While the victories that President Donald Trump have been scoring left and right have been satisfying enough, these victories are especially sweet when none other than Emperor Obama has unwittingly lent a helping hand.
And that helping hand just arrived in the form of none other than one of Obama’s top appointees to the district court: U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper.
“I am honored to put forward these highly qualified candidates for the federal bench. They will be distinguished public servants and valuable additions to the United States District Court,” President Obama declared during the time of Cooper’s appointment, amongst others.
Lo and behold, Cooper absolutely became a deeply “valuable addition” to the district court, especially as the Obama appointee just shot down another attempt to attack Trump’s mass layoff program for federal workers.
“A federal judge Thursday refused a group of government employee unions’ request to block the Trump administration from moving ahead with plans to dramatically reduce the federal workforce. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that federal law mandates the unions bring their challenge before the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), which adjudicates labor relations within the federal bureaucracy, rather than a federal district court,” The Hill reported.
So, in other words, a bunch of drastically overpaid, woke union leaders, in all their manufactured outrage, declined to file suit in the appropriate legal forum, which is why Cooper was able to crush it with ease.
Troublingly, a number of unions were participants in this lawsuit, including the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), the National Federation of Federal Employees, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers and United Auto Workers.
And, apparently, the attorneys for every single one of these unions advised them very poorly, as every single union participated in filing a lawsuit in the incorrect forum.
Perhaps the unions enlisted DEI attorneys while turning a blind eye to basic merit.
In any case, Cooper declined to let the unions proceed in their lawsuit, though he was sure to issue a few negative remarks on Trump.
“The first month of President Trump’s second administration has been defined by an onslaught of executive actions that have caused, some say by design, disruption and even chaos in widespread quarters of American society,” Cooper wrote.
While the reference to “chaos” appears negative in context, the reality is that “chaos” was needed to upend the chaos brought forth by the Biden administration.
Starting with wide open borders and a massively bloated bureaucracy that was somehow able to address the ongoing challenge of wide-open borders.
“Affected citizens and their advocates have challenged many of these actions on an emergency basis in this Court and others across the country. Certain of the President’s actions have been temporarily halted; others have been permitted to proceed, at least for the time being. These mixed results should surprise no one,” Cooper continued.
Well, of course not. “Mixed results” are quite common in deeply divided, partisan states.
“The Court acknowledges that district court review of these sweeping executive actions may be more expedient. But NTEU provides no reason why it could not seek relief from the FLRA on behalf of a class of plaintiffs and admits that it would ask other agencies to follow an administrative judge’s ruling in its favor,” Cooper continued.
So, in other words, Cooper had an easy out because he was handed one by the unions themselves.
That said, Obama is likely seething over the fact that his name has been linked to yet another court victory for Trump, especially as multiple media outlets have reported on this development.
May such hilarity continue, because it’s always great when one Dem’s “valuable addition” becomes another victory for Trump.
