Jane Koston: 最高法院近期几次裁决都偏向特朗普政府，但裁决方式很微妙，像是表面上支持特朗普，但实际上又避免引起广泛不满。具体体现在对被解雇联邦临时工案和驱逐被指控为委内瑞拉帮派成员案的裁决中，法院关注程序而非实质，试图在支持特朗普政府的同时避免激化矛盾。 此外，最高法院还暂停了遣返一名被错误遣返的萨尔瓦多人的期限，这与之前讨论的政府行为有关，因为法院可能裁定法院无权下令政府遣返被错误遣返的人。这体现出法院在处理特朗普政府的行动方面能力有限，此次裁决反映出法官不愿同时下令联邦政府重新雇佣如此多的联邦雇员。 由于存在其他类似案件以及部分案件仍在审理中，被解雇联邦雇员的最终结果仍不确定。政府必须给予被驱逐者合理时间来挑战指控，但鉴于特朗普政府的行为，这一承诺的可信度存疑。政府的通知中明确表示被驱逐者无权进行司法审查，这使得他们难以行使法律赋予的权利。 Leah Litman: 最高法院裁定原告（非营利组织）未证明其因解雇联邦雇员而受到损害，因此缺乏原告资格。法院在处理特朗普政府的行动方面能力有限，此次裁决反映出法官不愿同时下令联邦政府重新雇佣如此多的联邦雇员。 最高法院未就特朗普政府是否合法使用《敌侨法》做出裁决，而是裁定相关挑战必须在个案中进行，而非全面挑战政策。Amy Coney Barrett大法官与自由派大法官的部分观点一致，部分原因是政府在此案中缺乏“清白之手”，且政府在不确定法院是否能下令遣返被错误遣返的人的情况下，允许政府这样做风险很大。 政府必须给予被驱逐者合理时间来挑战指控，但这一承诺的可信度存疑。最高法院的裁决避免了负面新闻，但实际上却通过将挑战转移到效率较低的途径，间接地帮助了特朗普政府。 Stephen Miller: 特朗普政府将利用税务数据来遣返偷窃美国纳税人钱财的非法移民。 Mike Johnson: 需要对饮用水中氟化物的潜在健康风险进行评估。

Chapters
The Supreme Court delivered several temporary victories to the Trump administration, including halting the rehiring of federal workers and allowing the resumption of deportations. However, the decisions are narrow and leave much uncertainty. The rulings seem to favor Trump without openly displaying overt partisanship.
  • Supreme Court temporarily blocked lower court ruling to rehire thousands of fired federal workers.
  • Supreme Court allowed resumption of deportations of alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, but focused on procedural issues.
  • Another federal judge ordered the reinstatement of federal workers, creating uncertainty for affected employees.

Shownotes Transcript

The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration three successive wins this week, albeit temporary ones. On Tuesday, the justices halted a lower court’s order to rehire thousands of temporary federal workers. And on Monday, the justices paved the way for the White House to resume deportations of alleged foreign gang members using a wartime statute. That decision came just hours after Chief Justice John Roberts paused a deadline to return a Salvadoran man who was wrongly deported. Leah Litman, co-host of Crooked’s legal podcast ‘Strict Scrutiny,’ tells us everything we need to know about the court’s decisions.

And in headlines: Elon Musk and White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro escalated their public fight over tariffs, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy said he’ll direct the CDC to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water, and a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore the Associated Press’ access to the White House.
