Under federal #law, #Trump is free to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a member of the #FTC. But he has to provide a reason. #Congress has defined sufficient cause to fire a member of the FTC as “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”

@Nonilex But after all, #HumphreysExecutor was used to prevent #FDR from replacing a conservative. Now that the #GOP has power, of course the ruling is inappropriate.
#SituationalJurisprudence is not a basis for justice or integrity in government.

I have no idea how this takes shape in practice, but at the tippy top of court reform in the post-Trump era is impeaching between four and five Supreme Court justices, Roberts, Alito, and Thomas to start. #SCOTUS #HumphreysExecutor
1) One issue in #HumphreysExecutor case Trump v. Wilcox is nature of power exercised by @NLRB and @USMSPB, which SG raised in stay request to SCOTUS (admin. stay by CJ): www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24... from 2_Wilcox-Harris%20Appl.pdf (🧵from X)
9) At base, Judge Rao’s dissent relies on her substantive view that #HumphreysExecutor should be overruled; while that contention may be correct about FTC & other agencies, it isn’t correct across the board
1) #HumphreysExecutor seems headed for #SCOTUS as en banc CADC denies stay of orders curbing dismissal of @NLRB & @USMSPB members: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/orders/docs/... 🧵(also on X)
5) Partial obstruction in Millett’s dissent: circuit court’s duty to follow SCOTUS precedent, including Justice Sutherland’s swapping out of substance for slogans like “quasi-judicial” and “quasi-legislative” in #HumphreysExecutor
Quote from Ferguson: I think some benefits in certain circumstances to having multi member agencies with people from both parties. I mean, look, if you have an agency that is exceeding the law, abusing the companies that are purports to regulate, it's helpful for markets, for courts, for litigants, for government transparency to have people in the other party pointing this out and saying it in dissents. Like you know, I wrote four hundred plus pages of descents during my time as a Minority commissioner. I think that that adds value.
Quote from Ferguson:President Donald J. Trump is the head of the executive branch and is vested with all of the executive power in our government. I have no doubts about his constitutional authority to remove Commissioners, which is necessary to ensure democratic accountability for our government. The Federal Trade Commission will continue its tireless work to protect consumers, lower prices, and police anticompetitive behavior. I wish Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya well, and I thank them for their service.

Let’s see if SCOTUS stands up for court precedent. #HumphreysExecutor. Pay attention to these words. They’ll be coming up a lot.
