SCOTUS is no longer the respectful court interpreting our laws because activist federal Judges don’t care and always seem to find a loophole to continue decisions our Supreme Court has already decided against. But who can blame the loss of respect? After all, we have three members who disagreed with the ruling that men cannot play in women’s sports. What message does that send to lower courts?
This decision that Trump has the power to fire and hire is once again being challenged with a loophole that the progressives think will reverse the SCOTUS decision. This shows that activist Judges don’t care about the rule of law; they want to fight for the progressives, not our Constitution. After watching the kangaroo courts of New York, nothing surprises me. We watched live as two federal Judges ignored normal legal processes, and it was blatant and in-your-face rulings to get Trump. Somewhere along the line, our legal system has been corrupted with political Judges trying to make law, not interpret it. All IMO.
“In a 2-1 decision, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Trump administration’s firings were illegal because they did not allow for an appeal or the opportunity for the 19 intelligence officers to request a reassignment.
The Court further ruled that the Trump administration illegally made the decision based on the anti-DEI executive order signed by President Donald Trump upon entering office rather than “workplace misconduct” or “performance concerns.”
The Court of Appeals’ decision stands seemingly in defiance of a recent Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which stated that the President of the United States had full authority to fire to remove the heads of independent agencies at will. While the SCOTUS ruling was more narrow, many had assumed that the decision would have allowed the President more leeway in removing employees of the Executive Branch.
The new wave of firings came shortly after Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte took over for Tulsi Gabbard, who issued the order to remove career intelligence officers working on DEI-related activities as one of his first acts.”
