    It means Trump can fire the Chair, at least until the decision. If it goes against him, the Chair is reinstated. It’s a stupid decision since Trump doesn’t apparently have the legal authority to do it in the first place, but it’s similar to an injunction where the court decides that until a final ruling is made, it’s in the government’s interest to allow the act to continue.

      at least until the decision.

      Exactly. Now watch them not actually make the decision, allowing Trump de-facto dictatorial power while the issue officially remains in legal limbo.

        A valid point, and kind of what I expect. The Gilead Faction of the USSC hasn’t really been cagey about their plans.
