The Supreme Court's recent decision marks a significant shift for the American right, which has transitioned from staunch opposition to executive power to now embracing control over independent regulatory agencies. This ruling grants President Trump the authority to dismiss officials from agencies like the Federal Communications Commission. It challenges nearly a century of legal precedent and utilizes the Court's "shadow docket," suggesting a radical move towards a more centralized government authority. This aligns with the goals of Project 2025, which seeks to diminish the independence of these regulatory bodies.
In allowing the firings of members of these agencies, the right-wing majority would invalidate Humphrey's Executor v. United States, overturning decades of regulatory independence.
The ruling signals a radical shift in how the American right engages with government: from resisting it to embracing control over independent regulatory bodies.
