The Democratic appointees said in dissent that the majority “favors the President over our precedent.”
The Supreme Court backed President Donald Trump’s power to fire independent federal agency members over dissent from the court’s three Democratic appointees, who said the majority “favors the President over our precedent.”
The majority on Thursday highlighted the president’s executive power and said he can “remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents.” The majority formally halted lower court orders against the government while litigation continues on the subject, with the majority saying that the government is likely to succeed in this case involving the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board, but that the court isn’t making an ultimate determination now.r
So basically the Supreme Court is saying that King Donald can continue screwing things up with regard to firing and replacing most independent agency members, which will work to our advantage in the long run. Eventually King Donald’s ineptitude will catch up to him.
