Hillary Clinton slams ‘embarrassing’ Supreme Court ruling expanding Trump’s firing power
MS NOW ^ | 7/2/2026 | Sydney Carruth

Posted on 07/03/2026 10:52:40 AM PDT by simpson96

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.

LOL. Do you know who else doesn't care, Hillary? We don't care about you. Other than as comic relief.

The woman has no sense of self awareness. She just won’t STFU!!! She thinks anyone cares what she has to say. Is it a subset of narcissism? What is her PROBLEM?

Darned if I know; but we certainly dodged a bullet in 2016 when Trump defeated her!

Hillary, if your political ambitions don’t work out there’s always the adult film industry.

“The fact that this woman seems to be perpetually unhappy gives me a certain amount of satisfaction.”

*************

Rest assured that she is haunted and tormented every day by the humiliation of losing to two political novices. She’s a miserable human being.

The Court should never legislate or make policy Hillary. We must not encourage them to do so.
