At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this Just the News article, Ben Whedon reports that the Supreme Court ruled President Trump can fire Federal Trade Commission commissioners without cause, striking down restrictions that violated separation of powers.
- In a 6-3 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court held that subordinates exercising presidential power must remain accountable to the president, who answers to the people.
- Trump fired FTC Commissioners Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya in January 2025; the ruling upholds his authority to remove executive agency officials.
- The decision grants Trump broader power over independent agencies, reinforcing Article II executive authority against congressional limits.
- Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
- The ruling is seen as a significant win for presidential control over the administrative state.
- It aligns with ongoing efforts to restore constitutional balance after years of unelected bureaucrats wielding unchecked influence.
