Summary

The Trump Administration’s illegal firings of the very government watchdogs meant to protect federal workers from partisan attacks, has suffered another loss in court, as a second federal judge in 48 hours grants summary judgment and orders the immediate reinstatement by Trump of the chair of the Merit Service Protection Board created by congress to protect federal workers from partisan attacks. Michael Popok discusses the last 2 cases and explains that they are now on a rocket ship tied at the hip to the US Supreme Court, as the Court must determine if it is going to reign in Trump’s out of control power grab.
