The Supremes Vote 6-3 to Allow Trump Admin to Dismantle Department of Education

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday voted to allow the Trump Administration to proceed with a plan to dismantle the Department of Education.

In March, President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.

The president had declared:

We’ve got to get the federal government out of education.

Further:

The Department of Education has become a bloated bureaucracy that’s more interested in pushing its own agenda than in helping our kids learn.

And:

It’s time to put the power back in the hands of parents, teachers, and local communities.

In May, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from dismantling the department of education.

U.S. District Judge Myong Joun, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction blocking the Trump Administration from laying off Department of Education workers.

The judge wrote:

This case arises out of an attempt by Defendants to shut down the Department without Congressional approval.

Judge Joun ordered the Trump Administration to reinstate the Department of Education workers.

The Trump DOJ appealed Judge Joun’s injunction and the First Circuit Court of Appeals denied their request for an immediate administrative stay.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision allowed Trump to proceed with mass firings at the Department of Education.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor fumed in her dissent. She wrote:

This case arises out of the President’s unilateral efforts to eliminate a Cabinet-level agency established by Congress nearly half a century ago: the Department of Education.

Further in her dissent, Sotomayor complained her colleagues were enabling legally questionable action on the part of the administration:

When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.
