Judge blocks trump administration’s mass firings of federal workers
HUGE!!! Wonder what SCOTUS will do?? This judge is correct in that OPM can fire their own employees but not employees of other agencies. Long, long past time for Congress to DO THEIR JOB!!! #CongressDoYourJob #ProtectFederalWorkers #FuckOPM #FuckMuskrat
“Congress has given the authority to hire and fire to the agencies themselves. The Department of Defense, for example, has statutory authority to hire and fire,” Alsup said from the bench as he handed down the ruling Thursday evening in San Francisco federal court. “The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees at another agency. They can hire and fire their own employees.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/02/27/judge-probationary-federal-employee-firings-lawsuit/
