The U.S. Supreme Court provided another victory for President Donald Trump on Tuesday, facilitating his executive order aimed at reducing the oversized federal government through extensive layoffs across various agencies.
In an unsigned ruling, the justices overturned a lower court’s decision that had prevented the president’s February 13 directive, which called for “large-scale reductions in force.” This injunction originated from Judge Susan Illston, who was appointed by Clinton in Northern California. However, the Supreme Court stated that her ruling was based on her personal interpretation of the order’s legality, rather than on the actual reorganization plans, which were not even presented to the court, as reported by The New York Post.
