White House confident Supreme Court will overturn shutdown RIFs decision

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped the federal judge who has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from firing more federal employees amid the ongoing government shutdown.

In response to a question from the Washington Examiner, Leavitt criticized Judge Susan Illston, of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as “another far-left partisan judge who was smacked down by the Supreme Court in July for ruling on this exact same thing in May.”
