Fast Take: The Supreme Court and Firing Federal Workers

from Is That Even Constitutional? · host Sadena Thevarajah and Ken Thomas

On July 8, the Supreme Court lifted a district court order which barred the Trump administration from eliminating thousands of jobs across the federal government. Though an important case, this isn’t the end of litigation over those firings. However, those seeking to oppose these RIFs (Reductions in Force) will now need to challenge them in a more piecemeal fashion, making such litigation more challenging and expensive.
