Why Supreme Court's approval of 1,400 US Education Department layoffs is called 'willfully blind' and 'naive'

The US Supreme Court has allowed President Trump's plan to lay off nearly 1,400 employees from the US Department of Education, overturning a lower court injunction. The decision sparked strong dissent from Justices Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan, who labelled it "willfully blind" and "naive," warning of constitutional risks. The layoffs, opposed by education groups and 21 Democratic attorneys general, threaten the department's ability to carry out federal education duties and follow funding obligations.
