Limited SCOTUS Ruling on Firing of 16K Probationary Workers

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The court struck down by a 7-2 majority last month's ruling by US district court judge William Alsup because non-profit groups who had sued on behalf of the fired workers had no legal standing.
54% : In an emergency order, the high court stayed a California federal jurist's command to rehire workers across six government departments -- Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs -- while concluding that nonprofit groups who challenged the firings lacked standing.
