The Supreme Court's latest ruling represents a significant shift in legal precedent by allowing Donald Trump to fire leaders of independent agencies without just cause, directly contradicting a 90-year-old ruling. This decision has drawn dissent from all three liberal justices and raises concerns about the independence of federal agencies. Analysts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern critically examined this change, noting its implications for presidential authority and the future of agency governance, suggesting that the conservative majority is dismantling protections established for governmental checks and balances.
The Supreme Court's decision breaks with nearly a century of precedent protecting independent agency leaders from presidential removal, signaling a shift towards greater executive power for Trump.
This weekend, the conservative supermajority of the Supreme Court has given Trump significant control over the executive branch by undermining the independence of key federal agencies.
