The U.S. Supreme Court blocked on Tuesday a judge's order for President Donald Trump's administration to rehire thousands of fired employees, acting in a dispute over his effort to slash the federal workforce and dismantle parts of the government.

The court put on hold San Francisco-based U.S. Judge William Alsup's March 13 injunction requiring six federal agencies to reinstate thousands of recently hired probationary employees while litigation challenging the legality of the dismissals continues.

This made me cry. We really are losing our National Parks and forests, aren't we? That judges ruling gave me hope, and maybe it was that hope they made me think that the supreme court wouldn't do this.

Fucking assholes.
