Just in…
A district judge on Thursday blocked President Trump’s executive order calling for the closure of the Department of Education — as well as against the reduction in force that laid off half of the agency’s workers.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun’s order blocks the Trump administration from carrying out the mass-firing at the DOE announced in March and orders that any employees who were already fired be reinstated.
The ruling is a blow to Trump’s efforts to eliminate the department and the quick actions taken by Education Secretary Linda McMahon to make that campaign pledge a reality.
The plaintiffs “have provided an in-depth look into how the massive reduction in staff has made it effectively impossible for the Department to carry out its statutorily mandated functions,” District Judge Myong Joun said.
“Defendants do acknowledge, as they must, that the Department cannot be shut down without Congress’s approval, yet they simultaneously claim that their legislative goals (obtaining Congressional approval to shut down the Department) are distinct from their administrative goals (improving efficiency). There is nothing in the record to support these contradictory positions,” his ruling continues.

The ruling comes just a day after another federal judge blocked Trump’s administration from firing two Democrat members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board on Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton found that allowing unilateral firings would prevent the board from carrying out its purpose.

Wrong Judge NOT Your call
I think it’s time to put these judges in their places and remind them that they are strictly district judges who can’t just make whatever decisions they would like. It’s time to publicly ignore these unelected glory-seekers, especially those who feel their diversity gives them the right to do whatever they want. Close the damn thing…the Administration works for the voting public…not the “judges”.
SOCIALISM AT THE EXPENSE OF AMERICA’S CHILDREN!
If not for the Constitutional Republic’s biblically unqualified presidents, judges, and legislators* legalizing socialism (impossible under a biblical government), there would no “public” schools to shut down.
Regardless how much less a whore gets paid for her services than other higher priced whores, she’s nonetheless a prostitute. Hello Republicans! Socialism (impossible under a biblical government) is well and alive on both sides of the imaginary aisle.
For example, you’ll be hard pressed to find either a Donkey or an Elephant that’s not all in when it comes to the Constitutional Republic’s socialistic public education system, financed, in part, by the insidious property tax that’s responsible (along with eminent domain and public lands) for confiscating every square inch of private property in America.
This was made possible by Amendment 5’s provision for government confiscation (theft) of private property.
