The federal court of appeals voted EN BANC on Monday to block the president Donald TrumpThe dismissal of two federal board members overturned the appeals court, clarifying the way that the Trump administration would appeal to the Supreme Court.
A US Court of Appeals judge for the District of Columbia Circuit voted 7-4 on Monday to restore the positions of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) member Cathy Harris. It ended suddenly By the Trump administration earlier this year.
The majority cited Humphrey’s Enforcer and Winner v. United States precedents as aid in their decision, noting that the Supreme Court never overturned or reversed decades-old precedents regarding restrictions on elimination of government officials on “multiple ruling boards” including the NLRB and MSPB.

“The Supreme Court has repeatedly told the Court of Appeals to follow the existing Supreme Court precedent unless the Court itself has changed or overturned it,” the judge said in its opinion.

The panel found that the administration had not demonstrated a strong possibility of successful successful appeals, and did not grant a stay or showed irreparable injuries if it did not grant a stay, a legal requirement necessary to meet emergency court intervention.
The EN BANC decision overturns a decision reached just 10 days ago by a panel of three judges in the same Court of Appeals. The panel governs 2-1 in the favor of the Trump administration, allowing the dismissal to proceed, and urges plaintiffs to ask the appeal court to hear the case again.
The decision to hear the appeals panel of three courts from the same court, who were awarded on the issue late last month, is likely to be filled with intense scrutiny by Trump and his allies, is that the decision to hear the lawsuit again will be heard again.
It also all ensures that the Trump administration will move swiftly to appeal the matter to the Supreme Court for emergency review.

The Trump administration sued the Supreme Court for early losses. This is a strategy that appears to be poised to continue with the end of the NLRB and MSPB.
