WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court gave presidents more control over key jobs in federal agencies on Thursday, ruling that the way the Securities and Exchange Commission selected in-house judges who enforce investor protection laws violated the U.S. Constitution.
The justices agreed with President Donald Trump’s administration that the SEC, in having low-level staff install administrative law judges, infringed upon powers given to the president in the U.S. Constitution’s “appointments clause” regarding the filling of certain federal posts.
The ruling could reverberate through the federal government, which has nearly 2,000 administrative law judges who....

This is YUGE! ALJs make many decisions every day that affect everyone.
wish this story was still up top on FR because there’s no point in post the following on the old thread.
McCain is getting attacked on Twitter over IRS business:
Twitter: John McCain: TWEET: Cindy & I are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend Charles Krauthammer. Brilliant, kind, funny & generous, Charles stands as an example to all of us of how to live with civility and a passion for the truth...
reply: stacie: Would you like to explain Senator why you instructed Lois Lerner to target conservative groups until they were ruined?

This is a huge blow to the administrative state, the importance of this cannot be overstated.
“Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented.”
These two c*nts are going to be getting really lonely at the SCOTUS. Who knows, maybe they will get so melancholy that they’ll croak! Doesn’t it bother anyone that they are called “Justices,” when all they’re interested in is prolonging “injustice?”

John McCain isn’t worthy to clean the cow patty residue of of Charles Krauthammer’s boots after he went for a ride.
Then I am happy.
STANDS??
Did they really say that?
Reminds of the Joe Biden gaffe, telling the man in the wheelchair to stand and take a bow.
the article says it could affect 25 agencies, so, maybe so!
Good!
In late stages of glioblastoma, there is no ability to tweet. There is barely left the ability to string a few words together.
Something is wrong with the McCain picture.
Either the Senator has someone standing in for him, or he’s faking.
BTW FakeNewsMSM is TOTALLY IGNORING the Judicial Watch/McCain/IRS story.
There’s plausible reason to believe that McCain is faking his demise because the Trump Camp has the goods on him.
Wouldn’t he be keeping his head down and his mouth shut instead of continuously poking the bear?
Nice meme....but replace the beer with a diet coke...PDJT is teetotal.
I noticed that, too.
