    Yeah, but it also gives him the convenient ability to undo that ruling If a Democrat were ever to be elected, which, granted, is looking less and less likely.

      The ruling means that the chair is fired but the law suit over the firing will continue and if they win the lawsuit they will be reinstated otherwise they stay fired.

        That means they effectively allowed the firing. It’s not like people can stand around indefinitely waiting for the courts nor can the agency.

        Its letting Trump get what he wants without actually needing to make a real judgment on the legality. At this point the law seems to barely mean anything.

          Right, but in reference to “undoing the ruling” later, there is a misconception of what this ruling is. It’s quite common for a higher court to either enjoin or not enjoin something while a lawsuit over that thing makes its way through the courts. That’s all this is. It’s not the end of her fight, her case will move forward. And the Trump admin has already lost cases like this. It sucks for her personally, and we all agree the ruling should have been that she will stay in her position until the suit has been ruled on, but it’s not at all an unusual legal maneuver.
