Ketanji Brown Jackson Argues Presidents Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Fire Bureaucrats Running Independent Agencies — Justice Brett Kavanaugh Shreds Her Argument​

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unleashed a full-throttle defense of unelected bureaucrats on Monday during oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, openly arguing that presidents should not be allowed to fire the PhDs, doctors, and so-called “experts” who run America’s “independent commission” scam.
In other words, bureaucrats should outrank the elected President of the United States.
The case stems from President Trump’s March decision to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, both Democrat commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission.
Trump acted squarely within Article II, which vests all executive power in the President.

The Supreme Court on Monday held explosive oral arguments for over two hours.
During the argument, Justice Jackson launched into a “No Kings” rant, claiming that presidents should have almost no control over scientists, economists, regulators, and other “experts” in Washington’s bureaucratic empire.
According to Jackson, the President, elected by millions of Americans, should NOT control:


Jackson invoked warnings about “monarchy,” suggesting that letting the President fire bureaucrats would somehow place America on the road to kingship.



Justice Brett Kavanaugh weighed in with a devastating hypothetical.

Justice Kavanaugh:
“I want to give you a chance to deal with the hard hypothetical. When both Houses of Congress and the President are controlled by the same party, they create a lot of these independent agencies or extend some of the current independent agencies into these kinds of situations so as to thwart future Presidents of the opposite party.”

She is dumb, but I suspect this causes tons of issues and costs us tons of money on the long run. Of course it doesn’t need to be like that but all new department heads want to make their mark.
I work in a government adjacent role and I know for a fact one government agency has been reorganized very frequently at what has to be an enormous cost to tax payers each time. I’m certain this flip flopping has something to do with it. Now does that mean I don’t think Trump should be able to put in his own head of the EP, no. Obviously he was elected and I would guess environmental regulations had a lot to do with it. He should be able to direct the EPA at his discretion within the bounds of the law because that’s partly why he was elected. I’m personally thrilled with what he did to EV’s and gasoline MPG regulations.

I’m simply saying I don’t like how it costs us boatloads of money as I suspect it doesn’t at the federal level. The department I know that was reorganized so many times I can’t tell you how many hours were put into changing the title of departments and how many documents needed to be changed but I’m sure it’s immense. How many people were moved from this team or that team and how many business cards needed to be reprinted as a result. How many webpages needed to be changed must be staggering. The government should think about that as well because it just costs us tons of cash to do all this.

The constitution says the president *is* the executive branch. Everyone else is just an assistant.

Literally every iota of power any of them has is delegated from POTUS, and *only* from POTUS.

The legislature cannot create any executive authority that isn't vested in the POTUS. How POTUS chooses to delegate that authority is entirely an executive function that isn't subject to legislative nor judicial review.

Article II
Section 1


The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

That's it, the entirety of the executive power is vested in the POTUS, and there is no room for anything else.

Nah, only if they were trying to get rid of a Biden appointment. If they were trying to get rid of a Trump appointment the color of skin wouldn’t matter and it would be praised. The rabid hate for Trump is astounding.
People telling you that you can’t talk about this or that because Trump is in office and what others did before him is not relevant. Well the people against Trump want to do what they are claiming isn’t relevant and they are saying that’s what they want to do to regain power so it is revenant. By that I mean this is only relevant because they are getting rid of a Biden person they like, but if it was the next democrat getting rid of a Trump appointment Brown wouldn’t be saying this.

She is a unlettered savage among the illuminati.............she is a communist of the first waters, and her brand of ignorant Marxism/Communism.......... is that of a commie proletariat, deciding that whites are bad...............very bad.

How much longer the split can exist in the country, between the left and right, depends upon IF the left is able to get armed up.

85 million armed MAGA in red states, are the silent glue, holding back the tide of communism, despite the force of numbers from the cities, ..................minorities attacking Keokuk, Iowa, Scardsdale, NY, the UP of Michigan, and the great plains......... it would be like Napoleons Army attacking Russia..............total failure.

We hold the high ground, by force of numbers and general orneryness............Letita James knows this....upstate NY, is MAGALAND.

Beware of the CCP potentially Garrisoned in the Adirondacks. Linda Son did it.

Every lower court judge in the chain that pushed this on to the supremes should be impeached! This is so stupid that a real supreme court, run by real Americans would be publicly chastising the lower courts for judicial malpractice.

Only if we get over 67 Senators in the Senate, can we impeach every last commie Fed Judge.

Until then, were are stuck with the baby boomer commie rats. A Republican POTUS is necessary to only appoint Americans.

A DEI hire at its worst. She is a DMV clerk impersonating a supreme Court Justice. She should be laughed out of office instead of impeached.

You misspelled illegal and violation of Federal Policy. Name me any job opening saying “We are looking to hire a [Insert race here] [Insert gender specific here] that would not be sued almost immediately and win? I thought an interesting point was raised by a respected Democrat; [It would be nice if we could break the ceiling of Ivy League graduates only. There was a candidate within the discriminated restrictions who met that last one as well.

Does anyone really believe she was appointed for reasons besides being black, a woman, and probably a carpet muncher as well?
Civics Classes taught us there were no requirements for being appointed for life to the Supreme Court of the United States.

She is using a different level of word salad. Little of what was said refers to law; the only thing the SCOTUS is tasked to do and consider. It was the main reason Roe was overturned and was warned by prominent Dem members during their opinions; RBG. Her language uses a good deal of inflammatory interjections as well; neutrality.

Absolutely.

Those were all good PUBLIC reasons to appoint her.
Ultimately, though, she was appointed because she marched in lock-step with the left's wackiest stupidities. She was to be the first of a bunch of severely biased and compromised individuals pushing the left's agenda by undermining the Constitution.

Too many deep state / RINOs already and I'm not convinced Trump or his inner circle would actually do what many see as obviously needed or a priority.

They ARE Democrats and as such are quite sure they need to rule according to their interpretations of what Society needs or how it should be run opposed to the Constitutional instructions...Feelings, not Facts.
Look back at Roe v. Wade and how a Liberal Court ruled according to their feelings on the subject opposed to the clear Constitutional mandate "...those Rights not enumerated are reserved to the States..." which is exactly what Thomas did: sent the subject back to the individual States to decide how they wanted to proceed.
Have to remember the Dems are petulant children that want everything their way, and get all butt-hurt and stupid when things don't go their way.
Given the plain language of the Second, the numerous SCOTUS Rulings in favor (even though they're left open ended) of the Second Amendment, Governments of the States still find ways to limit if not deny the ability to exercise it.
