It's unsurprising the Thomas Court ignored precedent, ignored the explicit legal protections covering strikes. Also entirely expected that the Thomas Court rejected our Constition's separation of powers and continues to subsume Executive authority over administration. Two aspects are surprising, however. Justice Jackson's textualist sole dissent, asserting the Court should honor and adjudicate the law as written and render a legal decision. In other words, 8 justices, including 2 nominally liberals, are content to continue ruling based on their "vibes" alone. This radical ruling wasn't snuck thru justice Alito's emergency shadow docket.
