The employees putatively let go certainly have standing, in their individual names -- and it DOES NOT mean that what Trump/Musk did was in any manner. . . lawful.
Here is the preeminent Amy Howe, do listen in:
. . .The Supreme Court on Tuesday paused an order by a judge in San Francisco that would require the federal government to reinstate more than 16,000 workers who were fired by six agencies earlier this year. A group of nonprofits challenging the layoffs argued that the terminations by the Office of Personnel Management violated several different parts of the federal law governing administrative agencies. But by an apparent vote of 7-2, the justices nonetheless put the order by Senior U.S. District Judge William Alsup on hold. . . .
In a brief unsigned order, the court explained that it was not weighing in on the claims by other plaintiffs in the lawsuit – specifically, unions representing government employees, whose claims Alsup did not address because he concluded that he likely did not have the power to hear them. The court also did not weigh in on the propriety of the firings more generally.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor indicated that she would have denied the Trump administration’s request to pause Alsup’s order.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also would have turned down the Trump administration’s plea, because she would not have reached the question of the nonprofits’ standing to sue at this stage of the case. . . .
A federal appeals court rejected the government’s request to put Alsup’s order on hold while its appeal -- which the court agreed to fast-track -- moved forward. . . .
Now you now -- ever onward, but just now grabbing a quick bite -- at the taco trucks, in the chilly sunshine. Smile.
