    Trump administration says acting OPM chief Charles Ezell won't show up at hearing in San Francisco Thursday where judge ordered him to testify. DOJ is also withdrawing his declaration in the suit over mass firing of probationary employees. Doc: www.do entcloud.org/do ents/25...

    DOJ submitted a declaration to federal district court then refused an order to appear to be cross-examined, then withdrew the declaration, then submitted another one that was basically identical.

    Judge Alsup was suitably pissed off by that. He issued a TRO and held that OPM exceeded its authority. He also ordered six US agencies to rehire thousands of people who, in his opinion, had been fired illegally.

    A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of probationary employees fired last month from a half dozen federal agencies.

    U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered the Trump administration to reinstate employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior and the Department of Treasury.

    Absolutely. Test everybody & every tenet of American jurisprudence just like the D's do when they're in the White House.

    Trump asks Supreme Court to curb judges’ power to block policies nationwide
    The emergency appeal comes in the battle over birthright citizenship — but it could have ripple effects in cases challenging many aspects of Trump’s agenda.

    President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to eliminate a key tool that lower courts have used to block various aspects of his agenda.

    In an emergency appeal Thursday, Trump asked the justices to rein in or shelve three nationwide injunctions lower-court judges have issued against his bid to end birthright citizenship. But his request could have repercussions far beyond the debate over the controversial citizenship plan.

    Judges have used nationwide injunctions to hobble many of Trump’s early moves, from his bid to end “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” programs to his cuts to federal medical research.

    But Trump’s acting solicitor general, Sarah Harris, argued to the Supreme Court that federal district judges have no authority to issue sweeping orders that block policies nationwide. Instead, Harris suggested, an injunction should apply only in the geographic district where the judge is located — or only to the specific individuals or groups that sued.

    “Years of experience have shown that the Executive Branch cannot properly perform its functions if any judge anywhere can enjoin every presidential action everywhere,” Harris wrote, contending that while administrations of both parties have lamented the practice, it has reached “epidemic proportions” during Trump’s current term.

    Lower-court judges issued 15 nationwide blocks of Trump administration actions in February, Harris asserted, although in some instances the same policy was blocked by multiple judges. That one-month total outstrips the 14 nationwide injunctions issued against the federal government in the first three years of President Joe Biden’s term, she wrote, citing a law review study.

    I think contempt of court might be pretty hard to enforce right now -- but maybe they're feeling insecure, for some reason

    They didn't hold Biden in contempt so Trump figures he's exempt. He's right. What's good for the goose is sauce for the gander.
