Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, said on Fox News Tuesday evening that a judge was reminded that the U.S. Supreme Court is “unauroded” to support several Trump administration cases.
In a ruling issued by the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the judge suspended a lower court order that sought to force thousands of federal probation employees to reinstate their positions after the Trump administration fired them. In “Ingraham’s Angle,” host Laura Ingraham asked Turley about the recent ruling, calling for the lower court’s request to rehire probation employees to be “strange.”
“This judge has won seven votes against him on this issue,” Tarley said. “The US president is permitted to run administrative agencies, and these judges need to remember that they are not anointed. Here, the president is allowed to scale down the size of the government and look for waste, and many of these early orders have been reversed for that reason.”

On March 13, Clinton appointee, U.S. District Judge William Alsap, directed the Department of Defense, the veterans, Agriculture, Energy, Interior and Treasury to revive more than 16,000 probation employees, saying the Department of Personnel Management violated procedures established by laying off workers.

The Trump administration filed a lawsuit in March with the Supreme Court asking to “stop the ongoing attack on constitutional structures before further damage occurs.”
“So I think what you’re starting to see is that the system is fixing itself,” Tarley said. “But I think Congress is in the mood to step in to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
In addition to the Supreme Court ruling on probation workers, the judge also gave the Trump administration two wins on Monday in a case involving the use of the president’s deportation. In a 5-4 ruling, the High Court announced that the Trump administration would be allowed to expel Salvador-related immigrants to Venezuela gangster Tren Aragua under the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 after a district judge tried to stop the order.
