Supreme Court Justices Appear Supportive Of Trump On All-Important Case

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority hinted Monday that President Donald Trump may have the power to fire a federal regulator without cause, raising the stakes in a showdown that could topple a 90-year precedent and rewire how Washington works.

For nearly three hours, justices sparred over Trump’s decision to remove Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat serving on the Federal Trade Commission, long before her term expired. Slaughter sued, arguing that Presidents are barred from firing FTC commissioners without cause under Humphrey’s Executor, a 1935 ruling that Congress has relied on to insulate certain regulatory agencies from politics.

The Trump administration opened the hearing with a direct assault on that history. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged the justices to scrap Humphrey’s entirely, calling it an “indefensible outlier” and a “decaying husk” that has “not withstood the test of time.”

That barrage set the tone, but what came next wasn’t immediately clear. Lawyers for Slaughter warned that erasing the precedent would mean “everything is on the chopping block,” threatening not just the FTC, but the structure of every multi-member agency Congress built to operate outside a president’s whims.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
