A predictable pattern has emerged in the legal challenges against the Trump administration's actions, including attempts to dismiss protected officials or make drastic changes to government agencies. Following these actions, lawsuits are filed and federal judges typically issue injunctions against them. The appeals courts usually support these initial rulings, favoring plaintiffs. However, the Supreme Court intervenes to reverse these decisions, allowing the administration to move forward with its plans. Recent rulings have enabled mass layoffs of federal employees despite ongoing litigation.
The Supreme Court exactly followed this script yesterday, when it issued an emergency ruling that could potentially allow Trump to lay off enormous numbers of federal employees.
An appeals court backs the district court's decision. So far, so good for the plaintiffs. Then the administration takes the case to the Supreme Court-which hastily upends the lower courts' orders.
