A coalition of local governments, unions and non-profit organizations has won a temporary stay in the reckless and lawless Malignant Fascist's firing and dismantling of Federal employees and their agencies. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco blocked the efforts of the MF and his co-President, sociopath South Afrikaner Elon "Leon" Musk and his bogus "DOGE" group. From NPR:
"The plaintiffs argue in their complaint that President Trump's efforts to 'radically restructure and dismantle the federal government' without any authorization from Congress violate the Constitution.
Illston agreed with the plaintiffs, asserting in the hearing that Supreme Court precedent makes clear that while the president does have the authority to seek changes at agencies, he must do so in lawful ways.
'[T]o make large-scale overhauls of federal agencies,' she wrote in her ruling Friday evening, 'any president must enlist the help of his co-equal branch and partner, the Congress.'" (our emphasis)
Judge Illson's order applies to 20 Federal agencies, including the State Department, Veterans Affairs, and the Treasury Department. The order is in effect for two weeks, and the MF is appealing to the Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit. The Judge noted the contrast between the MF's first term behavior and his current one:
"She noted that in his first term, Trump did in fact seek Congress' approval for similar restructuring plans. 'He could have done that here, but he didn't,' Illston said."
Sadly, his MAGAt Congress will roll over for him at the slightest threat.
