The Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court on Monday to ask the justices to reverse a lower court order that has blocked mass firings and major reorganizations at federal agencies, a case that could have enormous implications for the president's power to reshape the federal government.

Former President Donald Trump has filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court to block a lower court's ruling that his mass firings of federal employees were unlawful, arguing that the firings were within his presidential authority. The appeal comes after a federal appeals court upheld a decision that Trump's actions violated civil service protections, prompting concerns over the stability and independence of the federal workforce. Trump's legal team contends that the president has the constitutional power to manage the executive branch as he sees fit, while critics argue that such actions undermine the merit-based system and could lead to politicization of government agencies. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case could have significant implications for the balance of power between the presidency and the civil service.
