When will the Supreme Court allow the president to fire its members and appoint them himself? American democracy would then be so transformed that the difference between it and Russia would become increasingly blurred. Given how helplessly American lawmakers are watching Trump’s actions, it won’t be long before that happens.
If our institutions give one person absolute power we’re basically trusting luck not law to protect democracy. That’s scary and I really hope people wake up to what’s at stake
>“My understanding was that independent agencies exist because Congress has decided that some issues, some matters, some areas, should be handled in this way by nonpartisan experts,” Jackson said. “Congress is saying that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy and transportation, and the various independent agencies that we have. So, having a president come in and fire all the scientists, and the doctors, and the economists, and the PhDs, and replacing them with loyalists, and people who don’t know anything, is actually not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States.”
The fight was lost in the 2024 election. It’s going to happen, why would anything good happen?
The Daily Signal is rediculously right wing rag that supports Trump’s move here.
>The Supreme Court’s conservative-leaning majority seems poised to scrap a 90-year precedent that has **insulated the deep state** for decades.
>Justices are weighing whether an elected president can remove executive branch officials serving on **supposedly “independent” commissions or boards**, and whether blocking the president from doing so violates the constitutional principle of separation of powers.
There are better, non authoritarian supporting, sources.
He already does have absolute power because no one even attempts to hold him accountable.
Congress is the one who can put limits on the Supreme Court. They can enact laws to limited the type cases they take up. There is no way in my opinion they should have interfer in the Texas redistricting case.
If this passes and gives Trump even more power, it will be just one more thing that Trump and the Republicans will use as a justification as to why they can never allow a peaceful transfer of power back to the Democrats.
This will bump up the stakes, and they can’t afford risking the Democrats doing the same thing to them that they are doing now or having the same level of power that Trump now has. So they’ll do ANYTHING to keep from handing power back to the Democrats: Rigging elections, denying the election outcome, refusing to certify elections, violence, or just plain not leaving office.
He has absolute power now because NOBODY is stopping him. Wake the fuck up!
No Kings
The current SCOTUS is illegitimate.
Another in a series of ‚just when you thought it couldnt get any worse‘.
If the president is the executive branch unto itself and the executive branch is all of the actual tangible, physical government that actually manifests the law…
Then what conservatives believe in is literal, by definition autocracy. They believe that the president is a king and the government is not the government of and by the people, of congress, of the constitution. They believe the government is the government of the leader.
That’s what unitary executive theory is at its heart.
Why hasn’t SCOTUS continued to slow walk these major issues instead of hearing one after another in the so called shadow docket? Seems to me when we had a Democratic Administration SCOTUS couldn’t be bothered to rule on an issue until 12-18 months passed. Kind of ruins their credibility, a bit.
They want to take over the Fed.
Narrator: the Supreme Court will let Trump do the bad thing.
We all know how this is going to go.
At this point, they know Trump is almost out of here.
If they pass this is for whoever replaces him, which in the immediate future, is puppet Vance.
This is blatently scary as the Supreme Court ignores precedent and weakens the infrastructure for checks and balances
The only reason Trump doesn’t have absolute power now is that he’s too stupid, lazy, and incompetent to seize it. Any future president can because of what SCOTUS has done.
John Roberts should change his title to Archbishop and crown Trump.
In the distance you hear a scream,
“What about Hilary’s emails!”
When/If a Dem president gets elected (almost certainly in 2028), they’ll have incredible powers. Bizarre that the Supreme Court is diluting its own power in this fashion.
Trump is really small minded and lazy. A President with big ideals, vision, and knowledge of government levers could do something truly transformative.
So their argument is that anything that falls under the executive branch should be under the full control of the President. Okay, fine. If Congress really wanted to clap back, they’d pass laws transferring all those agencies under the Legislative branch and tell him to fuck off.
It’s only as problem because Congress doesn’t want to assert its own authority and autonomy.
Is part of the problem that people defending these cases before the supreme court are incompetent? I feel like the lawyer defending these arguments was flustered and left without arguments several times.
This is an incrediby deceptive headline/article.
Soyomayor did **not** say that overturning Humphrey’s would give the President absolute power. She discussed a change that would „establish ***this*** absolute power of the President. i.e.: The absolute power to fire agency personnel.
The whole branch of govt is cooked if it’s overturned
I’m glad these conservative justices aren’t legislating from the bench like those activist liberals
Don’t understand a world that has so many people trying to give the one true ring to Gollum
If anyone knows the history the ability to hire or fire top officials like this is how Stalin first came into his power.
so he’ll get to overturned the mid terms. HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND SO DOES THE SCOTUS.
