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.

The Trump administration pleaded with the Supreme Court on Monday to put the brakes on a lower court ruling that stymied its efforts to carry out mass workforce reductions. US Solicitor General D. John Sauer ripped the lower court ruling as “flawed” and claimed that it is causing “ongoing and severe harm” to the administration’s efforts to fulfill President Trump’s reforms.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer claimed the district court's order included "multiple fatal flaws," and urged the Supreme Court to pause the lower court ruling.
