Early February Liberal Supreme Court judge Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson voted against the government’s request for approval of the dismissal.
Conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito objected, saying the lower court did its best. They also doubt whether the court has the right to restore the president’s dismissal. Gorsuch debated their removal in his opinion in recognition of some of the president’s appointments, but he argued: “These officials usually seek remedies such as Backpay, rather than ban relief like restoration.”
