Supreme Court Called Back To Washington, D.C. – Issue Emergency 6-3 Ruling In Case Involving President Donald Tru…

The 6-3 decision marks the second time the justices have allowed Trump’s terminations at independent agencies to stand. The majority cited its May emergency ruling that upheld Trump’s removal of officials from two other independent agencies, stating the Consumer Product Safety Commission did not differ in “any pertinent respect.”

“Although our interim orders are not conclusive as to the merits, they inform how a court should exercise its equitable discretion in like cases,” the unsigned order reads.

The three justices appointed by Democratic presidents dissented publicly. “By means of such actions, this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another. Respectfully, I dissent,” wrote Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
