Summary
A federal court has ruled that Trump’s unprecedented firing of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox was illegal and ordered her reinstatement.
Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the President can’t terminate NLRB members at will, directly rebuking Trump’s self-image as a “king” or “dictator.” She state, “no one in our system of government was meant to be king – the President included – and not just in name only.”
Wilcox sued, arguing her removal violated labor law, leaving the board without a quorum needed to rule on cases. The White House defended the termination, claiming Wilcox was a “far-left appointee with no place in the Trump administration.”
Labor leaders condemned the move as undermining NLRB independence and halting federal labor law enforcement.
Yeah, I think a lot of MAGA, and other Republicans, don’t realize that the ‘radical left’ democrats, would be seen as right-wing by many other western nations’ standards. And the whole thing about them being the ‘leader of the free world’ is sickening and hilarious at the same time.
Canada is 11th in the Cato Human Freedom Index, while the US, the ‘freest nation in the world is 17th’. They have no business talking to us, or ANYONE ahead of them in that index, about being free. And most of the nations ahead of them in that freedom index, are from Europe, the ‘socialist nations’ as MAGA and others like to call them.
