Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argued that the president of the United States should not be able to fire government experts such as scientists, doctors, economists, and PhDs, and she claimed it is “not in the best interest” of American citizens.
During oral arguments for Trump v. Slaughter, while talking to U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer, Jackson said she did “not understand” why “agencies aren’t answering to Congress.” Jackson pointed out that “Congress established them and can eliminate them.”
The oral arguments come after the Supreme Court, in September, allowed President Donald Trump to remove Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the former Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
“I really don’t understand why the agencies aren’t answering to Congress,” Jackson said. “Congress established them and can eliminate them. Congress funds them, and can stop. So, to the extent that we’re concerned that there’s some sort of entity that is out of control and has no control, I guess I don’t understand that argument.” …

Does he know we have a constitution??
She can define ‘expert’ but not ‘woman’!!!
What a joke.
Oy vey...
How would she know? She’s not a biologist.
That's because you're an idiot.
“Jackson said she did “not understand” why “agencies aren’t answering to Congress.””
uh, kenjanti, it’s because the US Constitution puts the President in charge of the Executive Branch, whereas Congress appropriates money and passes legislation that the President may or may not ratify!
we learned that in Junior High School back in the day!
apparently this SCOTUS moron, whose job it is to rule on the constitutionality of laws and activities, didn’t even pass Junior High School Civics!
All correct.
Congress can micro-manage parts of the Executive Branch with very detailed and specific legislation—but they choose to go there very rarely.
Unfortunately, the number of those who would recognize the stupidity is decreasing in number nationwide.
The same experts who told us all to take Covid shots?
KBJ needs to be fired and encouraged to emigrate to West Africa.....
Hey, lady, “experts” are not elected.
Our elected representatives should DEFINITELY have the power to fire them.
That includes the POTUS!!!
Fire all of those unelected unaccountable tryrannical ‘experts’.
We don’t have kings or nobility here, right?!
“Independent agencies wielding both legislative and executive power are not in the Constitution, and are therefore un-Constitutional anyway and should be dismantled by executive command.”
Many also have Judicial Power.
Another reason to terminate them, with prejudice.
Are these the same government experts who repeatedly told all Trump would never be president?
So... The deep state should be in charge of everything from top to bottom? They get to be their own executive?
You need to lay off the crack, Jackson.
It's that bad isn't it? She should be embarrassed to even open her mouth about the Constitution, which she really doesn't understand or has never even read.
IOW, they’re all dictators. Sort of like the Roman Republic and its biggest mistake for about five centuries.
Ketanji needs her nosy, low I.Q. butt sent back to Africa. She’s not smart enough to ever be an American. The Dipsh*t Jughead doesn’t even know what a woman is. She thinks everything without a pee pee is a skank.
Why bother with all of that legalese? What, do you think being a judge has something to do with interpreting and applying the law?
