I'm thinking these SC decisions are really opening up future presidents to lots of POWER!

Do these stupid judges realize the problems they are creating?

[Metaphorical]

1. I thought the same thing

The next Democratic president could restaff the FTC, the FCC, the NLRB and a whole host of others. It's as if they truly believe that Trump and the GOP will be the only ones ever in power again.

3. Which will be a question.

The old precedent's reasoning relied on the FTC's being predominantly quasi-judicial and quasi-legislative, trivially executive in nature and therefore not subject to executive control. The argument continued that the current FTC exercises considerable executive power, implementing and executing dozens of statutes. Since it's shifted to being largely executive, it's now executive in nature.

Is the NLRB primarily executive? In that case that reasoning would hold. If it's primarily judicial or legislative, then it wouldn't.

2. I'm pretty sure the "Conservative" SCOTUS members don't care.

They're part of the current Political/Religious elite. (white Xtian Nationalists and Guilded Age WASP Corporatists will accept Rad-Trad Catholics that might mouth platitudes but still are exclusivist country club types that disapprove of "Communists" and the current Pope...)

And since Thomas doesn't really have kids other than his nephew he trots out occasionally, I'm pretty he and Ginny will be perfectly happy with the Rich White Patriarchy Status Quo, as long as they don't have to give up any of their perks
Any suffering of the masses is beneith them.

They are the ones whose answer to "The peasants are revolting" is "You're telling me - they're disgustingly low class, dirt poor, useless, and stink on high."

4. That's not what we should want. The president is already too powerful

[bluestarone]

5. Oh, i 100% agree. I'm worried about this power they are probably getting.

It's like a whole new world here. THIS court is upsetting everything NORMAL in our country. Their decisions will create a Frickin MESS in our country and upset our NATO allies. Everything could change depending on WHO controls the White House. Nothing but confusion and more confusion.

6. For all future Presidents.
