Trump's firings of independent agency heads put 90-year-old Supreme Court precedent in crosshairs
Summary
Trump's recent firings of independent agency heads have triggered legal battles that could lead the Supreme Court to overturn Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (1935), which protects certain officials from at-will removal.
Critics argue Trump is deliberately provoking a test case to expand presidential power.
The DOJ now refuses to defend for-cause removal protections, aiming to bring independent agencies under direct presidential control.
With conservative justices signaling support for revisiting the precedent, the Court may soon decide whether to uphold or dismantle these long-standing protections.
Why do these weirdos want a king so bad? Why do they hate America? And I mean that. Every Trump voter fundamentally hates America.
Neo-Confederacy. The slaver South never forgot or forgave, because we never forced them to at the end of a rifle. They kept their hate for the Union alive for all these years.
The plantation owners of old were essentially feudal lords in terms of wealth and influence, so a quasi-monarchy is on brand.
Because Trump said no abortions. That's literally it, it doesn't really get deeper. As long as he says "yeah sure no abortions" they will follow him into oblivion. He's doing "god's will" and everything, even the existence of this country comes second to that. They do not want a free democracy, they want a Christian ethnostate.

I’ve never met an actual Christian in America. They’re all fake as fuck, and there’s nothing about abortion in the Bible. It’s one of the easiest moral questions, one that ethicists don’t even bother to debate anymore: no, we shouldn’t force women and children to give birth to rape babies. wtf.
In saving babies they're going to kill so many more people. More disease, more hunger, more depression and suicide, more desperation and violence are on their way. They've ensured every fetus will live long enough to regret being born.
It's always been like that. A very large portion of conservatives have always hated America and everything it is supposed to stand for: democracy, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom both FROM and of religion, etc. They hate and loathe it. When they cry about how the corporate media is "too liberal", they basically tell on themselves all the time. Same for having conniptions over someone kneeling while a song played during sportsball...
