The Supreme Court order lifts an injunction issued back on May 22 by Judge Susan Illston of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, which blocked the Trump Administration from executing the president's executive order calling for layoffs and program closures.

"Because the Government is likely to succeed on its argument that the Executive Order and Memorandum are lawful—and because the other factors bearing on whether to grant a stay are satisfied—we grant the application," the order says, refuting Judge Illston's argument for granting the injunction.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor concurred with the grant of the stay, noting that "the relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force 'consistent with applicable law'" and the resulting joint memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) "reiterates as much."

While the Supreme Court order grants Trump's request for a stay of the injunction, it does not rule on the lawsuit by the American Federation of Government Employees, which it leaves to work its way through the appellate system.

"The decision could result in job losses for tens of thousands of employees at agencies including the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, State and Treasury," according to The New York Times.

Judge Illston's injunction is an example of how individual district court judges have been assuming that they have the authority to block national policy initiatives created by of the president of the United States. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
