SCOTUS: Trump can temporarily move forward with mass firing of some probationary employees

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The Supreme Court ruled that the allegations of the non-profit groups that brought the case were insufficient to establish standing.
55% : It also stated the non-profit groups assertions that services such as bathroom maintenance at National Parks and responsiveness to Freedom of Information Act requests would diminish failed to establish standing to sue.
53% : The American Federation of Government Employees was also party to the suit, but Alsup's ruling was premised on the claims by the non-profit organizations.
46% : The Trump administration sought emergency intervention from the Supreme Court after U.S. District Judge William Alsup in California reversed the firings of federal employees in their probationary periods -- typically those hired in the last one or two years -- at the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury.
