 Supreme Court allows Trump to resume Education Department layoffs
by Zach Schonfeld and Lexi Lonas Cochran - 07/14/25 3:30 PM ET

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to resume efforts to dismantle the Department of Education in an apparent 6-3 vote along ideological lines, lifting a judge’s order to reinstate hundreds of employees terminated in mass layoffs.

The administration’s victory enables the president to move closer to fulfilling of one of his major campaign promises to oversee the elimination of the Education Department, which was created in the 1970s.

The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical in emergency decisions. The court’s three Democratic-appointed justices publicly dissented, calling their colleagues’ ruling “indefensible.”

“It hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

“The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave,” they continued.

Since entering office, the administration has sought to lay off half of the Education Department’s workforce and move some of the agency’s core functions, such as managing student loans, to other federal departments. 

U.S. District Judge Myong Joun blocked those efforts in May. Ruling that Trump needed congressional authorization, Joun ordered the administration reinstate the roughly 1,400 workers laid off in March.

The Supreme Court’s ruling lifts Joun’s injunction as the litigation proceeds in the lower courts, but it is not a final decision. The dispute could return to the justices.

Following the ruling, Education Secretary Linda McMahon vowed to carry out the layoffs once again.

"First lady Melania Trump helped convince president to get tough on Russia, he says"

"As he explained his decision to get tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said his wife was one of the people who directly pointed out to him that Putin always backs out of his promises following their phone calls over a peace deal.

“I go home, I tell the first lady, ‘You know, I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.’ She said, ‘Oh, really? another city was just hit,'” he said, recounting one of their recent calls..."

He looks just like Ilhan Omar, her brother/husband and her daughter. Not that I'm implying all Somalians are related, but ...

Somali family trees have few if any branches.

And the weird part is, and I ask this question again here:

If Ghislane Maxwell has the leverage, what is she doing in jail?

...Which makes no sense.  :shrug:

Makes perfect sense if it involves Israel's Mossad. 

Can't find a better "Dead Man's Switch" than that!

Now THAT is interesting. So let her present the list to somebody in Congress then we'll go from there. If people committed a crime (certainly this magnitude of crime), they should do time, as always.

See, now that's the tricky bit, because Congress doesn't want her to present the list... Because if the list is presented it is read into the Congressional record,which is a public record. Evidently that's bad for them in some way.  :whistle:

Let's ask the forum, am I wrong?

Yeah....   @DCPatriot was thinking (alluding) that the Epstein Girls were more 17-ish jail bait, than little girls.  Both are wrong and illegal,.......  But molesting the 12/13 y.o.'s is just 10 levels more beyond  despicable.

I think you were over the top with that accusation.  Just my opinion.

This country has dealt with sensitive and classified materials before.  Get this list, or whatever tally there is to Congress, and let us know who the slimeballs  are so we can purge this "elite class pedophile" club out once and for all.  Hell, let's open a second wing at Alligator Alcatraz to let them finish their lives if guilty.

Clinton, Gore, Gates, Hollywood, whoever, ......   even Trump if he is guilty.  I don't care....   finish this, and let the country move on,

Never thought I'd hear a pro-pediphilia comment on here.  :thud:
