The Supreme Court ruled in favor of major layoffs at the Department of Education Monday. It’s a huge win for those who believe the department was a failure and in need of a huge reduction in size.
McMahon v. State of New York was a 6-3 decision, with the liberal justices dissenting. The case had been brought against Education Secretary Linda McMahon by a variety of lawsuits after she removed 1,400 employees from the Department of Education’s staff.
Specifically, the Supreme Court ruled that a lower-level federal court could not block the firing of Department of Education employees while the case was ongoing.
“Today, the Supreme Court again confirmed the obvious: the President of the United States, as the head of the Executive Branch, has the ultimate authority to make decisions about staffing levels, administrative organization, and day-to-day operations of federal agencies,” McMahon said in a statement.
President Donald Trump, who signed the executive order that led to the Department of Education layoffs, also celebrated the decision.
