As expected….
And?
When Trump leaves office?
There will STILL be a Federal Dept. of Eduction….
Defenders of the Department of Education are turning to the courts to save it after President Trump signed an executive order to abolish it and on Friday said he would move some of its most critical loan programs to the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Trump cannot abolish the department without an act of Congress, and it is not clear that legislation doing so could get through Congress….
…
“I expect that any actions to shutter the agency or to dismantle it will be challenged in the courts, and those challenges will prevail,” Julie Margetta Morgan, a former deputy under secretary of Education during the Biden administration, told The Hill earlier this month.
“I think the other thing to think about here is that the decision to dismantle the Department of Education is incredibly unpopular, and people need to continue to voice their concerns about that and their displeasure with the Trump administration’s efforts and to hold policymakers accountable,” she added.
“See you in court” was a common theme among opponents as Trump ordered Education Secretary Linda McMahon to dismantle the department as far as she is legally allowed without an act of Congress. …
…
But the department is already facing pushback for its efforts to self-eliminate, including laying off half its staff earlier this month.
The legal challenges to Trump and McMahon’s moves could quickly stack up. The courts have already hit Trump with multiple setbacks two months into his term, though the White House has voiced disdain for the judges ruling against his agenda.
“The courts are upholding the rule of law, that is their role. At the end of the day, we are the United States, because we abide by the rule of law. This administration has shown that it doesn’t respect the rule of law; they are aiming more toward an autocracy, which is radically outside American values,” said Patrice Willoughby, chief of policy and legislative affairs for the NAACP. …
…
“My sense is that congressional Republicans really don’t want anything to do with this idea of dismantling the department right now […] I just don’t think this is the hill that anyone wants to die on today, other than President Trump. So, I don’t think he’s going to get the support from Congress that would be needed,” Akers said…..
Note…
Court delays WILL work against Trump….They ALWAYS Do….
