YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Supreme Court halts a judge’s order to reinstate federal probationary workers, after siding with the Trump administration for the second day in a row in emergency litigation, following Monday night's 5-4 ruling in a deportations case.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from today’s grant of the Trump administration's application in this latest case. The administration had filed an urgent appeal seeking an immediate halt to a California judge’s order to reinstate roughly 16,000 fired federal employees.

The high court also sided 5-4 with the administration on Friday in a case about canceling education-related grants.
