Judge Declines to Halt Trump's Firing of Inspectors General

[Epoch Times] A federal judge on Feb. 14 rejected an emergency bid by eight inspectors general fired by the Trump administration to have their jobs restored.

District Judge of the District of Columbia Ana Reyes forced the attorney for the inspectors general to drop the request for a temporary restraining order during a virtual hearing, opting instead for an expedited schedule to hear their request for a preliminary injunction.
The complaint will proceed at a regular pace, however.
Reyes expressed frustration that the plaintiff’s counsel, Seth Waxman, filed suit on Feb. 12 for the order requesting emergency same-day relief, which would have included backpay 21 days after the firings occurred, stating that her court’s staff was already overwhelmed with scores of other temporary restraining order requests.
Giggle
Addressing the written complaint arguing the plaintiffs faced reputational damage, Reyes proposed that a 30-day return to the office with a written reason why they were unfit for their jobs could actually cause even more reputational harm than what was already given.

All the public knows is that they were fired without cause, she said. There was no harm to their reputation because no cause, say of incompetence, was given, and such a termination could be seen as preferable.
Much easier to get a job in a blue state with the 'without cause' firing. Maybe the complainers will reconsider their suit.

#1 Judging from the way the suit was constructed, it sounds like somebody told the plaintiffs' lawyers that the fix was in... only it wasn't.

#2 The complaint will proceed at regular pace.
The judge said, "You weren't doing anything anyway, so you can continue to not do anything."

#4 This is like going through your partners phone messages and seeing they were blatantly cheating. They're all upset about your actions not their cheating.
