And it’s not the first time she’s done this.

Kagan's dissent is scorching and worth reading in full. She calls out the majority for effectively overruling Humphrey's Executor on the shadow docket and allowing Trump to break the law without even awaiting the Supreme Court's permission. She is alarmed.

And nowhere is short-circuiting our deliberative process less appropriate than when the ruling requested would disrespect—by either overturning or narrowing—one of this Court’s longstanding precedents, like our nearly centuryold Humphrey’s decision. Under that decision, this case is easy, as the courts below found: The President has no legal right to relief. Congress, by statute, has protected members of the NLRB and MSPB (like Wilcox and Harris) from Presidential removal except for good cause. See 29 U. S. C. §153(a) (permitting removal only for “neglect of duty or malfeasance in office”); 5 U. S. C. §1202(d) (permitting removal only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office”). And, again, Humphrey’s instructs that Congress can do so without offending the Constitution. Just like the agency at issue there (the FTC), the NLRB and MSPB are multi-member bodies of experts, balanced along partisan lines, with “quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial” (not “purely executive”) functions. Humphrey’s, 295 U. S., at 628, 631; see Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U. S. 197, 204, 216–217 (2020). So both fit securely within the ambit of Humphrey’s—as no one in the history of either agency has ever doubted. That means to fire their members, the President—under existing law—needs good cause, which he admits he does not have. The only way out of that box is to upend Humphrey’s. For that reason, the majority’s order granting the President’s request for a stay is nothing short of extraordinary. That order consents to the President’s (statutorily barred) removal of the NLRB and MSPB Commissioners, at least until we decide their suits on the merits. And so the order allows the President to overrule Humphrey’s by fiat, again
