By John Kruzel WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Handing President Donald Trump another victory, the U.S. Supreme Court gave the go-ahead on Tuesday for his administration to pursue mass federal job cuts potentially numbering in the hundreds of thousands and the restructuring of numerous agencies.

The high court said it had based its decision on the legality of Trump’s executive order, and didn’t rule on whether any reorganization plans broke the law.

The administration had asked the court to step in after a judge in California blocked plans for reductions in force and to reorganize a swath of departments and agencies.
