US President Donald Trump can in principle continue with his policies of masses in the government. A federal judge previously blocked a Trump decree, but the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that this decree is within his power as president.
A lower court ruled in May that Trump as president does not have the authority to implement the masses of masses by decree, but that he needs permission from the congress. This made masses of masses invalid for more than twenty government services. The Supreme Court believes that Trumps decree is indeed within the law.
The Supreme Court consists of six of the nine members of conservative judges, of which no fewer than three were appointed by Trump during his first term. Incidentally, only one of the nine high judges opposes the decision, the liberal Ketanji Brown Jackson. She spoke of “clearly enthusiasm of this court to give the green light for the legal questionable actions of this president.”
The White House speaks of a “definitive victory for the president,” report press agencies. According to two anonymous sources from Reuters news agency within the White House, the judgment of the Court does not mean that dismissal can take place immediately. The Court of Appeal has only pronounced the legality of Trumps Decree, but specific proposals for masses of mass can still die on other grounds. For example, through legislation that protects the job security of officials.
