It’s a DISGRACE that the lower courts tried to usurp the power of the Executive Branch!

AP News reported:

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Thursday declined to reinstate independent agency board members fired by President Donald Trump, endorsing a robust view of presidential power.

But the court suggested that it could block an attempt to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who Trump has complained has not cut interest rates aggressively.

The court’s action essentially extended an order Chief Justice John Roberts issued in April that had the effect of removing two board members who Trump fired from agencies that deal with labor issues, including one with a key role for federal workers as Trump aims to drastically downsize the workforce.

Neither agency has enough appointed members to take final actions on issues before them, as Trump has not sought to appoint replacements.

The decision Thursday keeps on hold an appellate ruling that had temporarily reinstated Gwynne Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris to the Merit Systems Protection Board.

While not a final ruling, the court said in an unsigned order that the Constitution appears to give the president the authority to fire the board members “without cause.”

The court’s three liberal justices dissented. “Not since the 1950s (or even before) has a President, without a legitimate reason, tried to remove an officer from a classic independent agency,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The court refused to reinstate Harris and Wilcox while their cases play out in the courts over warnings from their lawyers that their action would signal that Trump is free to fire members of every independent agency, including the Federal Reserve Board.

“That way lies chaos,” lawyer Neal Katyal wrote in a high court filing on behalf of Harris.

Defending Trump at the Supreme Court, Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices that firing Fed governors was a “distinct question” that is not presented in this case.

SCOTUS’ ruling has larger implications than just the firing of these two federal officials.

It creates a pathway for President Trump to fire other members of various independent federal agencies — including, potentially, the Federal Reserve.

NBC News noted:

The case tees up the significant legal question of whether Congress, when setting up federal agencies, can include provisions intended to insulate them from political interference that prevent the president from firing members at will.

Although the Trump firings concern only two agencies, any ruling that allows such firings would apply to other agencies too, and could lead to a key 1935 Supreme Court decision, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, being overturned.

If that happens, it would raise the question of whether the president would have the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve, which traditionally operates independently of the White House.

Very interesting…

Let’s see how this plays out.
