SCOTUS allows Trump firings of federal board members while cases proceed
The administration had moved to remove Gwynne Wilcox from the NLRB and Cathy Harris from the MSPB, though both challenged their terminations.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Thursday to permit the Trump administration's firings of members of the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board while the case proceeds.
The administration had moved to remove Gwynne Wilcox from the NLRB and Cathy Harris from the MSPB, though both challenged their terminations. The Thursday decision will permit the terminations to proceed while the courts assess their case, CBS News reported.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Elena Kagan dissented.
The terminations saw two federal judges block them, before a panel of the D.C. Appeals Court paused those blocks but Wilcox and Harris asked the full court to hear the case. That body then reinstated the original stays.
