“That responsibility is incompatible with at-will removal by the president...such unfettered authority would make the board and its members beholden to the very authority it is supposed to oversee on behalf of Congress and the American people,” wrote Judge Walton...Drumpf = Moron

We are in danger of "ho hum" on news syories like this. Seriously, what difference does it make. Trump fires, judge says illegal move, Trump shrugs, nothing changes except chaos.

He'll be looking for ways to arrest this judge now, too.

He's doing a lot of illegal things. Where is the enforcement?? Do judges actually have any power anymore?

What recourse is there?

Grounds for impeachment

In late January, Mr. Trump fired all three board members who had been selected by Democrats.

Although 'arbitrary' seems like the wrong word here in reality.
