Great... just full return to the Spoils system. 😑

mistergrueso.bsky.social•7 days ago

The maga justices believe workers are lazy and have zero rights. Fuck the Roberts Court!

bribleck.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is a stay, not final decision on merits? The message is… goodbye Jerome Powell

billmccormickpm.bsky.social•7 days ago

So POTUS can break laws once again as he might have his fifis hurt if he doesnt get his way. Sigh

somearelakes.bsky.social•7 days ago

why is the Fed exempt, Calvinball?

jamesski.bsky.social•7 days ago

He bought and paid for all six...

taz1.bsky.social•7 days ago

They made him King. UGH

connywaltemath.bsky.social•6 days ago

Okay so next admin, we do the same thing.

jstrw.bsky.social•7 days ago

Kagan's dissent is an absolute must-read.

abhinary.bsky.social•7 days ago

Harm to TRAITOR trump?🤦🏽‍♀️

wayofthelotus.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is a shadow docket decision.

peacherina.bsky.social•7 days ago

😞

moderately-grouchy.bsky.social•7 days ago

NLRB practically speaking has no power so this is just a 🤷‍♂️ doesn't really matter in reality

mmarc1.bsky.social•7 days ago

6-3 again. Not surprise anymore. Dang it.

payne588.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hard to imagine the decision going this way if the president was a Democrat.

mitchellepner.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good bye to Humphrey’s Executor. While the majority opinion says it does not mean Trump can fire the Fed Governors, I do not trust that will withstand scrutiny.

There is a very real possibility that we will not have any Federal Reserve independence by 2028.

randomino.bsky.social•7 days ago

"The president is prohibited by statute from removing these officers except for acuse, and no qualifying cause was given"

How are the next words not "Request denied"?

mosescarr.bsky.social•7 days ago

But Trump said he's on the side of working people! And Rubio said the GOP is a "multiethnic, multiracial, working-class coalition"!

Could it be that neither Trump nor Rubio means what they say, and are just cynically talking out of both sides of their mouths???

jig.bsky.social•7 days ago

absolutely insane ruling.

accountabilabuddy.bsky.social•7 days ago

The board members should declare immunity for themselves and stay in office anyway.

lostcausenation.bsky.social•7 days ago

The rule of law in America is a complete and utter lie, and it has been for several years now. Why anyone would bother studying it or arguing it is beyond comprehension.

pcta1129.bsky.social•7 days ago

Harm to whom? The one or the 340 million

ladycross.bsky.social•7 days ago

SCOTUS conservatives getting it wrong again.

annemthorson.bsky.social•6 days ago

So, regardless of what the LAW might be, they’re giving in because he’ll throw an outright tantrum if they don’t?

The bravery of SCOTUS, folx.

dc-mitzvah-girl.bsky.social•7 days ago

So much for stare decisis... Again

supernessie64.bsky.social•7 days ago

I have a hard time imagining they would have let Biden do this

theprestige.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wait 'til he fires SCOTUS (seriously - the 6 are utter morons and incapable of seeing the endpoint. Hope they enjoy their status when they're up against the wall).

annmcmillan.bsky.social•7 days ago

Cool now we just need several Democratic presidents in a row.

theohonohan.bsky.social•7 days ago

Is this the bit your post is glossing? "The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing aremoved officer to continue exercising the executive powert han a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty."

ricosuavejd.bsky.social•7 days ago

"except for the Fed, because reasons"

jsmith85.bsky.social•7 days ago

So hypothetically… these commissions/boards that are supposed to have fair partisan splits, which lead to gridlock. Couldn’t any future president just continually fire the other party members to allow commissions and boards to pass whatever?

jillmotorfreak.bsky.social•7 days ago

Except Republicans expect to remain in power from now on, they will make sure any future "election" is show only.

vaelis.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes. Republicans are behaving as if they don’t ever have to worry about these precedents being used against them which is super interesting.

cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social•7 days ago

They know that the precedents have not and will not ever be used against them.

ubermenchies.bsky.social•7 days ago

Because they know Dems won't abuse the power like Republicans are. Just like SCOTUS knew Biden wouldn't abuse the presidential immunity power like Trump is. If they thought otherwise for even a millisecond they never would have granted it.

ricchciuk.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s less that the Dems won’t “abuse the power,” it’s more that the Dems won’t use their power to help people.

ubermenchies.bsky.social•7 days ago

By continuing Trump's precedent of making apolitical boards into partisan shitshows? FOH with this nonsense take.

ricchciuk.bsky.social•7 days ago

The NLRB is already a partisan shit show. Why won’t you Blue MAGA dipshits let it become a partisan shit show for good?

vaelis.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’d amend that slightly to “they expect Dems won’t abuse the power” and add in “and they also expect to corruptly rule from here on out given media control” but people have always had a way of surprising the autocrats who underestimate them.

That includes the elites of the DNC.

jsmith85.bsky.social•7 days ago

So next democratic president could fire Brendan Carr and Republican FCC commissions and they could vote to pull Fox broadcasting license? I’m not saying any of this is a good pattern to establish… but that’s legal now?

vaelis.bsky.social•7 days ago

I would assume so between the combo of the “president is king” of prior decisions and this. I’m sure Rs would try to do the “no no no our decision was limited to just this one decision [that was in our favor]” that they’ve done since Bush vs. Gore but I don’t think any future president has to listen

davidbrentwood.bsky.social•7 days ago

The networks are not licensed by the FCC, so they have no licenses to pull.

pitbullallie.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's not interesting. They've been trying to undermine fair elections for years.

vaelis.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m using this in the “may you live in interesting times” way, not in the “oh wow I’m a sweet summer child who needs to be educated on what republicans have been doing” way

zoemom.bsky.social•7 days ago

If only Mitch McConnell had not gone against all norms when it came to confirming SC Justices we would have a Supreme Court that was for the American People.

kencomplain.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sure, that’s part of the problem. The non-functioning Congress is another. Before all that, ignoring impeachable offenses. Everyone passes the buck, says it’s someone else’s problem. Just a bunch of dumbfuckery all around.

zoemom.bsky.social•7 days ago

True

valjurai.bsky.social•7 days ago

If that's the argument, shouldn't we then remove Trump, too? Re: harm done

artemisprime.bsky.social•7 days ago

SCOTUS treats this admin like their spoiled child. You’re harming them by not letting them do whatever they want

jbssocal.bsky.social•7 days ago

More harm to POTUS? Harm is in his not getting and doing whatever he wants? Part of the scotus carte blanche program I assume. Can’t stop themselves can they.

meandyou22.bsky.social•7 days ago

I hate this GD country
