Supreme Court allows Trump to lay off nearly 1,400 Education Department employees
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The Supreme Court allowed layoffs of nearly 1,400 Education Department employees despite objections that the move aims to dismantle the agency without Congressional approval.
- On July 8, the U.S. Supreme Court permitted President Donald Trump to move forward with removing approximately 1,400 staff members from the Department of Education.
- This decision followed lawsuits by 21 Democratic-led states and education groups arguing that the layoffs undermine the department’s ability to fulfill congressional duties.
- The layoffs, impacting about one-third of the staff, result from a March executive order in which the president instructed the department to wind down its operations as much as legally possible.
- Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, calling the decision "indefensible" and warning that firing half the workforce overnight risks crippling the department.
- The Supreme Court’s order clears the way for Trump’s effort to restructure the department while legal challenges continue in lower courts.

Supreme Court backs Donald Trumps master strategy to eliminate education before people learn what fascism means

If SCOTUS won't stop a lawless president, it should at least explain why
There is a problem with the United States Supreme Court. A big problem. A problem that goes far, far beyond its conservative slant and its penchant for setting aside decades of precedent (including this current court’s own precedent) to bend to the whims of today’s conservative wants. A problem that should trouble every single American, particularly the lawyers among us, regardless of political ideology. America’s highest court is not issuing…
