Even Scotus wont stop rump from gutting the federal work force 8-1 decision

So the injunction from California stopping the resident from doing RIF and changing the federal gov was over turned by Scotus by an 8-1 decision. Justice Jackson was the only one dissenting.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for the Trump administration to implement an executive order calling for mass reductions in the federal workforce. In a brief unsigned opinion, the justices temporarily paused an order by a federal judge in San Francisco that prohibited the government from carrying out the executive order while its appeals continue.

The majority explained that, in its view, the Trump administration is likely to prevail on its argument that the executive order and a memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management intended to implement the executive order are legal – a key criterion in determining whether to grant temporary relief.

further review. Not an expert, but I think that’s what ruling does. Just not positive.
