1) One issue in #HumphreysExecutor case Trump v. Wilcox is nature of power exercised by @NLRB and @USMSPB, which SG raised in stay request to SCOTUS (admin. stay by CJ): www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24... from 2_Wilcox-Harris%20Appl.pdf (🧵from X)

Under federal #law, #trump is free to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a member of the #FTC. But he has to provide a reason. #congress has defined sufficient cause to fire a member of the FTC as “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”

5) Partial obstruction in Millett’s dissent: circuit court’s duty to follow SCOTUS precedent, including Justice Sutherland’s swapping out of substance for slogans like “quasi-judicial” and “quasi-legislative” in #HumphreysExecutor

@Nonilex But after all, #humphreysexecutor was used to prevent #fdr from replacing a conservative. Now that the #gop has power, of course the ruling is inappropriate.

#situationaljurisprudence is not a basis for justice or integrity in government.

9) At base, Judge Rao’s dissent relies on her substantive view that #HumphreysExecutor should be overruled; while that contention may be correct about FTC & other agencies, it isn’t correct across the board

Let’s see if SCOTUS stands up for court precedent. #HumphreysExecutor. Pay attention to these words. They’ll be coming up a lot.

1) #HumphreysExecutor seems headed for #SCOTUS as en banc CADC denies stay of orders curbing dismissal of @NLRB & @USMSPB members: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/orders/docs/... 🧵(also on X)

I have no idea how this takes shape in practice, but at the tippy top of court reform in the post-Trump era is impeaching between four and five Supreme Court justices, Roberts, Alito, and Thomas to start. #SCOTUS #HumphreysExecutor

90 years of agency independence: under threat. SCOTUS now auditioning to see how big presidents can get. Grab the popcorn — this Jenga tower might come crashing. #HumphreysExecutor #IndependenceAtRisk #SCOTUSWatch #AgencyIndependence #RuleOfLaw #SCOTUS
