Does the circuit not know that or am I thinking of something else?
They just don't care. It's just like what they are doing with federal workers who can't use strikes as a collective bargaining tool. The MSPB was made to pacify federal workers and offer some sort of protection from partisan politics.
So trump just fired the board members so they couldn't make a quorum, and of course the supreme Court allowed it. They are relying on the fact that most Americans are too comfortable to risk jail time to stand up for their rights.
