The Supreme Court ruled Monday to allow the Trump administration to move forward with layoffs at the Department of Education.
The ruling helps Trump partially fulfill his campaign promise of dismantling the Education Department.
“While today’s ruling is a significant win for students and families, it is a shame that the highest court in the land had to step in to allow President Trump to advance the reforms Americans elected him to deliver using the authorities granted to him by the U.S. Constitution,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement.
While the Supreme Court lifted an injunction on the Trump layoffs by a district judge, the case will return the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
If the appeals court rules against the administration, the president can, once again, appeal to the Supreme Court and get on its normal docket.
The injunction would not go into place to stop the layoffs until a final ruling from the Supreme Court.



“The Supreme Court ruled Monday to allow the Trump administration…………”
Did the court give permission for the executive branch to administer the Department of Education? Or, did they just affirm that the Executive Branch does not need to go get a permission slip from the court house every time they perform tasks specifically assigned to the Executive Branch by the Constitution?
