The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.

The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.

    You’re wasting your breath. Ppl like OP bitch and scream about ppl abstaining but a Trump was going to happen eventually because the system is inherently flawed and Democrats wanted to keep it that way. You literally have leader of the Democratic caucus mad that voters are voting in more leftist candidates.

    Like you said it’s not a failure of the voters, it’s a failure of the party

      It is a failure of voters, too, but it’s a failure of the Republican voters and the “centrists” who fight hard to make sure that nothing ever gets done.
