The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.
The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.
Can the President remove SCOTUS justices now? Just asking for the next Democrat president.
Look at you thinking there will be a “next Democrat president”
I know right? Maybe a non-Republican in the next 100 years.
After all the 1000 year Reich only lasted 12 years.
That’s making me hopeful, as year 12 of maga is in 2 years.
The 3rd Reich was only stopped by other countries stepping in and forcibly removing them. That’s not happening this time.
Functionally it will be either a Republican or a Diet Republican.
Assuming there will be a Democratic president, I doubt they will undo anything. What administration would be willing to give up power?
Democratic one? Wouldn’t be the first time.
