Congress wrote laws to protect leaders of independent agencies like the FTC, SEC and The Fed from being fired at will. That’s the law. SCOTUS agreed in 1935.

Todays corrupt SCOTUS may tear that down. Benjamin Franklin warned us: the republic would only survive if we could keep it.
We're not.

Supreme Court will weigh expanding Trump’s power to shape agencies by overturning 90-year-old ruling

The Supreme Court will consider expanding President Donald Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning a nearly century-old decision limiting when presidents can fire board members.

Welcome to the Mafia Presidency

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo
