What do you mean? Judges don’t have any authority in this new fascist America. He’s not gonna comply.
You don’t need to support him, you know.
If you took that to mean I do, you’ve misinterpreted. The judge lacks an enforcement mechanism. That sucks, but it’s the truth.
What I mean is that the constant flippant “he can do what he wants” supports him now in the same way the confident “we’re safe because what he suggested is illegal.” if Trump was really that powerful the judges that would rule against him wouldn’t have the chance.
Things are bad, but acting like it’s already over literally strengthens the fascists.
Alsup, a San Francisco-based appointee of President Bill Clinton, ordered the Defense, Treasury, Energy, Interior, Agriculture and Veterans Affairs departments to “immediately” offer all fired probationary employees their jobs back.
Keyword is offered their jobs back - the damage is already done and I’m sure plenty know their time would be limited and would merely move on to private sector (i.e. better paying) jobs.
That’s assuming the private sector had sufficient jobs on offer to absorb the flood of suddenly available people in specialized disciplines.
some damage yes but this is big for limiting further firings.
