Hillary Clinton warned that the Supreme Court’s Republican majority is “turning the clock back” with some of its recent decisions, including the “nonsensical” ruling earlier this week that gives the president the authority to fire members of independent federal agencies.
The former secretary of state pointed to the “mental gymnastics” that the high court performed when it backed President Donald Trump in his case against Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission, whom he fired without cause. The ruling on Monday overturned a 1935 precedent that had protected agency independence.
“I mean, it is a nonsensical — and it’s almost embarrassing to read, because they know it’s nonsensical, but they don’t care,” Clinton said during an interview published Thursday with Marc Elias, the founder of the progressive platform Democracy Docket.
She suggested that the court’s separate ruling that day allowing fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to keep her job for now made the Slaughter decision even less coherent.
“What we’ve got is a full court attack on fundamental principles of constitutional law, judicial precedent, of long-standing norms and interpretation, and it truly is turning the clock back,” Clinton added.(snip)
Clinton called on Democrats to “play the long game” like conservatives have when it comes to the high court.

It is not a matter of “turning the clock back” or turning it forward. It is about what does the Constitution have to say about this?
That interview should have been accompanied by two yardarms.
Each and every day, we are gifted with additional proof that the Hillabeast is an example that there was DEI for whites back when she was in ‘kollege’.
She thinks what she says is important...ROFL
She thinks what she says is important...ROFL
Doesn’t she remember about trying to fire all the white house staff when she was first lady?
She is terrified. And she should be.
The fact that this woman seems to be perpetually unhappy gives me a certain amount of satisfaction.
Especially after all that we know of that she’s done, and who knows what she’s done we may never know about.
I don’t believe in karma, but I have seen how life has a way of catching up to people.
What did she say about federal workers being fired for not taking the vax?
Why do we still have to listen to the criminal Hildebeast?
At once time, the resident union had a hand in firing the employee, which in one case lengthened the sad process over three years.
Ask pillary about all those employees miraculously fired while her husband was president.
That was her other face talking.
Vince Foster would like to turn the clock back.
Absolutely.
That's why she's on MS-NOW.
There is no swamp without em
We declared Independence 250 years ago because people like her...she is an enemy of freedom...and considers herself a Queen.
Says the woman who fired the whole White House Travel Office and sicced the FBI on Billy Dale. Remember Travel Gate Hillary?
Isn’t it nice to know that every, single, day, it galls her that she will never be President?
Maybe Hillary owes these people and its payback time.
