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.”

@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.

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

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
