Trump Gets Some Good Early Signs From Supreme Court In FTC Firing Case-lllllllllllllllllll

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in Trump v. Slaughter, a case that goes straight to the heart of presidential authority. The question is simple: Can the president fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission without cause?

If the Court rules in favor of the Trump administration, it would overturn nearly a century of precedent insulating members of so-called “independent” agencies from accountability. And based on the justices’ questioning, the Court appears poised to do exactly that.A ruling affirming the president’s removal power would restore long-eroded executive authority and rein in bureaucrats who have operated for decades with virtually no democratic oversight. For the first time in generations, the people elected to run the country — not unelected agency members — would have the final say over agencies that belong to the Executive Branch.
