Summary
A federal judge has reinstated National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox, ruling that Trump’s firing of her was “blatantly illegal.”
Judge Beryl Howell cited a federal law allowing NLRB members to be removed only for “neglect of duty or malfeasance,” noting this was the first attempted firing in the board’s 90-year history.
Wilcox had been appointed by Biden to serve until 2028. The Justice Department argued unsuccessfully that the law protecting Wilcox was unconstitutional.
The NLRB, created in 1935, handles union disputes and protects workers’ right to unionize, established during a time when labor conflicts often turned violent.
And the consequences for Trump doing something illegal are…?
His decision getting overruled is the consequence.
So he doesn’t suffer any consequence then?
That would require a majority of Congress to do their jobs properly, and not be part of the fascist takeover.
Well yeah the consequence is he doesn’t get what he wants because it’d have been overruled
Trump is immune, yes, but they need to start handing out massive consequences for his flunkies. Obey illegal orders, get fucked
But then he’ll just pardon them - they all know they have a get of jail free card.
