From the link:
The Trump administration can move forward with plans to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies, the Supreme Court announced on Tuesday. The decision could result in job losses for tens of thousands of employees at agencies including the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, State and Treasury.
The order, which lifted a lower court’s ruling that had blocked mass layoffs, was unsigned and did not include a vote count, which is typical in such emergency applications. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a public dissent.
The case represents a key test of the extent of President Trump’s power to reorganize the government without input from Congress. The justices’ order is technically only temporary, guiding how the administration can proceed while the challenge to Mr. Trump’s plans continues. But in practice, it means he is free to pursue his restructuring plans, even if judges later determine that they exceed presidential power.
It was the latest in a series of recent victories for the Trump administration before the Supreme Court on emergency requests related to the president’s efforts to rapidly reshape government.
Color me stunned. I think most folks would agree that Chief Justice Roberts is no "friend" of Trump, but it certainly appears with the US Supreme Court, Trump has had more wins than losses.
Having said that, I don't know how the effects of a "temporary order" can be reversed down the road. But I assume the folks who voted "for" the ruling will not change their vote unless there are clear reasons to change their decision. This is very much like a challenge to a ref's call on the athletic court or field. For a ref's call on the field / court to be reversed there needs to be clear evidence of an error.
Trump has been in office for about six months. Unlike Congress, he works 18 hours / day; seven days a week; and takes no vacations of substance. Congress couldn't wait to get out of Washington on July Fourth weekend; Trump kept working.
Those days on the golf course? Conversations with movers and shakers in America, usually business leaders. Which, by the way, should be some concern: there not a lot of non-pro women golfers seen in his foursomes, at least as far as I can tell. These are some of the women who have golfed with Trump in his foursomes:
- Annika Sörenstam, World Golf Hall of Famer and one of the most celebrated LGPA players ever;
- Lexi Thompson: LPGA star who has played multiple rounds with Trump;
- Natalie Gulbis: former LPGA pro and Trump appointee to his council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition.
