Win for Rebecca Slaughter as court rules commissioners may not be dismissed by a president without cause
A divided US appeals court on Tuesday allowed the US federal trade commissioner, Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat, to resume her role at the agency, as Donald Trump tries to remove her from office.
In a 2-1 decision, the District of Columbia circuit court of appeals allowed a lower court decision in favor of Slaughter to take effect, rejecting the Trump administration’s request to delay the ruling during its appeal.
The court said that FTC commissioners may not be fired by a president without cause, saying that the law on this point had been clear for nearly a century.
Happy to see the Separation of Powers limping along. It’s really our only hope, now.
Supreme Court: I’ll allow it…
As a treat
Tribunal of Six:
*Junta of 6
There was still one judge willing to let Trump do whatever he wants
Trump is the dude that never puts in a change request, so everyone has to roll back the fuck ups.

Good gravy, what a mess…
The republican traitor filth must be dealt with.
So much winning!
Is it time to sic the Jan 6 hostages on the appeals court?
Now begins the process whereby some low level in the White House will be tasked with watching her every move and combing through her entire life and history to find a cause to fire her.
Nah they will go to friendly supreme Court
Bets on if this survives the SC?
