How long was it after The Supreme Court’s ruling that slaves were property that people said, “Wait, what?”
I don’t remember anything in the Constitution about “independent” agencies beyond the reach of the President.
Probably another reason FDR threatened to pack the court. After that they dared not defy him.
What the Supreme Court is looking at, is removing unconstitutional levels of power from administrative agencies.
“independent agencies”
Yeah, I think that’s the problem. No such animal. President Trump is definitely putting the entire executive branch under the control of the elected president.
If this keeps up, the Supreme Court is going to end up ruling that the entire presidencies of Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt were unconstitutional.
I love every moment of it. FDR wasn’t one of the original/major progressives of the Progressive Era.
The one missing piece is we need congress to start abolishing agencies and pulling back its powers.
These are not presidential powers. The FCC, OSHA, the FDA, the national parks, the EPA, Obamacare, and on and on and on and things I didn’t even name.
It needs to be abolished. All of it. Back to the states or back to Congress. It doesn’t belong with the president.
Then overturn the 1935 Firearms Act!!!
The headline is directed at the SC. The little children at AP live to stop anything Trump does.
Oh yes, to be sure, fully agree. But I was opining that nothing in our constitution even hints at federal agencies free from the Chief Executive.
Another Trump torpedo hits the SS Deep State:
You can always tell by the phrasing of the headline
Getting rid of Humphrey’s Executor is exactly what needs to happen. That would be more consequential than the overturing of Roe v. Wade. It would gut the administrative state.
According to Elena it’s right there in the penumbra and backed up by stare decisis so you can’t shed light in the shadowy corners of our government.
And that is a huge problem. There are ivy league careers built on books on the administrative state and now you want to gut all of that. One of my favorites in this category is Yalie Harold Hongju Koh who wrote "The National Security Constitution in the Twenty-First Century," published June 2024. If you look the guy up you will discover that the guy suffers from raging acute Stage V TDS. Now the Supreme Court has gutted everything the man stands for.
I smell bias stewing. With more than a soupcon of ignorance.
“The justices are expected to hear arguments in December over whether to overturn a 90-year-old ruling known as Humphrey’s Executor”
That would be a fantastic ruling!!!
I can’t find the section in the constitution where Congress is permitted to create an agency in the Executive branch that is independent of the executive branch.
Oh Kings! (and Queens)
Ok, this is about REMOVAL.
How did the commissioners get ADDED to begin with?
