A federal judge has ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) by allowing the termination of nearly 800 contractors, marking a pivotal victory for the administration.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, determined that the USAID contractors did not establish that their dismissal would result in irreparable harm. The decision denied them the emergency relief they sought to block their firings.

The ruling aligns with Judge Nichols’ earlier judgment against a USAID union’s effort to stop the administration from terminating more than 2,000 direct-hire employees. He noted that the contractors’ harm was a direct result of changes made to their contracts by the government, suggesting they seek redress through alternative legal avenues.

The judge stated that any harm the contractors face is “directly traceable” to changes the government has made to their contracts, according to The Hill, indicating that they should seek relief through a different avenue.

Sooner than later we are going to have a constitutional crisis, unless the SCOTUS reigns in the district judges. At the critical point Pres. Trump is going to be forced to choose between what's right for America and is clearly a constitutional article 2 executive power and what a judge says. Pres. Trump will probably do what's right and the SCOTUS will discover that if they don't support Pres. Trump they will not only lose all credibility, but will discover they don't have the power to enforce their will.

I think a lot of these judges know they are stepping way out of bounds and are trying to find ways to avoid the conflict.
