6 thoughts on “Supreme Court allows Trump to lay off nearly 1,400 Education Department employees

  1. Gee, if only there was a functioning Congress made up of people serious about governing and doing right by the folks who elected them, as opposed to lining up for the privilege of bathing the boss’ tushie.

    The turkeys these MAGAts and their coconspirators are raising will come home to roost, but many of their voters won’t figure it out for years to come…

    and yes, Justice Sotomayor, Trump’s personal lapdogs on the Court know exactly what they are doing. They will allow the Executive to run amok, and eventually ignore one of their rulings, which will be excused by some “originalist” argument that the King, er President, has unfettered powers under the Constitution.

    1. I think you are wrong about the Executive Branch. Since 1948, there has been a consorted effort to weaken the Executive branch and allow the judicial and legislative branches to run amuck since 1948. Even to a point I think there is a good basis for a legal challenge of the 22nd Amendment. The 22nd amendment either needs to be applied to all branches of government or none. Term limits need to be applied to the other 2 branches of government. The failed policies of the US have built a house of cards financially and morally and crippled the population of the US.

    2. Interesting (but seriously in error) thought on the 22nd Amendment. It’s an amendment to the Constitution. It’s can’t be illegal, unless there is a challenge to the ratification process. Otherwise, it overrides statutory law.

      The 22nd Amendment can’t be applied to Congress or the Judiciary. Because it only applies to the President, it can only be applied to the President. If you want to limit the terms of Judges or Congress, you need to pass a Constitutional Amendment.

      We can debate the wisdom of doing so, in the context of a debate about a specific amendment. I think such term limitations are a bad idea.

      The legislative branch to run amuk? I think history does not support you. I think post-Roosevelt, whom Republicans thought had too much power (and thus the 22nd Amendment) there has been a re-balancing of the checks and balances written into the Constitution.

  2. Putting some politics aside, this is all a sign of resetting the economy. Someone had to be the bad guy. Geezers with the vacation homes better take your profit before the ego of the young buyers figure it out. Others might think about downsizing. Healthcare for elders will continue to climb.
    Life is in prepenapàuse.
    I can’t even find decent priced homes in other countries. Don’t rely on your kids. They were trained to be too busy.
    I need motta.

  3. The statistics overwhelmingly show that the Education Department has been a worthless waste since it was enacted in the latter 20th century. Our education policies have shortchanged our students since then, and reduced our kids and teachers to following the latest trends in unsubstantiated progressive experiments in failure to educate. Unfortunately our national teacher unions leadership has become nothing but bias political pandering aimed to remain in power without regard to actual education.
    Time for a change and time to allow the states to return to education policies and not the Washington Education Department.

    1. If that’s the case, then the proper course of action is to make the case to Congress, have a bill put forward and conduct hearings, and then let Congress vote on the continued existence of the Department of Education. In the meantime, Congress voted to establish the Department, Congress voted to fund the Department’s programs and to hire staff. If that needs changing, it should be up to Congress in consultation with the Executive Branch.

      But this Congress lacks the backbone to fulfill its Constitutional duties, and this Supreme Court is committed to seeing the ideology of its members, not of any “originalist” principle of the Founders, chart the course of the government.
