"Trump to TRY to fire Powell, although doing so may be illegal" is the headline.

I changed my original headline, as it was deceptive. It was a condensed humorous remark by Ken White. It read:

"The Supreme Court is poised to issue an order stopping any lower court from interfering with illegally firing Powell."

The revised headline gives John Pfaff’s thoughts. Thanks to those who replied for pointing that out.

Powell himself has said that firing him is illegal and that he will fight back.

"Trump to TRY to fire Powell, although doing so may be illegal" is the headline.

Not "Trump to fire Powell in days ahead."

3. Is this real life or satire?

It's so hard to tell these days. In less corrupt times, this would all seem ridiculous. But here we are. Fuck.

4. I hope when Dems are back in power,

Seats are added to the Supreme Court.

6. This is just two bluesky posters opinionating, not news.

7. John Pfaff is a law professor at Fordham University.

Not just some "Bluesky poster."

Not really sure why you're taking a swipe at our friends over there.

8. Powell

Satire

9. Powell

SCOTUS has already said that Trump did not have the authority to fire Powell.
