Donald Trump blasts court ruling on reinstating workers: ‘Judge putting himself in position of US president’

Live Mint  

US President Donald Trump defended his mass layoffs of probationary federal employees, stating that the Supreme Court may need to intervene after two federal judges ruled against his administration’s decision. It’s a judge that’s putting himself in the position of the president of the United States, who was elected by close to 80 million votes,” Trump said aboard Air Force One on Sunday. “And I don’t think that’s going to be happening.” Judicial rulings against mass firings Two federal judges—Judge William Alsup in California and Judge James Bredar in Maryland—issued rulings against the mass firings. Alsup’s statement: “It is sad, a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that’s a lie.” Trump’s mass layoffs and legal pushback As part of his plan to shrink the federal workforce, Trump ordered layoffs across six major agencies: Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and Department of the Treasury.
