The Supreme Court has approved a request for intervention by the high court and blocked a lower level court ruling that stopped the Trump administration from reducing the size of government. In an 8-1 ruling [SEE HERE] with again only Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent, the court has stayed the lower court ruling.

WASHINGTON – […] The Trump administration can move forward with plans to fire tens of thousands of workers across the federal government, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
A judge in California had blocked the layoffs, finding that they would likely violate federal law. But the justices granted an emergency appeal from the administration seeking permission to enforce a Feb. 11 executive order that instructed agencies to carry out dramatic “reductions in force.”
In an apparent 8-1 ruling, the high court said it was not assessing the legality of any particular agency’s layoff plans, nor any moves taken so far to implement those plans. Litigation over the downsizing efforts is sure to continue. But for now, the justices said, the administration can enforce the executive order and a memo from the Office of Management and Budget implementing that EO.
The high court’s unsigned decision — which the majority explained in two terse paragraphs — lifts an injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, who had blocked 21 agencies from complying with the mass layoff orders.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the court to record a dissent. (read more)
Justice KBJ was a radical DEI implant operation conducted by the people around former President Obama. The people around President Obama knew how stupid and ideological KBJ was about constitutional law when they organized her ascension plan. Stupidity was a feature of their agenda, not a flaw. She is an embarrassment to the court and to our nation.
KBJ puts any argument against The Bell Curve to rest.
She is at least 4 SD to the left of the mean.
does SCOTUS not have any type of internal standard by which to measure a justice’s adherence to basic constitutional standards?
I thought there were only three standard deviations on each side of the middle?
For a normal distribution, 3-sigma contains 99.7% of the distribution so generally is considered to be nominal. But in quality control, there was the push to perform at 6-sigma.
FIX 2020!!! Illegitimate biden’s KBJ is GONE!
The federal payroll is only 4% of the total budget.
If fully half are cut, that’s only a 2% reduction in the budget. Insignificant vs. the accelerating gargantuan debt growth.
DOGE was promoted on the false pretense of reducing federal spending and debt, only achieving a couple hundred billion savings at last count, or about 3% of budget – again, insignificant.
You’ve been played.
Likewise the illegal immigration and deportation promises by Trump. You’ve been played:

Starting to catch on yet?
How about MAHA: Making a big show, while the biowarfare harming only the US axis continues, with more on the way.*
Are things coming into focus yet?
BBB: Continuing the debt growth acceleration past the point of no return – and you can’t “grow your way out of the deficit” without huge industry making things, which ain’t gonna happen in only a few years.
Is the game becoming apparent yet?
* Engineered pathogens, gravely harmful modRNA shots coerced into most of the populace with lies and suppressed safe alternative treatments, and the coming horrific sa-modRNA platform poised to flood into our bodies.

Anything else meant to discourage
Played? Most here at CTH are looking for optimal solutions. When an actual reduction in anything government managed occurs, that’s a win, regardless of how small. Eliminating half the cancer is only eliminating half, but at least that half can’t continue to metastasize. Is it all we hoped for? Not remotely, but better than any alternative I could have expected.
Keep clinging to such notions. That’s exactly what the Controllers want, as they sink the US axis.
Either one of the debt or the biowarfare would do it, but the Controllers like to hedge with multiple attacks.
We’re doomed!
/s
We’re not doomed.
Look at China for a glimpse of where we are heading, with respect to the surveillance/police state at least. The people still live. Some even thrive. (Work is good.)
Where we will differ from China is that we will not duplicate their industrial might. It appears we are being steered towards becoming a totalitarian vassal state in the multi-polar global governance taking shape.
Not having liberals calling you a piece of shit, because they have an easy job making 100k will benefit those near.
Life is about fighting for a winning perception now, not reality
‘Life is about fighting for a winning perception now, not reality.’
A life of illusion, manipulated perception instead of reality.
That’s the propagandists’ aim, and if the manipulated masses actually parrot this goal – extra points.
Everything is proceeding according to Plan.
“Hang on to your illusions, they’re all you have left.”
Hang onto your illusions—-. Looks to me that is exactly what you are doing.
Realize that its screen name is a slang word for a social misfit/nerd or a male appendage. Take your pick. 😊
Dork, you live or work in China? Just wondering.
Not clinging, eyes wide open. Getting some of what I want is better than all of nothing I want. We here aren’t remotely ignorant of the looming debt bomb, nor of the possibility of biowarfare (C19 for starters, anyone?) My focus is crystal clear and you haven’t enlightened us to anything most of us haven’t thought a great deal about!
Cheers!
Exactly. Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Exactly. It’s not just about lowering debt, it’s also about returning our freedoms, getting rid of these choke-hold communists always attacking, blocking our duly elected president.

“Eliminating half the cancer is only eliminating half, but at least that half can’t continue to metastasize. ”
Astonishingly uninformed analogy. Yeah, it scored lots of upvotes, but medically speaking, this was painfully ignorant of how cancer operates.
Which is easily cured, though the medical industrial complex does not want us to know! Dewormer is right!
Categorically untrue. I have multiple painful personal experiences with cancer and no interest in upvotes. Government growth IS a cancer, and anything that reduces its growth is a positive- you live to continue the fight.
His handle might just give it away! Maybe they just tried to access “The Daily Kos” and got waylaid into the weeds! Been here quite a few years and never recall seeing that handle before! Seeing more and more of this type of reply here!
No, pa, I’ve been here a while. My “handle” comes from “Anthem”. I don’t comment often because others usually say whatever needs to be said better than I can.
You are a moron, go away.
It’s not about the financial cost of the unelected bureaucrats. It’s about their bold faced actions defying the president by ignoring or even slow-walking policy and law. They did it unashamedly in Trump’s first term. He is making it where no one will have to fight uphill going forward.
A warning or a gloat? Get thee behind me…
This style of writing is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Catching on yet?
Federal employees might only be 4% of the budget, but they regulate and waste trillions.
Fire them. Fire them. Fire them.
Dork, for your name, is right!
The people in that 2% are the people driving the accelerating gargantuan debt growth. They’re not passive bystanders, they are the source o the problem.
Only a couple of hundred billion? You do realize that amount to thousands of dollars for every single working American?
<“DOGE was promoted on the false pretense of reducing federal spending and debt”
No, DOGE was promoted to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse. Which there isn’t that much (excepting if you disagree with policy choices you can consider those choices “waste”). But by RIFing a large portion of the workforce, you make it harder to execute those policies you consider “wasteful”. So that’s a plus, but you might also make it harder to execute policies you agree with. So kind of a two edge sword. For example, ICE.
Reducing the bureaucracy is vastly superior to the resulting reduction in budget. Money isn’t everything.
We just witnessed how sausage is made. I had hoped we wouldn’t have to see it. It’s a vile process.
President Trump knew, and was prepared to make trade offs to pass the BBB, which in his estimation was not expendable to Make America Great Again.
As hard to swallow as it is, if this was the lesser of the compromise offerings to get the deal done, we don’t want to imagine what it might have been without his strong leadership.
It also occurs to me that PDJT may have been praising and bolstering AG Bondi to insure her cooperation.
She’s the one who had to play the fool after she’d said repeatedly she would release the Epstein info that “was sitting on her desk”.
The cooperation of Patel, Bongino and even Karoline Leavitt was necessary.
We aren’t fooled about any of it.
In my opinion, the President and Sundance expect all of us to see the necessity of his decisions and the resulting action taken.
Ultimately, it’s on President Trump’s shoulders to save America. Meanwhile you and I can rest assured the President is working behind the scenes to teary and bring justice to present and future child trafficking.
What percent of u said went to aid countries and didn’t get lost or redirected.

The BBB was sold as a got to have in order to secure the border and deport the illegals.
We made the sacrifices to get it passed.
Now the administration needs to get on with fully securing the border and deporting the illegals.
Quit trying to back up. The deal is made. Now keep it.
Choose your own metaphor. Politics is a nasty occupation. God only knows the compromises that had to be made to pass the OBBB. A politician’s ONLY stock-in-trade is COMPROMISE.
All Democrats and these Republicans voted for Brown:
Useful idiots.
They area live arent they. Sacked people follow orders
KBJ is their SCOTUS Biden. A political ringer taking instructions from Dems on how to vote, with operatives likely writing her opinions.
She has probably hired some whiz kid former law review editors as her law clerks, but has carefully screened them for having the “correct” interpretation of the Constitution. Although some of her writing is so awful, it reads like it was written by the law student at the bottom of the class.
She has Obama on speed dial. She receives her “opinions” from him and his handlers.
Okay, but as Sotomayer corrects, this instructs agencies to plan for RIFs in accordance with the law. Not implement a plan. Kagan and Sotomayer will bulk at that.
“Kagan and Sotomayer will bulk at that.” They are already ‘bulked’ (fat), and they have also balked at much of SCROTUS’ rulings.
The very idea that the SCOTUS (or any federal court) has the power to “green light” the power of the Executive Branch is beyond comprehension.
That would be AMENDING the Constitution!
The courts are the one branch that has ZERO power over amendments.
Apparently there is a federal statute on reducing federal staffing. But Trump and his lawyers were shrewd enough to state that he was planning for RIF in accordance with that law. That got him Kagan and Sotomayor’s votes.
Whether he should challenge the whole civil service system as an intrusion on executive power is interesting, but I doubt he’ll try it for the time being. First building up the military, cutting regulations, closing the border, getting the gators up to speed for AA…
No, Brown is correct that historically Presidents have asked Congress to pass re-organization laws. But while there may be good policy reasons for doing that, that doesn’t make it a constitutional requirement. It seems to me a bit of an open question.
Some district judges do not pay attention to Supreme Court decisions, go figure! bill
and with their zero enforcement power Trump shouldn’t pay attention to them
Was that tweet from Biden (or maybe the Autopen) written of April 1? It really had to be a joke, b/c she is the dimmest lightbulb in the pack.
Just so we don’t forget, three Republican senators voted to confirm Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court: Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney. Final vote: 53-47.
U N I P A R T Y.
Why am I not surprised?
We have to deal with that moron Jackson for life. What a tragedy
She might be dumb enough not to look both ways before crossing the street and get hit by a Subaru driven by a tranny having problems shifting gears.
Not if she was an Autopen! If Brybem is illegal, so is she!!!
Did Autopen write that tweet?
KBJ is a shining product of the systemic problem in our education system that promotes certain groups based on victim status. On her merits, she would never have been accepted to anything past high school, yet she has a degree from Harvard of all places, supposedly passed a bar exam, practiced law at an established firm, clerked for a circuit judge and then clerked for Justice Breyer before being part of SCOTUS. On paper she looks qualified, but she clearly is not. [Source: Wikipedia]
She did not just suddenly become an embarrassment. She always has been and everyone she ever worked with or for knew it.
There are more qualified people for that career path who were never allowed to get started simply because they did not have DEI bona fides.
BINGO!!!

If I read the snippets right, it sounds like the court will allow the admin to ‘make plans’, but it sounds like they (at least the lefties on the bench) are willing to step in if the plans are ever executed.
How many times does the SC have to say that what President Trump is doing is ok ? It seems no matter how much they say it there is a globalist liberal judge who will put an injunction against it.
so basically you have 5 kentanji brown ladys on the court and the constitution is kaput…she simply doesnt even care that shes so wrong. this country is so close to falling apart its not even funny. it would already be over if trump had lost in 2016
I would like to know how Biden’s recommendation order to nominate KBJ to SCROTUS was signed. I have a sneakin’ suspicion that it was by autopen. IMO, the reason autopen was used during the “Biden” administration is because the doppelganger was unable to duplicate the real Joe Biden signature. A DNA test comparing the two would be interesting, also.
