair (DMRSEF) As A Judge
--
clas.ucdenver.edu/denverscienc <-- link to science fair page
--
Another year as a volunteer judge for the DMRSEF, this time Senior Earth & Environmental - and with the added fun of four (4) special awards to decide (thank you to the sponsors/organisations!)
This is the ninth year for me, mentioned only to indicate how fun & genuinely rewarding it can be, such truly amazing student entries – and also mentioned to encourage you to volunteer to be a judge at one as well, the proverbial #payingitforward
(I always try and wear a nerd shirt, hence the egregious photo of me 😛 - and the sign, well... )

Elon Musk Gets His Most Brutal Smackdown Yet on #DOGE Firings

The judge slammed the #MassFirings as “illegal.”
newrepublic.com/post/192142/el

"A federal #judge has ordered the Office of Personnel Mgmt to rescind #illegal instructions to cull the workforce of federal agencies...

““The #OPM does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the #history of the universe, to hire & fire employees within another agency”"

Text from article: U.S. District Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California issued an order Thursday saying the directions were unlawful overreach by the OPM and “should be stopped, rescinded.” “The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency,” Alsup said. “It can hire its own employees, yes. Can fire them. But it cannot order or direct some other agency to do so. “OPM has no authority to tell any agency in the United States government, other than itself, who they can hire and who they can fire, period. So on the merits, I think, we start with that important proposition,” he said.

A U.S. judge has ordered President Trump’s administration to rescind a memo from the Office of Personnel Management directing other federal agencies to fire probationary employees. “(The) Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency,” the judge said. The order does not immediately reinstate any employees. Read more from @TheHill
