Court rules Trump’s firing of labor board official illegal, saying president is not a king

Judge orders reinstatement of Gwynne Wilcox to National Labor Relations Board after her removal by US president

www.theguardian.com

A federal court ruled that Donald Trump’s abrupt firing of a former senior official at the top US labor watchdog was illegal, and ordered that she be reinstated.

Gwynne Wilcox was the first member of the National Labor Relations Board to be removed by a US president since the board’s inception in 1935.

The framers of the US constitution “made clear that no one in our system of government was meant to be king – the President included – and not just in name only”, the judge Beryl A Howell, wrote in the ruling.

Howell presided over the hearing held on Wednesday on a motion for summary judgment in the District of Columbia. “The President does not have the authority to terminate members of the National Labor Relations Board at will, and his attempt to fire plaintiff from her position on the Board was a blatant violation of the law,” she wrote.

“A president who touts an image of himself as a ‘king’ or a ‘dictator,’ perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the US Constitution,” wrote Howell.

Article II of the US Constitution outlines the executive powers and responsibilities of the president. Howell continued, “in our constitutional order, the president is tasked to be a conscientious custodian of the law, albeit an energetic one, to take care of effectuating his enumerated duties, including the laws enacted by the Congress and as interpreted by the Judiciary”.

Wilcox filed the lawsuit early last month, alleging her removal was a “blatant violation” of the National Labor Relations Act, which stipulates that members of the board can only be removed for negligence or misconduct. Her removal left the board with only two members, lacking the quorum of at least three members required to rule on cases.

“I’m ready to get back to work,” said Wilcox after the hearing in a speech outside the courthouse today. “It’s not just about me, but I’m glad to be the face of this fight.”

A recession was inevitable at some point. It will be just a question of how long.

In your heart of hearts would you argue that alienating allies, laying off federal employees, engaging in trade wars with your neighbors and world at large, harassing and deporting 20%+ of your workforce, cancelling countless government contracts, and other choices I'm forgetting would aggravate that likelihood?

This is dumb. Humiliation isn't kryptonite for Trump. It's fuel. Hell, you're the average Trump voter. You're humiliated on here every single day and it hasn't changed a thing.

What are we (the rest of the western alliance) supposed to think? We gave the USA grace 8 years ago. Friends make mistakes. We make mistakes like Brexit. But to do it again on fukking steroids... not only start treating our most threatened ally as an enemy and our most violent enemy as a friend but playing hokey-cokey with a trade war with your closest allies and insulting other allies like France, the UK and the wider western alliance.

If the USA is only ever four years away from behaving like this we can't trust them like an ally anymore. We can't build together anymore. And tbh this whole party we've been having of American culture and products since the 1940s might have to stop too.

in 2024, the Dems failed massively on this. they were too busy talking about how trump was a "threat to democracy", when they should have been calling him a coward and sore loser, who isn't man enough to accept election losses. they talked about him with fear instead of scorn

but now;
- talk about his mental health, fitness, weight, and inability to leave the house without painting himself orange
-refer to him as Putin's bytch
-refer to Elon as President Musk
-come up with some similar term to "bidenflation", for if/when he fukks everything up
-just call him a failure and a loser in general

you can't deny that Dems' tone is fear of donald trump, when it should be mockery
