The High Court will lift two lower court orders that prevent the president from firing members of the Independent Labor Commission.
On May 22, the Supreme Court formally blocked a lower court’s decision that prevented President Donald Trump from firing members of the Independent Labor Commission.
Elena Kagan of Justice, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson opposed.
On April 9, acting on behalf of the High Court, Supreme Court Justice John Roberts temporarily suspended an order by two Washington-based federal judges who blocked the Merritt Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and Gwyn Wilcox (NLRB) from shooting President Cathy Harris before his term expired.
The April 9th order issued by Roberts was called an administrative stay, and gave more time to consider the Trump administration’s emergency application to be seeking a block. The stay was allowed hours after the administration requested it. Roberts did not explain his ruling.
The new order says that an order issued by the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals remains in that court as “the appeal is pending.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
