From Fox News: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday agreed to temporarily halt the reinstatement of two fired federal board members, delivering another near-term win to President Donald Trump as his administration continues to spar in federal courts over the extent of his executive branch powers.
The brief stay issued by Roberts is not a final ruling on the reinstatement of the two board members, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) member Cathy Harris, two Democrat appointees who were abruptly terminated by the Trump administration this year.
Both had challenged their terminations as “unlawful” in separate suits filed in D.C. federal court.
But the order from Roberts temporarily halts their reinstatement from taking force two days after a federal appeals court voted to reinstate them.
Judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit voted 7-4 on Monday to restore Wilcox and Harris to their respective boards, and the Trump administration immediately appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.
Politico’s Kyle Cheney humorously wrote, “STICK WITH ME: Cathy Harris and Gwynne Wilcox have now been… Fired. Unfired. Re-fired. Re-unfired. Re-re-fired.”
