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.

3 best things Trump did - defeat Jeb, Hillary, and Kamala.
As long as she’s breathing she maneuvering for “precious”!
You know its not likely I know its not likely she would be considered for the nomination again. However she clearly thinks otherwise and she will as long as she’s not at ambient temperature. Not only does her 2016 loss eat at her but so do the past Rat Prez nominees. Think about it Biden and Harris were chosen over her! That’s ego killing for her too!
We can’t have whole agencies immune to accountability, accountable to someone elected.
What a hypocrite. I remember her “copresidency” did massive firings on day #1 including every US attorney!
Three words:

Man, when are we going to be rid of this souless, American hating female dog.
She’s purely just jealous.
She speaks because she is the conscience of the Democrat party, which would otherwise lack any at all. Kind of like an antipope, she is the leader of those factions who believe she is the legitimate POTUS.
Al Gore was one, also. William Jennings Bryan was another. And Ted Kennedy, “Lion of the Senate.”
All these examples were considered slam dunk winners in presidential politics, and became face plant losers overnight.
Hillary originally lost to Obama. Then eight. years later, as a sure thing with her machine in place, she lost to Trump. Then she was passed over while her party picked a brain-dead Biden to instal with a fraudualnt election. She NEVER was and NEVER will be President.
Just shut up and go away, nacho president.
