San Francisco judge puts temporary pause on Trump's mass layoffs at government agencies

A federal judge on Friday issued a temporary pause on the Trump administration’s plans to restructure various government agencies and cut tens of thousands of federal workers because the government overhaul was not authorized by Congress.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston put a 14-day pause on the mass layoffs, siding with a group of unions, non-profits and local governments after they filed a lawsuit on April 28.

Illston said Trump may broadly restructure federal agencies, but only in "lawful ways" with approval from Congress.

"The President has the authority to seek changes to executive branch agencies, but he must do so in lawful ways and, in the case of large-scale reorganizations, with the cooperation of the legislative branch," Illston said. "Many presidents have sought this cooperation before; many iterations of Congress have provided it."

She pulled this one out from under the robe she was sitting on: the Executive can impose changes in the Executive Branch only with the permission of the Legislative and Judicial branches? Uh huh. And many iterations of Congress have granted that permission?

Not to worry, we have a Supreme Court to review the decisions of judges who believe they, not the president, have the power and duty to run the country, and rule accordingly. We can relax, knowing that wise Latinos are waiting to preserve and protect the Constitution. Like this:
