The Supreme Court on Monday said President Donald Trump may proceed with his plan to carry out mass layoffs at the Department of Education in the latest win for the White House at the conservative high court.

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to pause a lower court order that required the Department of Education to reinstate nearly 1,400 employees.

The majority did not explain its decision in the brief, unsigned order. The court's three liberal justices opposed the order. Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the majority handed Trump the power to repeal laws passed by Congress “by firing all those necessary to carry them out.”

The Supreme Court allowed Trump’s Education Dept. cuts. A top Trump adviser is emerging as the likely next Fed chair. Why it matters: Trump has been critical of Powell’s decision not to lower interest rates, and has indicated the next Fed chair will have to be more responsive to the president’s desires.

"The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them," Sotomayor wrote.
