Supreme Court Backs Trump, Eroding Agency Independence | JQJO

The Supreme Court sided with Donald Trump, allowing him to fire leaders of two independent agencies despite existing law protecting them. This decision, issued via the shadow docket, departs from nearly a century of precedent. While not a final ruling, it signals the conservative majority's willingness to grant Trump significant control over the executive branch. A notable exception was made for the Federal Reserve. Dissenting justices criticized the decision as rewarding Trump's disregard for the law and potentially creating a highly subservient executive branch.
