My understanding of it is that the argument is being made that OPM made the choice to fire when the Departments/Agencies are the ones who are supposed to... its a seperation of powers thing.

The thing is.... Departments and Agencies are talking about further downsizing so what are they going to be hired for an hour then fired again? It isnt going to actually do anything. Plus when you look at the Senate Dems looking to shut down the government all nonessential are furloughed and most of those fired would fall into this jurisdiction lol so they what work for a day?

Its stupid I see how the process might have been messed up but it doesnt mean that the Departments and Agencies arnt continuing to downsize
