US supreme court blocks ruling that 16,000 fired federal workers must be rehired

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.
57% : "The district court's injunction was based solely on the allegations of the nine non-profit-organization plaintiffs in this case," the unsigned ruling read.
33% : Probationary employees laid off in Trump administration's purge lose reinstatement in 7-2 ruling over legal standing The US supreme court has handed Donald Trump a reprieve from a judge's ruling that his administration must rehire 16,000 probationary workers fired in its purge of the federal bureaucracy.
24% : The victory, though limited, is likely to embolden the Trump administration in the belief that the spate of legal reverses it has faced since taking office can be eventually overturned in the supreme court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, due largely to three rightwing judges Trump nominated to the bench during his first presidency.
